Bruit

Winter 2007

With a connotation that is more negative than that of sound, noise is generally perceived as a nuisance, a parasitic element that insinuates itself within a system to spread disorder. This issue aims to deepen the reflection on the notion of noise in current art, the specific form of exploiting sonorous material evident in the work of an increasing number of artists. Including portfolios by Christof Migone, Jean-Pierre Gauthier, and Jocelyn Robert.

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.
