Spike #80 The State of the Arts

Spike Art Magazine, founded in 2004, is a place for criticism and unconventional ideas, mixing writing on themes urgent and forever unresolved, from Web3 and After Beauty to Plants and Patriarchy. As a print quarterly, a digital broadside, and an event space, Spike offers a soapbox to cultural critics and literary essayists to chronicle our time in thought. Spike is also visually splashy, by turns pushy, poetic, unexpected and not shy to start an argument. Published quarterly by the artist Rita Vitorelli, Spike is one of the last remaining independent art magazines.
