CALL FOR WRITERS

Developments in recent painting have dismantled modern notions of artistic progress and medium-specificity. Not only has painting returned from the dead as “zombie formalism,” but it has often been described as "provisional," a process "beside itself," and in a state of reboot; many of its practices seem barely like painting at all. Not only have contemporary painters pushed the physical limits of the medium, but they have also organized their practices around political, social, and conceptual matrices that challenge the medium’s technical and practical specificity. This issue invites articles that address new directions in painting. We encourage writers to consider painting from social or political as well as aesthetic points of view.
