LEFT CURVE
Left Curve is an artist-produced journal that addresses the problem(s) of cultural forms emerging from the crises of modernity that strive to be independent from the control of dominant institutions and free from the shackles of instrumental rationality. Our orientation is premised on the recognition of the destructiveness of commodity systems to all life, and the need to build a culture that could potentially create a more harmonious relationship among people, and between the human and natural world. We encourage open, critical, defetishized work that attempts to unravel, reveal contemporary (inner/outer) reality.

“We have to organize a new trend in politics beyond the law of places and the centralization of power… a form of action where the political existence of everybody is not separated from its being, a point where we exist in so intense a fashion that we forget our internal division. Doing so we become a new subject. Not an individual, but a part of a new subject.” —Alain Badiou |

"...until a completely new politics--that is, a politics no longer founded on the exceptio of bare life--is at hand, every theory and praxis will remain imprisoned and immobile, and the 'beautiful day' of life will be given citizenship only either through blood and death or in the perfect senselessness to which the society of the spectacle condemns it." -- Giorgio Agamben |
