To keep things going - now that time has dilated and days are moving slower - we have decided to dig into our archive and share with you a selection of some of the most significant contents published on CURA. in the past eleven years. For those of you who have missed the opportunity of purchasing their copies in the past, this is the moment to catch up.
In the middle of nowhere translates the sense of emptiness, the spiral of uncertainty, the lack of models and coordinates of the historical moment we are going through, to which artists respond by indicating a perspective, a sense, a vision, or simply try to interpret.
Our iconic The October Issue 2019 is fresh off the press and brings together an incredible array of conversations with cutting edge and pioneering artists, together with recurring and brand new sections, that set the rhythm of an upcoming year filled with new and thrilling explorations.
It is a special issue devoted to 22 women artists—among the most representative of the new generation—which explores the plurality, diversity, and complexity of today’s artistic practices. CURA. 31 is another unmissable issue that continues a previous investigation on the powerful presence and key role of women artists within the contemporary art scene, re-affirming and pointing out the basic rights of equality and pluralism.
Issue 30 officially marks the start of the celebrations for CURA.’s 10th anniversary. There isn’t a better moment than this to look back at our past, look into the future and include long-term contributors, new sections, artists’ interventions, friends, curators, and special contents, all gathered together to produce the 250+ pages of a rich, iconic and unmissable issue.
Our yearlong investigation into the body continues. CURA. 28 is devoted to different artistic experiences and practices—crossing generations, time, space, and media—revolving around the boundaries, powers, forms and interpretations of the body that exist within the present world.
