Issue 1.1.2 is now live! We are so excited to start adding to issue 1 with two new texts: a studio visit by Bhanu Kapil and Dawn Chan writing about one detail in Laura Owens's last exhibition

A collage of two photos. The top photo shows a small tabletop shrine with a lit tealight candle in a stone holder, a yellow-green crystal, a spoon-shaped decorative object, an open notebook, and a stack of spiral journals. Behind the candle is a religious image of a crowned woman holding a child. The bottom photo shows two crows perched on opposite sides of a concrete picnic table in a sunny park with trees and grass. Three small colorful objects sit on the table. Yellow subtitles at the bottom read, “How were they all sexist if they didn’t even communicate with each other.”

RIP Alison Knowles - beautiful obituary by Irene Revell - discretely reminded me why and whose history we drew from when we were reading Gertrude Stein's 'The Making of Americans' as a group in 2019-2020. @irenerevell.bsky.social 🙏

Richard Torry labours from his DIY lounge chair, constructed in off-white canvas stretched over triangular wooden legs on wheels, complete with padded seating and a head rest. His laptop is connected to two other live screens, allowing him to move files freely when making music or video mixes. Beside him, a helpful articulated arm proffers pens, xylophone sticks and a Bar Italia coffee
