Fillip 7 – This new edition of Fillip covers the resurgent growth and implications of collectivity-based art production. Fillip 7 includes writing on contemporary and historical art collectives such as the Turin-based group Lo Zoo and the Collective Foundation from San Francisco. Collectivism After Modernism, an important new book on the subject of group-driven art practices is reviewed. The issue features an essay on participation beyond models of consensus, and looks at a provisional curatorial project with young aboriginal women in Southern British Columbia.
Lawrence Weiner and Liam Gillick are interviewed, and reviews of biennales and exhibitions are included. Fillip 7 contains poster projects by Paul Chan and Kristan Horton. Dan Starling inaugurates the Fillip Index project.
