Penance is a textile work by Ann Vollum. Unlike other pieces within her portfolio, Penance is notably anti-commercial and even overtly aggressive, as opposed to her more consistently delicate tapestries and fiber installations conveying themes of subtle underlying macabre narratives and themes. With Penance, there is a dichotomy between Victorian lace aesthetics and post-apocalyptic materials, such as industrial nails integrated into the textiles and resting on a piece of pe

moving-image still of Body Line There are four moving-image projects by Mari Amman which ruminate on many complex interwoven themes such as solitude, mythology, Nietzschean philosophy, the feminine figure as nature (in a non-traditional sense), and the nihilism of digital technology. moving-image still of Body Line In Hercules’s Chalice, we can describe this as a moving-image on isolation of a barren landscape of wind, snow, and silence. Mari Amman’s conceptual narrative is b

The theatrical photography of Damira Tagaeva is profoundly unique and provocative. She conveys themes of witchcraft, sorcery, gothic and mafia-based narratives, erotica, arthouse playfulness, and rebellious vogue. Through carefully constructed and selected costume design, lucid directed acting, dramatic perspectives and compositions, provocative narratives and innuendos, careful lighting, and analogue digital tools, she creates a world rich in breaking the chains of the munda

She has a background in fashion design and is an expert in code-based computing and motion-graphics.

William Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is usually regarded as ‘classic’ literature, but the play was actually quite avant-garde during the Renaissance period when first premiered. Shakespeare broke the rules of conventional theatre at the time by combining a romance narrative with a tragedy. Before Romeo and Juliet, established theatre strictly divided these two genres and romance plays always ended up in marriage with a happy ending. In such a regard, The

The latest photography by Maksym Galyuk ranges from urban desolation to an illuminated winter wasteland to sensual and erotic play within the solitary alleys and bridges of Astoria.

Girl Tears. Analogue digital rendering by Masha Luch. Provocation and bursting the bubble of commonality is essentially what makes an artist experimental and avant-garde. As a result, there are few artists who can match the provocative levels of Masha Luch, both conceptually and literally. Masha Luch is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans moving-image, motion-graphics, photo collage, installation, textiles, printmaking, and book-making. With a background in fashion de

graphic-based installation by Meg Lewis Kennedy Malsch and Meg Lewis are two very different artists, but both represent the contemporary young avant-garde. With the work of Kennedy, she deals with fluxus photography which is usually analogue in practice with a unique gift to perfectly integrate her models seamlessly into nature, as if they were sirens lurking from the shadows of the forest. Meg Lewis, on the other hand, is an experimental graphic-based installation artist who

Hell is Here, and Sometimes I Rest Upon It is a two-part performance directed and performed by Mädchen Vivi. The performance conveys the concept of hell as a resting place to ruminate and liberate the self from the patriarchy. Consisting of two separately performed acts, Hell is Here, and Sometimes I Rest Upon It consists of Mädchen Vivi essentially in a hell-like safe-room ‘making love’ to a cigarette and a second part of Fedra Morini performing the same act within the disp

Ah, the grand mythology of the art historian, the ultimate arbiter of truth, the oracle of the arts. Well I have to burst your bubble, because contemporary art historians are not historians, they are in fact middle-men for the public relations arm of corporations, non-profit organizations, and various NGO’s. Not only are art historians not historians, they are not really genuine arts writers or authentic critics either, they are in fact essentially sociologists. Art historian

Environmental photographic installation by Michael Hanna. The Glass Enlightenment is a site-specific temporary installation which occurred in the middle of a forest, specifically Sawmill Trail in Brick Township, New Jersey. With a basis in institutional criticism, the installation questions social constructs such as status and power or the relevancy of institutions. The glass specifically is laid upon the open forest to create direct symbolism to nature. Glass can be made to

HEARTWORK is a moving-image performance by Fina Ferrara which delves on themes of emotion, memory, and transformation. The interdisciplinary performance incorporates elements of installation art, with Fina Ferrara turning herself and her dress as a living installation by placing real hearts, sewn with letters, to convey messages on ‘truth’ and ‘trust’. The moving-image performance was presented at Indra Gallery (London, 2025) as part of the PATHOS exhibition, as well as in th

The analogue photography of Alexandria Norado, especially the Deity series, are a romantic experimentation in mythology and contemporary portraiture. Utilizing both gels and fabric to diffuse her photos as well as portable LEDs to control lighting if needed, she creates dramatic scenes reminiscent of Shakespearean lore, titan mythology, such as Gaia within the forests, or even redefining urban portraiture. In the Deity series, these are softly illuminated outdoor scenes of m

Although the works of Won Ji Lim are technically interdisciplinary installations in physical form, they are more similar conceptually to performance in their temporary, unstable, mechanical, and provocatively interactive nature. What essentially these artworks exemplify is using the art of installation in not only unfamiliar practices, but also in methods which highlight states of psychological distress. In a world full of war, income inequality, cronyism, corruption, and soc

The tech-oligarchs and the current age of techno-feudalism we live in with technology determining every aspect of our discourse and the direction of society is disturbing. These oligarchs and tech-bros would like to have us believe anyone who opposes their fascist plutocratic agenda is backwards and doesn't understand the future. Well, the exact opposite is true, their construction of an over-arching surveillance-world which attempts to crush any dissent to the status quo rem

Raw Forests photographic assemblage series by Michael Hanna. I was considering publishing these forest-based photographic assemblages in the various publication opportunities available. However, since none of these periodicals I found online with open calls specialize in experimental art, I felt they would not be treated with as much recognition or care as they would if I just directly publish them in Point Pleasant Journal with Point Pleasant Publishing. I also feel the audi

This discussion regarding diaspora, connections to homeland, and migration is specifically in reference to Thai culture and the art of Natcha Wongchanglaw. As someone who has moved around Thailand for much of her life due to her father’s work, Natcha Wongchanglaw is well-versed on Thailand as a place. She does not experience severe homesickness but sometimes misses the easy-going vibes of Thai culture, being close to her mother, and authentic Thai cuisine. Thailand can be des
