Q/A RÓZSA FARKAS
Has Instagram killed the exhibition review?

PORTRAIT KAREN KILIMNIK
There is something enigmatic about her theatrical installations. With paintings, readymades, sculptures, drawings and videos, they draw the viewer into a world of glitter, horror, stars and victims, but we never know who it belongs to. By Barry Schwabsky

PORTRAIT VIRTUAL REALITY
Virtual reality is still in its infancy. It has a long way to go until we can tease out its potential, and this is exactly what makes so ripe for artistic interrogation. Ben Vickers on the forgotten history of the newest medium, virtual reality.

INTERVIEW ANDROS ZINS-BROWNE
The choreographer spoke to Asad Raza about dance and exhibitions, the process of “de-hearsal”, and how Metallica and Shakespeare shook up his sense of time and space.

INTERVIEW BRIGITTE KOWANZ
The sculptures the artist started making in 1980s Vienna stand in stark contrast to Actionism and monumental sculpture. Her medium is light, and in her most recent neon works the digital plays an increasingly important role. By Maximilian Geymüller

Q/A EMILY PETHICK
Are talks, workshops, and events more important today than classical exhibitions?

ESSAY
What are the exhibition spaces of the future? Hybrid museum buildings, domestic spaces that defy our transparent, commercialised world, or the urban fabric itself? Alessandro Bava on the rediscovered relevance of architecture and the desire for real experience.

MEDIA
The New York Times virtual-reality app takes Rob Horning to deep space, to the front lines in Falluja or to artist's studios. But once he has stepped inside these worlds, it's not clear what you he supposed to do there.

MEDITATION
Why don't we leave the white cube and imagine the exhibition as a global nervous system with lots of entrances and exits? By Valentinas Klimašauskas

MUSIC
Rave still holds the problematic promise of total immersion. By Nora Khan
