No. 33 - Spring 2024

Please note: This issue is available in Dutch only.

'Power up!' said artist, nurse and activist Corita Kent. Her brightly coloured silkscreens with stirring texts form the starting point of the new spring issue, which is about the rebirth of the world. We go back to the Renaissance in Italy, where in a short period a new worldview had caught fire – one that had been ignited and spread by the printing press – and that had everything to do with the rediscovery and function of beauty. What might such a rebirth look like in our time? In this issue, philosopher James Bridle and curator Catherine de Zegher provide an answer to that question.
