Portrait
Otto Muehl
Can you separate an artist and their work? What if their life is itself an artwork? In the early 1970s Otto Muehl founded a commune that defied social norms and declared it a revolutionary artwork. About a failed experiment and what it can tell us about our own time. By Alison Gingeras & Jamieson Webster
Meditation: Outrage Inactivism
The free market of ideas is particularly insidious in that it veils our own ability to choose whether or not to conchie the hell out of the information wars at all. By Ella Plevin
Portrait
Sandra Mujinga
Sandra Mujinga plays with economies of visibility and disappearance. The traditional identity politics of presence is reversed in order to operate out of hidden realms. If everything is surveilled, the biggest potential lies in not being seen. By Jeppe Ugelvig

Statements
Where do we stand in Europe today, as it drifts further and further to the right? We asked cultural figures from four countries about the influence of the political right on the arts. By Schorsch Kamerun,
Karol Radziszewski, Eva Blimlinger and Gergely Nagy
Field Note
What does it look like on the streets today when democratic elections take place in the centre of Europe, on the right edge of its Union? On politics in public space in Hungary. By Róza El-Hassan
Essay: Love Removal Machines
Neoliberalism turned a hard-won freedom into a duty and everybody became an artist. If, in 1968, breaking with the family was a prerequisite to living as one wished, fifty years later it is back with redoubled force. Through highways and byways, we have come full circle. By Rob Horning
Q/A Yewande Omotoso
Why #MeToo?
Interview Marianna Simnett
Marianna Simnett pushes her body to the limit – hyperventilating until she faints or injecting Botox into her vocal cords. Her films are about the complexities of gender, contamination, robot cockroaches, cosmetic manipulation, sworn virgins, and Freudian experiments. By Ella Plevin
Music
The past few years have seen the rise of a generation of young rappers who are as surreal as the time from which they have emerged. These figures are like collective hallucinations: they might be amazing or they might be terrible, but all of them are weird. By Dean Kissick

Édouard Glissant fight for?
Architecture
The architects Gins and Arakawa dedicated their lives to immortality. Their designs and buildings force people to develop new behaviours and to change their bodies until one day they no longer need to die. By Elvia Wilk
