[Nettime-bold] Mix Magazine Toronto - March 2002

MIX Announces ‘Subterfuge’ for Spring. 

MIX chose the theme of ‘Subterfuge’ for its spring issue as way to 
approach the subject of art and politics. Planned in advance of 09/11, 
in light of those events the theme takes on new significance. Subterfuge 
characterized the WTC and Pentagon attacks, and subterfuge is one means 
by which art can embody the political. Articles in the issue take 
differing approaches to the topic. 

In ‘Art/Politics/Subterfuge,’ anarchist and academic, Allan Antliff, 
discusses activist artworks, connected to both anarchism and the 
anti-globalism movement, that deliver unambiguously political messages. 

Vancouver journalist Mark Fernandes gives us the 
art-and-politics-big-picture in ‘Jean Baudrillard: Radical (re) Form’, 
an article that synthesizes a number of talks he had with the French 
philosopher. 

In ‘Form as Subterfuge,’ a special MIX feature on art and politics, 
lecturer on philosophy, Jean-Ernest Loos, writer and curator, Anne-Marie 
Ninacs, artist, John Marriott, and architect, Marie-Paule MacDonald, 
give in-depth answers to the question: “How Does Form Relate to Politics 
in Contemporary Art?” 

Terence Dick writes about MIX cover artist, Shinobu Akimoto, whose 
practice of using IKEA products as they were intended and as material 
for her art, effects subterfuge on the categories of art, life. 

Additionally, Melanie O’Brian writes about ‘Promises’, the first 
curatorial gambit by Christina Ritchie, the new head curator at 
Vancouver’s Contemporary Art Gallery; and in ‘On The Rise: Independent 
Art Spaces in Asia’ Natalie De Vito reports back from a conference she 
attended in Hong Kong on Asian artist run-spaces. 

Also in the Subterfuge issue: Artist Run Culture, a 17-page portfolio on 
current shows around the country; artist projects by, Steve Reinke, 
Shawna Dempsey and Lorrie Milan, Pamila Mirthu, Andrew Harwood, and 
Oliver Hockenhull; and as always, the MIX FREE ARTIST CLASSIFIEDS! 

On newsstands March 19th.
