History & Ecology:<br>The June / July Issue

In order to understand the past and present, it’s important to look at some of the key turning points in human history – from the use of fire and the development of agriculture to the printing press and the internet. Now, we find ourselves in a new era defined by artificial intelligence. In this issue we bring you artists who ask us to look at the natural world anew. Here is a preview of the June / July 2023 edition.

Shaping the Future | Portraits by Sarfo Emmanuel Annor express the joyful hopes, dreams and stories of youth in the artist’s home city of Koforidua, Ghana.

Glacial Topography | Stark documentations of polar regions critique the extent of human intervention on landscape, urging unification with the natural environment.

Unseen Landscapes | Photographer and keen explorer Cody Cobb presents Spectral, a collection demonstrating luminescence and a parallel world after dark.

Bursting with Colour | Wall of Nature unfolds like stills taken from a psychedelic daydream, flooding the page with strong pink, bright orange, green and purple.

Aquatic Exploration | Diver Alexej Sachov documents a new species of marine creature: the result of chance collisions between plastic pollutants in the deepest seas.

Deep in the Forest | Desk lamps nestle amongst lush green foliage and climb up tall trees in Rune Guneriussen’s compelling collection of magical installations.

Dynamic Expression | Djeneba Aduayom’s multidisciplinary artwork considers fragile contradictions within nature whilst studying human emotion and behaviour.

Sensory Technology | The Beams’ first contemporary exhibition is an immersive experience informed by technology’s ability to encourage complex, visceral emotions.

Visual Revolution | Ori Gersht’s historically-charged still lifes collide with artificial intelligence in uncanny images that question the boundaries of reality and existence.

Crafting Atmosphere | Rich imagery by Cristina Coral brings colour theory to our attention, occupying rows of green seating and heavy red velvet curtains.
