Trouble magazine issue 2: art and thought without images

The autumn-winter 2002 edition of Trouble, a semiannual magazine focused on contemporary art, emphasizes written content over imagery, resembling a literary journal. Its compact editorial team, which includes an artist, dismisses the necessity for visuals, permitting extensive submissions. This issue presents a range of texts—interviews, essays, and correspondence—that stimulate thoughtful aesthetic engagement. Each contributor, whether a critic, theorist, or visual artist, provides unique perspectives. The magazine's layout features color slides and indented paragraphs that push conventional limits. Notable pieces include Guillaume Désanges' 'Questions pour un champion,' a dialogue between astrophysicist Thierry Foglizzo and artist Boris Achour discussing 'Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote,' along with an interview with Taroop & Glabel reflecting on Christianity. Evence Verdier authored the review.
