But why—a century after Dada and Surrealism's first systematic enquiries—does chance remain a key strategy in... More >>

Furthermore, we are as haunted by the failures of utopian enterprise as we are inspired by the desire to repair the failed and build the new. Contemporary art reflects this general ambivalence. The utopian impulse informs politically activist and relational ar... More >>
