Excerpts from Grand Openings Book.
While realizing this magazine, we didn't want to express the point of view of a constituency or of an intellectual, social or professional category: the authors, through their participation, reveal that the classifications in which artists and critics are confined are inadequate. Rather, we wanted to build this space at a moment when other issues seem to take priority (economic and political crisis, capitalization of knowledge and the subsequent deterioration of liberties) and many resign to a situation characteristic of our time—the indistinction between information and publicity.
Editorial, p. 17
Launched in 2009 in Paris, May revue examines, once or twice a year, contemporary art practice and theory in direct engagement with the issues, contexts and strategies that construct these two fields. An approach that could be summed up as critique at work – or as critique actively performed in text and art forms alike.
It features essays, interviews, art works and reviews by artists, writers and diverse practitioners of the arts.
