Afterall: Spring 2015, Issue 38

Since its launching in 1999, Afterall, a journal of art, context and enquiry, has offered in-depth considerations of the work of contemporary artists, along with essays that broaden the context in which to understand it. Published three times a year, Afterall also features essays on art history and critical theory.

Issue 38 examines notions of materiality and historicity in current practices through the work of James Richards, Sharon Hayes, R. H. Quaytman and the Johannesburg-based collective Center for Historical Reenactments. Joao Ribas looks at the origins of the monographic exhibition, while Marcus Verhagen discusses issues of translation in recent practice.
