“If the opposite of being an influencer is being influenced, in the age of “identity capital,” fandom begins to look like a radical act.” The April installment of @badaude’s “Theory of Style,” is now online!
This spring, Spike is keeping its cool by getting real, with The Pessimist Issue. When every day threatens a fresh hell just next door or half a world away, is art likelier to be a bracing glass of cold water, or just one more delicious anesthetic? shop.spikeartmagazine.com
Ahead of its re-premiere tonight at @BAM_Brooklyn, filmmaker, Net art pioneer, and @Guggenheim prizewinner Shu Lea Cheang talks to Spike about her avant-anarcho eco-satire “Fresh Kill.” spikeartmagazine.com/articles/inter…
Beyond affirming that fashioning a new self is often a matter of class, Constance Debré’s coming-out auto-fiction “Playboy” (@SemiotextePress) is a cold, hard accounting of being bored shitless. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/revie…
Journey into the sugary heart of gay romance, from yaoi to E.M. Forster, @wuhoo774 asks: Why is gay happiness so controversial? Is it just because they’re having better sex? spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay…
Need a foot massage during @ArtBasel Hong Kong? Spike confidante Eugenia Lai has some suggestions – as well as strong opinions on the city’s best tapas, speakeasies, and cha chaang tengs. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/going…
“The thought of snorting cocaine all night in a crowded bar of ‘art people’ gave me anxiety. I fell asleep early instead.” – @MichelleLhooq on woo woo white women, @trinityvigorsky doing her occult thing, and the afterlife of the rave at LA Art Week spikeartmagazine.com/articles/art-i…
Is talking through childhood trauma an ode to new beginnings, or just another turn round an endless carousel? Gianna Prein reviews Gisèle Vienne’s choreography “EXTRA LIFE” at @tanzquartier spikeartmagazine.com/articles/revie…
“In the absence of frumpiness,” @badaude writes, “style can only embody conventional values: smart clothes, luxe fabrics, chic tenues, young, thin, able bodies: boring. But, equally, there’s no marker of privilege like the freedom not to be ‘chic’.” spikeartmagazine.com/articles/on-fr…
“An artwork’s ‘aura’ is tested by the layout of social media timelines and the coding of promotional algorithms – that is, by the conditions of their reception near kittens, beaches, and countless ads.” – @francescoten on “Unbound” at @juliastoschek spikeartmagazine.com/articles/revie…
In a one-man battle with Reddit, the hype cycle, and AI deepfakes over control over his output, @playboicarti is pushing his artistic identity to the breaking point. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay…
“From its very beginnings, race in the US has been inextricably tangled with visibility. How, then, how does one vie, against odds, to be seen? And when is it more strategic to vanish out of sight entirely?” – Dawn Chan on “Going Dark” at the @Guggenheim spikeartmagazine.com/articles/revie…
In memory of René Pollesch (1962–2024), a 2005 conversation with Olaf Nicolai distills the late @Volksbuehne director’s onstage commitment to affirming his collaborators’ lives in all their messy specificity. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/conve…
If Post-Internet art is dead, Kat Kitay asks, what’s going to take its faddish place? Technoromanticism may find the sublime by devirtualizing online culture – or usher in an end-times of Gothic circuit board worship. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay…
2 years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, @philipphindahl visited several artists in Kyiv who are working intensely to rewrite history, memorialize the right now, and prefigure life after war. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay…
“When fashion doesn’t serve social mobility where does luxury go? And now that quiet luxury is reproduced by every chain store that stocks a knitted co-ord in tones of sludge, what clothes are really ‘luxe?’” @badaude’s “Theory of Style” is now online! spikeartmagazine.com/articles/theor…
Amid the live-streamed destruction of Gaza, Spike editor-at-large Adina Glickstein reports from a festival about the horror of content on tactical cuteness, deteriorating platforms, and sticking with the mess IRL. spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay…
Ready to sell labels, galleries, and museums on your favorite art mag? Then get in touch! We’re hiring two Sales Associates to bring in the €€€ that make Spike go. Contacts and savvy in Fashion or Art essential; prior sales roles preferred but no must. spikeartmagazine.com/careers
“@tiravanija not only consciously produced and reproduced commodities, but also documented the process of his ‘becoming commodity,’ his difference ‘eaten’ by a post-1989, globalized art world.” Our review from @MoMAPS1 is now online! spikeartmagazine.com/articles/revie…
“Knowledge doesn’t simply come to you; it also involves what you yourself and the space you’re in will allow you to know.” – artist Mimi Ọnụọha (@thistimeitsmimi) in conversation with @a_gilliams for Spike, now online! spikeartmagazine.com/articles/inter…
