In this issue:

He Jing hosts a roundtable with Li Shurui,Wang Guangle and Xie Molin about physicality and control in their painting process.

"I think that all three of us lean toward 'painting,' because as the physical experience accumulates, something akin to faith begins to emerge within the overall process. I would define this chemical reaction as the watershed that divides 'painting' from 'producing an image.'"

— Li Shurui

Time Machine

(FromFlash Art International, no. 143, November – December 1988)

Neïl Beloufa talks with Maurizio Cattelan about participation and resistance in his artistic practice.

"I like visible failures, lack of efficiency and a sense of messiness in my pieces. It’s a way of reacting to a world in which everything is turned into a productive industry, and you only feel you exist if you’re growing."

— Neïl Beloufa

Steph Kretowicz explores the sight-versus-sound music and images of Arca.

"Like the transformative nature of a convex lens, the image — or in this case, the sound — that it produces depends on how you angle the glass; where it is, where your eye is and how much distance there is between the two. Arca applies this approach to his work liberally."

— Steph Kretowicz

Tobias Madison discusses the insistence on intimacy in the performances of Anne Imhof.

"In her performances Imhof invokes the liquid hell in which we all find ourselves. She invokes the subject whose core action is to calculate the sum of his or her transactions and to measure them in relation to all other subjects."

— Tobias Madison
