Author Description

Afterall, a journal of art, context and enquiry, offers in-depth considerations of the work of contemporary artists along with essays that broaden how to understand it. Issue 28 maps a history of objects, photography and experience. The articles include Brazilian artist Ricardo Basbaum writing about the move to activate the audience in contemporary art, Pablo Lafuente dissecting the role of the object in participatory practices, an exploration of Emily Wardill's elusive films of objects and ossified social relations, a look at the photographic and sculptural practice of Jean-Luc Moulène, and discussions of the work of 1970s Chicago collective AfriCOBRA and the return of modernism in the work of Carol Bove, Mathias Poledna, and others.
