Fear II

Winter 2008

In questioning diverse artistic practices that either have recourse or attempt to neutralize fear, this second issue dedicated to this theme endeavours to reflect on the feeling of fear experienced in day to day life. In addition to cinema and video (which we are more likely to associate spontaneously with fear), this issue also addresses painting, the installation, performance, and web art.

Crip

Spring Summer 2026

While “handi” (short for the term “handicapé” in French) and “crip” (derived from “cripple,” meaning “disabled”) are diminutive forms of stigmatizing terms, the meaning we ascribe to them is by no means reductive. On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who embrace them with a powerful tool for empowerment, offering disabled artists non-normative ways for articulating the strange temporalities of disabled experience and alternative ways for navigating an ableist art world. In this issue, we are interested precisely in this work of social, political, and cultural transformation, and we focus on the ways in which crip authors and artists address the different challenges they face.
