AA. VV., ART LICKS, 2020

In October 2010 Art Licks launched its printed magazine. This unique magazine is a pioneering, discursive space for the voice of artists and curators to sound out new and experimental ideas and projects. The Art Licks magazine is important as it offers support to young creatives at a critical point in their career.

In 2020, as one becomes ever-immersed in a technicolour landscape of digital technology, we feel it is significant that the use of Black & White as a lens for representation and experience is not diminishing. Through the magazine, invited contributors will investigate the use of Black & White as a lens, a filter, and an eye in contemporary visual culture. The aim of the project is to interrogate the use of B&W and grayscale in lens-based media.
