Afterall Journal Issue 38 Explores Queer Temporality and Montage in Contemporary Art

The 38th issue of Afterall Journal, released on 26 April 2015 and curated by Helena Vilalta, delves into a 'queer desire for history' using Carolyn Dinshaw's medievalist perspective, challenging conventional linear narratives. The publication includes critical examinations of works by Sharon Hayes, James Richards, and R.H. Quaytman. Julia Bryan-Wilson analyzes Hayes's video works 'Parole' (2010) and 'Ricerche: three' (2013), emphasizing embodied speech. Kris Cohen describes Hayes's 'love addresses' as a 'broken genre.' Ed Halter links Richards's visuals to lyrical film traditions, while Anders Kreuger investigates changes in Richards's films. Sarah Ganz Blythe and Richard Birkett discuss Quaytman's 'artist's art history,' and João Ribas traces the origins of the solo exhibition. L'Internationale directors address diversity in the face of market challenges, with Dipesh Chakrabarty and Marcus Verhagen looking at non-Western capitalism transitions.
