Interview
Future Past
Jesse Darling interviewed by Chris McCormack
I sometimes try to imagine not just a different future but a different past, one that has been there all along, maybe, in a different timeline, a story that we didn't learn in school. So, with these works I'm trying to imagine backwards as well as forwards, into the past that might have become, or might yet become, some kind of alternative present.

The Exhibition as Performance
Sarah E James finds collaborative exhibition formats that offer more complex models than those put forward in Claire Bishop's new book Disordered Attention
Claire Bishop fails to articulate the ways in which capitalism, spectacle, commercialisation and a general depoliticisation of culture have worked in tandem with the cultivation of distraction, the erosion of memory, solidarity and social action.
From the Back Catalogue The Waiting Game Marcus Verhagen on the politics and aesthetics of time. First published in 2017, now free online.

Book Marks
Greg Thomas considers our relation to books as an embodied encounter that leaves traces on both the object and the individual
Against Decorum reminds us that, like the human body, the codex can travel through time and space, and carries the marks of its journey with it. Like us, it is unique yet related to a mass of similar individuals. The book as body as chronograph.

Profile
Delcy Morelos
Michael Kurtz
In Delcy Morelos's installations, with their rich humus smells, embracing structures, surfaces inhabited by insects and green shoots, the beholder is no longer subject to the artwork's object but immersed in a dynamic ecosystem.

Editorial
Set in Stone
Stonehenge, arguably the greatest neolithic land artwork was, new research shows, the product of collaboration over centuries by migrant populations working together across great distances and lands that are now divided by national borders.
More recent archaeology of the site has revealed a society much more complex and sophisticated than was previously thought, whose people were closely related to migrants, from the Balkans and other south-eastern regions, who migrated westwards along the Mediterranean coast before settling in the far north of the continent. There is evidence that they were not insular but connected by a wide trading network to Europe and beyond.

In a State
New research shows how 14 years of successive Tory-led governments has pushed the arts ecosystem to the brink; the Royal Academy finds itself under pressure over its decision to present, and then remove, images relating to the war in Gaza; an Iranian artist is jailed for work that mocks the regime; a statue is beheaded after protests by anti-abortion campaigners; the Science Museum ditches one oily sponsor but fudges its reasoning to keep another; plus the latest on galleries, people, awards and more.

The Wastes cover
Artists' Books
Roy Claire Potter: The Wastes
Lauren Velvick
'I get caught up in the world,' says the protagonist. This mode of experience also describes how I approached the reading of the book as a whole: cover, sleeve, dedication, story, epilogue and further research. Given the explicitly experimental scope of this artist's book, the spaces around it and what you find in them are as relevant as the central text itself.
Pictures and the Past cover
Books
Alexander Bigman: Pictures and the Past – Media, Memory and the Spectre of Fascism in Postmodern Art
Morgan Falconer
Paradoxically, given how immersed they were in mass media, the Pictures group evinced a deep distrust of it, one whose basis is reminiscent of Walter Benjamin's warning against the aestheticisation of politics under fascism.

Speculative Libraries
Nick Thurston
The tier on my sliding scale in between such symbolic gestures and all-out speculative libraries is an amorphous in-between zone, neither one nor the other. The library-artworks in my grey area tend to hover between being a library item and being representations of a library or libraries. They propose 'nearly libraries', hidden libraries and the like.

Salerooms
Summertime Blues
Colin Gleadell
The summer sales had been looking soft for a while. Gathering valuable works of art for sale so soon after New York's big May sales was always a challenge and, with the added hurdle of Brexit red tape for overseas sellers, the summer totals had been slipping.

Store-to-Own
Henry Lydiate
The first Zero Art Fair in Upstate New York was scheduled to last four days in July 2024, but lasted only two, because nearly all the exhibited artworks were taken away by collectors – who paid no money to the selling artists. Instead, collectors signed a novel online agreement as a 'Friend' of the selling 'Artist'.
