Issue 109: Where Do Ideas Come From?
Where do ideas come from? How is it that sometimes we have that eureka moment, when the stars align, and we think about something in a completely new way. How can we encourage ourselves to do that more?
Inside this issue we foreground the Turner Prize-winning Forensic Architecture, who harness design to investigate human rights violations, from terror attacks to ecocide. Meanwhile, we speak with Jason Bruges Studio about the rise of experiential art, interactivity and interdisciplinarity. Mónica de Miranda opens a new show at Autograph ABP, London, which looks at the complexity of the Afrodiasporic experience.
In photography, we welcome Omar Torres, Andoni Beristain, Anastasia Samoylova, Reuben Wu and Neal Grundy, who each play with landscapes in new and innovative ways: from illuminating remote locations with drone lighting to creating paper tableaux that mimic the ways we experience nature online.
Our innovative cover photographers are Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda, who play with form and design, redefining the conventions of structural photography by using the city as a performative canvas.
The Last Words go to MoMA’s Roxana Marcoci, who highlights a seminal Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition.
