Dérives

Spring / Summer 2005

[In French] La question de mobilité a souvent été traitée par les artistes à travers la figure de celui qui marche, de l’arpenteur. Longtemps représentée, cette mobilité s’incarne désormais dans de nombreuses pratiques artistiques contemporaines. Comme autant de variations sur le thème du flâneur baudelairien, le nomadisme, l’errance, la déambulation, le voyage, les dérives diverses constituent des moyens par lesquels nombre d’artistes observent le monde et proposent d’en faire l’expérience.

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.
