Culturala, Issue 1 – Disappearance

Culturala is a network-based art theory journal. We dream of an interconnected art world we can all be a part of. To achieve this, we believe in the need for a new, direct language to speak about art. Working closely with and through a broad community of artists, writers, curators and researchers, culturala is an experiment with thisnew language for contemporary art through digital and printed journal issues, exhibitions, workshops and newsletters.

In this issue:

In the first issue of Culturala, a poet, three photographers and a dozen writers and researchers explore the different meanings of disappearance, seeking them in the contemporary world of art, emotion, popular culture, memory, music and literature. On the pages of culturala you’ll find essays, artworks and readings of the disappearance of self, the disappearance of time and memory and the disappearance thathappens when change is so fast that ‘the new’ disappears in front of our eyes, always replaced with ‘the newer’.FEATURINGAnna Cherednikova, Daisy Corbin O’Grady, Alejandra Espinosa, Dhiman Gupta, Jasper Jones, Maria Kruglyak, Laureen Lehoux, Diana Lizette Rodriguez, Matthias London, Daniel Matthews, Simona Patrizi, Sarah Scott, Angeliki Vidou, Silja Vornanen, Bianca Wallis-Salmon and Elspeth Walker.
