About Us

Contemporary And (C&) is a dynamic platform for reflecting and connecting ideas and discourses on contemporary visual arts.

 

Contemporary And (C&) features and links important and multilayered work by cultural producers from the most various perspectives and contexts.

 

C& is a global, constantly growing network of voices.

C& brings complex topics into accessible formats.

 

Through language.

Through digitality.

Through encounters.

 

The C& Cosmos comprises content and projects happening online, offline and in-between:

 

C& Magazine

is published online in English and French, providing globally produced daily art news, features, essays, and interviews.

 

C& América Latina Magazine 

provides more online space for art criticism in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, with the aim of offering even wider insights into global artistic discourses.

 

C& Print Issues
come out twice a year, offering further access to the critical and in-depth content created by the C& network.It is mostly published on the occasion of biennials and further important cultural events in Africa, Europa, the US and Latinamerica.

 

C& Education 

offers free programs that take place physically across the world as well as online. They are an important part of growing networks and maintaining sustainable relationships:

 

C& Critical Writing Workshops
for young art writers happening in African, Latin American, US-American, and European cities since 2016. The idea is to discuss arts reporting and critical writing practice as well as to provide a safe space for freedom of expression.

and

C& Mentoring Program

invites young art writers from Africa and the Global Diaspora to establish a sustainable mentor-student relationship with senior arts writers.

 

C& Projects are initiatives such as

 

C& Center of Unfinished Business

a touring reading room which launched in 2017 with stops at internationally renowned art spaces and museums.

and

C& Commissions

where artists exclusively present digital works or exhibitions to be experienced on Contemporary And (C&) for the first time.

 

Contemporary And (C&) embodies various ways of reflecting on as well as starting discourses that move beyond the idea of centers and beyond singular histories and presents.
