“Language could never fully index or do justice to the violence, and no art form felt adequate in the face of such extremes. Yet, at some point, there is an obligation to keep creating.” —Jumana Manna, in an interview by TJ Demos for @thirdtext_ ow.ly/kPmS50W1BZO
What if an artwork changes its shape and sense with every encounter? In our special issue on Polyphony, Barbara Preisig’s semi-fictional play departs on a guided public tour through El Anatsui’s Solo exhibition Triumphant Scale. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum’s multimedia practice explores the human condition often as mediated through the artist’s experience of Blackness. Akin Oladimeji interviews her in Third Text Online. thirdtext.org/oladimeji-suns…
Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta would have been 76 years old today. Mendieta’s work spanned mediums from sculpture to performance to video art, often integrating natural materials, the landscape, and her own body. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
The latest issue of Third Text is a special issue on polyphony, which our guest editors describe ‘as method, as a diversity of voices, and as a manifestation of archive and archival practice.’ tandfonline.com/toc/ctte20/cur…
In Third Text Online, Akin Oladimeji interviews Kenturah Davis, LA-based interdisciplinary artist whose first solo show in the UK (‘clouds’ at Stephen Friedman Gallery) closed in July 2024. The full interview is available to read for free: thirdtext.org/oladimeji-kent…
‘Revolutionary Romances? Global Art Histories in the GDR’ explores the aesthetic imaginary of the Cuban Revolution and the independence and liberation movements in Africa in the late 1950s, which sparked hope in the GDR. Constanze Fritzsch reviews: thirdtext.org/fritzsch-revol…
In Summer 1999, Third Text published a special issue on the World Wide Web. It featured writing on postcolonial media theory, the cybersublime, techno-revolution, pirate electronic cultures in India, and even an essay by Slavoj Žižek. centralbooks.com/third-text-47-…
In THIRD TEXT ONLINE, our open-access website journal: Akin Oladimeji's interview with Los Angeles-based artist Kenturah Davis following her solo show opening at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London (31 May-20 July 2024) thirdtext.org/oladimeji-kent…
In Third Text Online, Akin Oladimeji interviews Eliza Kentridge. Their conversation touches upon gender in relation to materials and practices, familial connections, and the question of labor in large-scale installations. thirdtext.org/oladimeji-eliz…
Constanze Fritzsch on the second 'Revolutionary Romances' exhibition at the Albertinum in Dresden - a project exploring the former GDR's links with the 'Global South': "a transcultural perspective of the interwoven nature of an entangled art history..." thirdtext.org/fritzsch-revol…
In Third Text Online: Akin Oladimeji talked with Eliza Kentridge about influences and her use of found materials, sewing & embroidery in her practice, on the occasion of her solo exhibition at London's Cecilia Brunson Projects (11 July–9 August 2024) thirdtext.org/oladimeji-eliz…
In THIRD TEXT ONLINE: Frances DeVuono wonders how successful artist Josh Kline is in his multifarious 'Climate Change' installations and filmwork currently on show at Los Angeles's MOCA (until 5 January 2025), and whether less might be more: thirdtext.org/devuono-joshkl…
Timoteus Anggawan Kusno writes for Third Text Online about his research in the Dutch national archives for his ‘Luka dan Bisa Kubawa Berlari’ installation in the Rijksmuseum's 2022 'Revolusi!' exhibition about Indonesia's independence from colonial rule thirdtext.org/kusno-dismantl…
On this day in 2003, Edward Said, Palestinian-American activist, writer, and intellectual died. Said’s essay ‘The Voice of a Palestinian in Exile’ was published in Third Text in 1988: tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
Phyllida Barlow worked as an artist for sixty years and was largely neglected for a chunk of that time. A new exhibition @HauserWirth Somerset combines 'a bucolic setting' with 'playful works belying serious themes,' making it well worth visiting. thirdtext.org/oladimeji-phyl…
In Third Text Online, Akin Oladimeji interviews Otobong Nkanga, Nigerian-born visual artist whose work centers the environment alongside questions of cultivation and care. ‘You need to have that fire, the hunger to still stay on this planet...’ thirdtext.org/oladimeji-otob…
‘This reshuffling of history, in ways that bring new hope and energy to the past, is typical of the works in Strachan’s show, and much more of this productive revisionism is on display.’ Paul O’Kane on Tavares Strachan @haywardgallery in Third Text Online thirdtext.org/paulokane-tava…
'Phyllida Barlow: unscripted' (at Hauser & Wirth Somerset until 5 Jan 2025) gives Barlow's unique scuptures, with their blend of humour, fun and joy in using material, a suitable outing in the English countryside. Akin Oladimeji reviews it for TT Online: thirdtext.org/oladimeji-phyl…
Akin Oladimeji interviewed artist (and poet) Otobong Nkanga for our open-access Online journal earlier this year, on the occasion of her solo exhibition at London's Lisson gallery:thirdtext.org/oladimeji-otob…
