Artefields is a French-language newsletter of critical essays on visual arts, pairing close visual readings of individual works and exhibitions with questions about power, class and representation. Each issue focuses on a single artist or show, such as Akari Takenobu, Michaël Borremans or Mary Cassatt.
Long-form interviews and essays on contemporary art, indigenous and diasporic practices, and the politics of land, labor and displacement. Issues appear in multiple languages and are sold by street vendors who keep all revenue.
Ev Delafose writes long, dense gallery notes on contemporary art exhibitions, with a focus on painting, queer subjectivity and Black critical theory. Readers get theory-heavy close readings of specific shows, framed by philosophical concepts rather than news or listings.
Arcade is an arts publication from Koffler Arts in Toronto that publishes features, artist interviews and profiles tied to its exhibitions and the city's cultural life. Readers get reported, personal writing on contemporary art, experimental music and the conditions artists work in.
