Spike Art #78 - The Night - Winter 2023/24

Spike Art #78 - The Night - Winter 2023/24

Spike’s latest issue is a beacon lit to rescue The Night. 

Long held under suspicion as the domain of outcasts and phantoms, the night has come under pressure to extend the horizon of work and production.

What faith, the state, and capital fear are the perils and promises of the dark’s formlessness: to withdraw into the pure solitude of sleep and dreams’ unreason; to blush with the pure elation of dance and a rave’s ephemeral friendships; even to have one’s edges undone by the murmurs of ghosts or a celestial sign.

Need a break from the tyranny of the sun? Then light a candle, a headlamp, a flare – anything but your phone – and grap your copy to follow us into the possibility of the night.

Featuring: Mark Leckey, Ellen Cantor, Gertrude Stein, Piotr Uklański, P.Staff, Josephine Pryde, Blackhaine, Diego Marcon, Ingrid Wiener, Olivier Assayas, Jamieson Webster, Steven-Phillips-Horst and many more.

About Spike Art:

Spike is one of the world’s most influential art magazines, mixing writing on themes urgent and forever unresolved. Published quarterly by the artist Rita Vitorelli, it is also visually splashy, by turns pushy, poetic, unexpected – and not shy to start an argument.
