Art for All

ART GAMES & PLAYFULLNESS / ART IN EVERYDAY LIFE / EROTICS OF ART / ART FOR ALL / INTERACTIVE ART are just some of the buzzwords which became our inspiration while creating the issue. We will show that art can inspire you in your everyday life, that it can be attractive or even sexy. You will see that art is often present in your everyday life, you just may not realise it. We will talk to prominent artists — Gilbert & George and Martin Parr, Alicja Bielawska and Mariusz Tarkawian. We will discuss how artists are depicted in movies and how they present themselves on social media. We will reflect on the fine line between a private statement and an artistic creation, for example on Instagram. Our topics also include comic books and a new wave of fashion photography.
