We are very happy to announce the release of our latest issue of the ArtLeaks Gazette. Entitled (An)Other Art World(s)? Imagination Beyond Fiction
While in our previous issue we sought to bring awareness of the challenges and obstacles of the contemporary art system as a initial, necessary first step in enacting meaningful transformations, with this gazette we aim to move beyond exposure and breaking the silence, towards ways of engagement - or what does it mean to be agents of change in the art world today? What are the conditions and possibilities of alternative art worlds? How can we engage and use our imagination, avoiding, at the same time, the traps of utopian thinking?
The gazette is freely available to read here:Âhttp://issuu.com/vladanrena/docs/artleaks_gazette_2_press
As a learning tool, this gazette is meant to contribute to the critical debates around censorship, exploitation and abuse highlighted on our online archive since 2011. We hope many of you will use it in your own self-organized schools, seminars, workshops, protest meetings, and join our community to push these issues even further. We encourage you to share it widely with your peers that may be interested.Â
The gazette is also available via print on demand. You can make an order by sending us an email at:[email protected]Â
