Spring / Summer 2007

This issue underscores the great diversity of art practices that make use of or that are proximate to the hoax. At times stinging and at other times amusing, the minor and significant impostures presented herein trace the portrait of yet another irreverent attitude that is often prized in the art world and that sometimes still manages to rouse shock.

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.
