“The paintings, the video, the sculptures—all of the work—is about being captured in a continual state of transition.” —Sarah Sze This exhibition, the artist’s sixth with Victoria Miro, marks a return to Venice for Sze, who featured in the 1999 and 2015 Biennales and represented the United States with her exhibition “Triple Point” in the 2013 Biennale.

Nina Beier points to unsettling aspects of everyday objects and habits  When society’s appreciation for an object rises or falls, the artist Nina Beier gets interested. It might be a hand-rolled cigar or a vintage sink, its colour once given an imperialist name, such as “Indian ivory” or “Bali brown.” Her sculptures juxtapose objects and materials. In their new contexts they again take on new meanings, for example, in Plug (2018) a thick cigar protrudes out of the drain hole beneath a pastel-toned sink. Nina Beier (b. 1975, Denmark) turns the spotlight onto the biographies and historical ..read more

Dear readers, Think of reading as a way of adding more words to our vocabularies, and many more worlds to our imaginaries. As a tool to permanently rescue and restore narratives. As a chance to reclaim time, space, silence, and critical distance, and ponder how language, when it moves past the compulsive binaries that violence imposes upon it, can hold multiverses together. Language, otherness, hope, desire, and exile are recursive words in this issue. In her essay “To Write in a Foreign Language,” 1 Etel Adnan recalls how, as a child, she tried to learn Arabic by copying the exercises from an ..read more
