The Beauty Issue
The theme of 58.2 is the result of a panel discussion at the Perth Writer’s Festival in which a group including Dennis Haskell and Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery director, Dr Sally Quin, discussed the idea of beauty. Sally Quin contributes a conversation she conducted with three contemporary artists on the topic, including Pilar Mata Dupont, whose video installation is used as a basis for the cover design.
Guest edited by former editor Professor Dennis Haskell.
