The Summer issue looks at art and isolation, exploring how creativity, connection, and criticality persist in a world grappling with a global pandemic. The issue features an interview with Josh Smith on his reclusive practice and the relationship between his personal life and artistic output; a deep dive into Mail Art and its historical role in connecting queer communities across distances, offering a relevant model for contemporary isolation; and an examination of the crisis of solidarity within the artworld, questioning existing structures and advocating for new forms of collective action. Contributions from Tai Shani present a script for her latest work, blending personal narratives with mythological themes, while Claudia Andujar's photography is highlighted for its potent blend of art and activism in documenting indigenous struggle. The issue also includes a glossary-style exploration of Mark Manders' unique sculptural practice, delving into his use of materials, illusions, and monumental aspirations, alongside essays reflecting on the unexpected pleasures of experiencing art from home and challenging traditional modes of viewing. Diverse reviews cover key exhibitions and publications that resonate with the current moment, from Martin Kippenberger's work on bureaucracy and control to discussions on race, class, and the environment.
