Every year Border Crossings publishes a special issue on Painting. Disregarding the wrong-headed pronouncement concerning the death of painting, we find instead that the discipline is flourishing and that some of the liveliest contemporary conversations about art centre around the medium of pigment on canvas. In this issue we have a panoply of painting which includes conversations with and articles on:
Chantal Joffe, Tal R, Amy Sillman, Steve Martin on Lawren Harris, Cecily Brown, David Salle, Chris Cran, Melanie Authier, Allison Katz, Wanda Koop, David Alexander, Erica Mendritzki, Jennifer Carvalho
Exhibition reviews featuring Bruce Nauman, Stephen Andrews, Howard Hodgkin, Rashaad Newsome, Sarah Cale, Yinka Shonibare MBE, Barthélémy Toguo, Jock Macdonald, Matea Radic, Leslie Reid, Thaddeus Holownia, Graeme Patterson, Michael Williams and Elizabeth Zvonar.
