ART PAPERS 45.04 - Summer 2022

***

Summer 2022 // New Commons explores what is held in common, what is shared, and what is public, now. It features artistic practices that engage with adaptive and visionary notions of the commons, public space, and shared experience in response to pandemic reconfigurations along with anti-colonial and anti-racist movements’ reclamation of the commons. Contributions also look to artists’ critical engagement with humor and corporate aesthetics, to archives and history, and to radical accessibility in virtual meeting spaces.
