Flash Art No.347

Published since 1967, Flash Art is dedicated to writing and thinking about contemporary art.

The theme this Summer 2024 issue? BACKDROP EFFECT; a look at ‘how art can foster a restorative process that benefits both artist and audience, creating a symbiotic relationship of empowerment and personal growth.’ On the covers, it's fashion designer Bárbara Sánchez-Kane and artist Lu Yang, with more cover stories on Judy Chicago, Brook Hsu and Peter Shire inside.

Plus, Whitney Mallet (of Pin-Up and The Whitney Review) on Diamond Stingily, a dispatch from the 60th Venice Biennale, and the latest iteration of the ‘Letter from the City’ insert—a poignant piece by Ghislaine Leung on loss and motherhood.
