Crash #106: New Horizons

In the autumn of 2025, it’s as if we had to stay the course at all costs and look to new horizons. To take inspiration from the artists of the past at their most radical and exemplary: nicola l., lorraine o’grady, major artists of extraordinary courage and resolution.

Observe the artists of today who are imbuted with the beauty that is possible: frida orupabo and her radical, poetic collages, as well as cult artist raymond pettibon. cham lavant, camille dagen, helen marten, artist-directors with approaches as sharp as they are committed.

Bastien bouillon, a chameleon actor who invents a new masculinity. bruce gilden and his sharp yet volunteer take on american society. Noee abita and emily fairn, young free-spirited actresses. Will art, culture, beauty and intelligence be able to continue to emerge? Can they break the deadlock? As annie lebrun said, ‘beauty is a breakthrough that opens up a horizon that allows us to escape from what is’. It is this beauty that will allow us to open up new horizons and prevent us from believing that we can’t get out of this world and that there is no alternative.
