It's a quarterly bilingual publication with contributions from "art critics or philosophers, writers, footballers, artists, etc." marketed as "an essential tool for mapping the territories of contemporary art" (un complément essentiel pour saisir les enjeux de l'art contemporain). The Palais de Tokyo is known for its cutting-edge curation, and if PALAIS's editorials are on par with the museum itself, the magazine should be a worthwhile read.
The third issue to be released June 12 is dedicated to the oeuvre of Steven Parrino, whose work is currently on display at the museum. A feature called "Pirate Spectrality" addresses the modern image of a pirate (in a context not limited to the theater of the open seas) and the resurgence of skull and crossbones motifs in fashion. Razmig Keucheyan writes, "Could this reemergence be regarded as a symptom of a transition phase and a new hegemonic decline?" Oh my.
