Next Spring: An Occasional Series of Reviews – Paris, May 16

"Next Spring” is an occasional series of reviews that offers a different approach to the writing of art criticism. Focused on the reading of one film work, each book in the series presents a parallel text on the artwork as both a critical response and literary production. The film selected and the text produced consider ecological issues, environmental concerns, and systematic revisionings.

The language of place is given priority and image reproductions used nominally. Paris, May 16, the pilot issue, includes writings by Clara Schulmann, Barbara Sirieix, and Jennifer Teets, as well as a visual essay by Scott Rogers on the invitation of Richard Frater. Edited by Laura Preston, with Alex Davidson and Sriwhana Spong. The second issue is a response to living in Athens during 2016–17.

Laura Preston writes, edits, and produces contemporary art projects.
