Issue 42 of Afterall addresses the crisis of representation in
contemporary art through the work of Pierre Huyghe and Tania
Bruguera, reflecting on how they each intervene into biological and
political systems. We also put a spotlight on the contributions of
two lesser-known women artists Indonesian Arahmaiani and Egyptian
Inji Efflatoun and their capacity to speak truth to power in their
respective contexts. Finally, accompanying essays include Charles
Esche on Chinese artist Li Mu, Diedrich Diederichsen on political
art, and an interview with Walter Benjamin.

The Desert Turned to Glass is a place where the cosmic and chthonic
collide. Commemorating the centenary of the planetarium as an
architectural type, this book collects a new body of work by
acclaimed Canadian artist Charles Stankievech. Thematically, the
project explores alternative theories concerning the origin of
life, consciousness, and art—bridging the cosmological visions of
cave art and the modern technology of the planetarium. Richly
illustrated, the book pairs images of Stankievech’s installations
and cinematic works with newly commissioned writings by geologists,
exobiologists, philosophers and archeologists. Spanning the abyss
of space and the depths of the earth, The Desert Turned to Glass is
an epic meditation on origins, endings, and infinity.
