Painting as satire (2025) John Hogan
Satire is conceptualised as culturally charge, holding potentially powerful effects and impact. satire as painting provokes critical reflection on authorities, tackles values, dogmas, and taboos, disturbs power relations, and plays with cultural forms and identities. Bad news is seemingly everywhere, the is the place were satire exists. my practice utilises the codes of satire: analogy, parody, subversion, and irony, and realised through graphic elements; signs symbols, and icons, to apportion strength of meaning in my work through the lens of critique and entertainment.

Portico in the Park (2025) Tolga Theo Yalur
This article concerns “absolute void” as an impossible notion to describe via a reductionist approach, whose irreducible relativity emerges from efforts to imagine it – from the CERN laboratories to the artworks at MoMA. Science teaches correlations among things, not things themselves. For this, with photography and artworks, the article reflects in detail on objectivity, multivariate universes, minding the time that brings exclusive universes into the same framework, conceiving an infinite intelligence, an artificial consciousness to see things in that time.
