www.flashartonline.com

After celebrating with you its 41 years, Flash Art International has changed its format and revitalized its design. To open the new season with you, this issue of Flash Art International devotes three different covers to three different artists: Omer Fast, the more established Paul Chan and the art star Rudolf Stingel.

As part of its journey through the major contemporary art centers worldwide, this issue of Flash Art International explores one of the biggest of them all. Focus London unpicks the celebrated London scene, with a special highlight on the latest news and developments. The artists, writers, curators and art dealers that we have interviewed, along with directors of some of London’s major institutions, provide us with an up-to-date portrait of the city.

As a key figure in London’s artist community, Richard Wentworth discusses his vision of how the urban landscape has been formed over the last years.

Melissa Gronlund presents the new and emerging elements of London’s contemporary art scene that you should try at least once.

One of the protagonists of the London scene, Mike Nelson, is interviewed in his studio on the periphery of London by Michele Robecchi: the artist’s psycho-buildings are at the core of their conversation.

London Artists Dictionary selects 80 of the most exciting London-based artists; whether they be part of an emerging generation or the international establishment.

In this issue, Maurizio Cattelan meets Paul Chan at the sporting bar and chats about the body and the mind.

After the presentation of Looking Pretty for God, realized on the occasion of Manifesta 7 this year, Chen Tamir interviews the Jerusalem-born artist Omer Fast, who shares with us the links between his work and contemporary literature and cinema.

Gary Murayari’s text on Rudolf Stingel starts from the 2004 carpet in New York’s Grand Central Terminal to the latest works for the 55th Carnegie International.

In “White Talent” the work of Cy Twombly is discussed by Laura Cherubini, who interprets the artist’s private alphabet made of symbols, colors and memories.

Raimar Stange deals with the work of Candice Breitz, Björn Melhus, Jonathan Horowitz, Jonathan Monk, Christine Würmell, Michael Mandiberg and Francesco Vezzoli, demonstrating the tight relationship between art and mass media in today’s contemporary art.

In this issue’s Global Art, Simon Castets presents Apichatpong Weerasethakul‘s Morakot (Emerald); while Ouverture focuses on Bozidar Brazda, whose work is introduced by Matthew Lyons. Furthermore, Spotlight presents an overview on the opening show at the Indian Devi Art Foundation, reviewed by Preeti Bahadur Ramaswamy.
