Sometime in 1971, Harald Szeemann visited Turin in preparation for the documenta exhibition he was curating for the following year. Among the people he tried to meet in the city was Alighiero Boetti, but when Szeemann visited Boetti’s studio, the Italian artist wasn’t there. All indications are that somebody took the curator through the studio and showed him around, and that, mistakenly, Szeemann forgot a small piece of paper with ...

He has also been a pioneer in addressing crucial issues of housing and urbanization in the Third World, including the proliferation of squatters.

Queer theory has often been hesitant to align itself with a politics of the state, approaching it with a negative or pragmatic framework. A Queer Theory of the State expands an earlier online essay from The Point by historian Samuel Huneke to offer a more optimistic perspective. Rather than eschew political engagement with democratic theorizing, Huneke asks how queer theory can wed its critically anti-normative impulses to the empirical need ...
A Queer Year of Love Letters: Alphabets Against Erasure is a toolkit for writing and remembering queer and trans histories.

In ...
A unique blend of travelogue, photographs and poetry, A Stranger’s Pose draws the reader into a world of encounters haunted by the absence of home, estrangement from a lover and family tragedies. The author’s recollections and reflections of fragments of his journeys to African cities, from Dakar to Douala, Bamako to Benin, and Khartoum to Casablanca, offer a compelling and very personal meditation on the meaning of home and the ...
Each composition in Sholeh Asgary’s electro-acoustic album آبـان (Aban) moves the listener through a series of unpredictable atmospheres, where tonal and sonic events erupt from sustained and reverberating textures. The album’s pulsating colors are punctuated by shifting timbres, moments of silence, and Asgary’s voice, which appears both human and ghostly—fragments of wailing and singing emerge from an adjacent world. Informed by Iranian cosmologies, آبـان (Aban) is engrossing and gratifying with ...
Innovation. Meritocracy. The possibility of overnight success. What’s not to love about Silicon Valley?
These days, it’s hard to be unambiguously optimistic about the growth-at-all-costs ethos of the tech industry. Public opinion is souring in the wake of revelations about Cambridge Analytica, Theranos, and the workplace conditions of Amazon workers or Uber drivers. It’s becoming clear that the tech industry’s promised “innovation” is neither sustainable nor always desirable.
Abolish Silicon Valley is ...
