PORTRAIT
DOROTHY IANNONE
The artist is best known for paintings celebrating the “ecstatic unity” of her relationship with the artist

INTERVIEW JOSEF STRAU
The artist spoke to Anna Gritz about deeply rooted behavioural patterns, subjectivity as a system, alternative economic models – and how in the end, although he hated it so much, art is what saved him.
