In this Issue Winter 2025 Quarterly #232

In an era where the digital realm overtakes the cognitive landscape and humanity seems on the brink of a renaissance, the paradox of futurism intertwined with remnants of the past remains more alive than ever. 

Artists like Amanda Ba and Clayton Schiff dive into the contradiction, crafting visions where clarity and obscurity dance between what is and what was. Anthony Cudahy's latest works, a vivid dialogue between memory and foresight, capture this sentiment beautifully. Through his depictions, we see figures that hover like ethereal spirits—tethered to history yet yearning for the uncharted future. His brushstrokes whisper a bygone era, refracted through the prism of contemporary consciousness in eerie yet familiar resonance.

Anastasia Bay, a painter of art historical origins and a contemporary voice, conceived her latest work as an opera, with music and costumes that evoke a timelessness of Black Mountain College-era collaborative performances between sound, sight and movement.
