“When facing up to the great mismanagement and theft of water, we might note the increasing interest in hydro-humanities, a practice that is closely linked with the concept of the hydro-commons, which insists that water sources everywhere are interconnected.”

“Through my art practice, I place the viewer in a position to reconnect with the earth through their bodies and remember where they came from.” ‘On Earth’ – Delcy Morelos interviewed by Elizabeth Fullerton

“If the first YouTube post, ‘Me at the zoo’, has become worthy of the V&A Museum collection, it is because it condenses with ruthless intensity the conditions of attention, representation and consumption that have come to shape art and communication in the first quarter of the millennium.”

“It is ironic that Benvenuto Chavajay’s peripatetic performance honouring Miguel Ángel Asturias was blocked by Parisian authorities at the grave of Asturias, who, when alive, was also a wanderer, expelled from Guatemala in 1954 and stripped of his citizenship for opposing a US-led coup.”

“Anne Truitt’s anomalous sculptural idiom – a minimalistic formalism – points in two directions which seem mutually exclusive: ‘standing’ but ‘intactly’, it complies with sculpture’s definitional conditions to escape their confines.”

“Each reader re-authors the text in the act of reading, and I was fascinated by the way agency was distributed within a group and between human and machine.” ‘Disfluency’ – Anna Barham interviewed by Lizzie Lloyd June Art Monthly www.artmonthly.co.uk pic: Anna Barham, ‘Out of the gravel’, 2022/26

“Megan Plunkett interrogates our relationship, and that of photography, with objects: she works with props, as well as found objects, consumer detritus and film industry replicas, to circumvent established systems of ownership and desire.”

“When Donald Trump was inaugurated as president it seemed that conspiracy, and its particular modes of constructing stories from reality, had officially moved from the margins to the centre.”

“Hassan Khan is unambivalent when he outlines what he sees as art’s critical role in our current times of genocide: ‘To make the taboo visible in a way that is uncensorable is for me at this moment one of the most important political acts art can do.’”

“I think one of the problems of today is a tendency to crystallise meaning when it comes to images of power, in how they are constructed and interpreted, whereas I am seeking to trouble such images.”

“Devastating world wars have clearly altered the course of cultural politics, and they have significantly rewritten the remit of sculpture. Improvisation and bricolage refocused the very sense of making, unmaking, doing and undoing.”

“Soviet conceptualism was largely defined by the absorption of photography into art practices but, unlike western Conceptual Art, it sought to deconstruct mass distribution: unique art objects were central to Moscow conceptualism’s critique of the copy.”

“Ironically, when Modernism was finally free to be uncovered, exhibited and advocated in post-Soviet Russia and throughout so much of its former imperium, it was frequently conjoined with a revived nationalism because each ‘liberated’ state sought to reassert its national distinctiveness.”

“Found objects are everywhere, they’re affordable to work with and have intriguing material qualities, but I’m more interested in them as materials or objects that do not have an inherent or recognised value – as things full of potential, to become or to be, very much like ourselves.”

“A fully realised still lifescape would not only include the makers of the objects represented in still life and the communities which provide their raw materials, those who prepare the dinner or banquet and clean up after it, and the printers and paper makers of the books and manuscripts …

“The words CCCP (Cyryllic for USSR) on Yuri Gagarin's helmet were painted there at the last minute in case the rural population mistook him for a western spy descending into the remote Russian countryside.”

“Ailton Krenak has been quoted as actually welcoming the idea of humans colonising planets like Mars because it might enable the Earth to be ‘left to us’, meaning, of course, indigenous peoples.”

“I was conscious of the ease with which renderings of the landscape can so easily become bucolic or romanticised – the trope of the simple rural ways of living that obscures the continual displacement and expropriation of land in the interests of capital.”
