Flash Art #355

Flash Art’s summer issue takes on “the Unsolved.” Many readers are just beginning to recover from the chaos and rumble that was the opening of the 61st Venice Biennale, “In Minor Keys.” In the weeks that have followed, publications have been awash with think pieces on what to do in the face of the event’s highs and lows. Ultimately, we’ve seen a melancholic heaviness seep into the corners and hues of the art being made in this time of conflict, economic recession, and unrest. In this summer edition, the artists and writers don’t attempt to provide a solution. Rather, their work is a kind of exploratory lens on the world, one that looks at the ways we’ve unraveled without attempting to put it back together.
