Please join the editors of e-flux journal on Thursday, January 9 at 7pm for an evening launching the journal’s current issue #150: “Experimental Publics”, guest-edited by Mi You. In the wake of what some call the golden era of globalization, this issue plays with the concept of experimentation in relation to public life. Mi You asks, “Is it possible for the backbone of society to experiment with the forces that it is subject to?”
The event will feature a presentation by Mi You on her essay “Art in a Multipolar World” and her eponymous book, forthcoming from Hatje Cantz. A conversation with e-flux journal editor Brian Kuan Wood will follow.
e-flux journal is a monthly art publication featuring writings by some of the most engaged artists and thinkers working today. Its Issue #150 (December 2024) features contributions by Mi You, Danilo Scholz, Jacob Dreyer, Max Grünberg, Dingxin Zhao, Yin Aiwen, Yiren Zhao, and Aslak Aamot Helm.
Art in a Multipolar World (Hatje Cantz, 2025) takes a look at how the increasing multipolarity of our world affects art. It is a diagnosis of the socio-political contexts that surround art and questions what the upheavals in geopolitics, economics, and social policy mean for the field of art today.
