Nothing Pure
The Autumn 2023 edition of Sluice magazine is guest-edited by IMT
The theme of this edition is an embracing of themelessness. Not as indifference, even in the way that John Cage or Duchamp embraced indifference, but as a very contemporary necessity: a themelessness that is born out of live-work invasions, the distractions of the digital, the increasing awareness of neurodivergence and other rejections of narratives of purity.
The contributors to this edition of the magazine are each producers of things that evade purity. We all are of course, but these are, I think, great examples of those who do so against the attempts that discourse makes to advocate for the pure. A magazine is a basic communication formula, but this one, as an art magazine made by artists, is also trying to be a container for things that seep beyond the confines of imposed structures. Survival is at stake. These are representations of people. This is nothing pure. A moderate breeze among light clouds.
