No. 5 (2014): Issue No. 5, April 2014 - Topic of Issue: New Materialism and Art

The topic for this issue, New Materialism and Art, asks the question about what it means to think art as a material process, as an event of matter, that is at the same time part of both nature and culture. How does the ontology of art change within this framework? How does one rethink work of art in relation to society on the basis of active, self-differing matter? And finally, how does the new reconceptualization of matter reflect on the politicity of art?
