Spike is a contemporary art magazine run by artist Rita Vitorelli. It is aimed at sustaining vigorous, independent, and meaningful art criticism.
In this issue: Nostalgia
Are we doomed to ever-shorter cycles of cash-cow retromania, until AI memory-wipes us with pure simulation? Or is the root problem of our anti-sentimentality actually the expectation that art “make it new,” itself just so much nostalgia for a long-gone modernism? We’re working out what the present owes to the past, if our goal is to conjure a better culture for tomorrow.
