Mousse Magazine – Issue #86

Mousse is a bimonthly magazine published in Italian and English. Established in 2006, Mousse contains interviews, conversations, and essays by some of the most important figures in international criticism, visual arts, and curating today, alternated with a series of distinctive articles in a unique tabloid format. Mousse keeps tabs on international trends in contemporary culture thanks to its city editors in major art capitals such as Berlin, New York, London, Paris, and Los Angeles.

Large-format Mousse gives a platform to international criticism of contemporary culture, commissioning essays and artwork each issue.

In addition to Criticism, Thinkers, Curators, Reprint, and Tidbits, this Autumn 2023 issue contains A Hypothesis of Resistance essay series by Cally Spooner, Survey of artist Donald Rodney, Fiction by Emily LaBarge, and two Monograph columns by Mitchell Anderson and Dora Budor respectively.
