ABSTRACT The collision of constructivist artistic practice and structuralist philosophy was showcased in the journal Form, published from 1966 to 1969 out of Cambridge, England. Concrete poetry flourished alongside kinetic art; architecture dissolved into environmental design; experimentation with new media techniques replaced expressions of meaning. This essay describes how the editorial work that brought Form into being served to gather disparate strands into a shared disciplinary agenda that marks an apotheosis of 1960s visual art.

ABSTRACT The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson recounts the story of a man divided against himself, oscillating between two identities – one decent (named Jekyll) and one wicked (named Hyde). This short essay by Christian Bök examines the transitions that occur in the narrative, when the proper names shift from one moniker to the other in reference to the protagonist: each name vying for ‘citation’ in the story, thereby attempting to predominate, as a signifier, throughout the course of events. The narrative (perhaps coincidentally) maintains an almost equal usage of these two names, as if preserving an equilibrium of tensions between their contrarian identities, balancing them almost perfectly, giving each character 100 chances to be mentioned. The form of the story thus seems to perform the idea of eponymic division, indicated within the plot.
ABSTRACT 罗伯特-路易斯-史蒂文森（Robert Louis Stevenson）所著的《杰基尔博士和海德先生的奇事》讲述了一个人自我分裂的故事，他在两种身份之间摇摆不定--一个正派（名为杰基尔），一个邪恶（名为海德）。克里斯蒂安-伯克（Christian Bök）的这篇短文探讨了叙事中出现的转换，即主角的专有名词从一个转换到另一个：每个名字都在故事中争夺 "引用 "权，从而试图在整个事件过程中作为一种符号占据主导地位。叙事中（也许是巧合），这两个名字的使用率几乎相等，似乎在他们对立的身份之间保持了一种紧张的平衡，几乎完美地平衡了他们，每个人物都有 100 次被提及的机会。因此，故事的形式似乎在情节中体现了同名分割的理念。

ABSTRACT This piece separates various parts of a series of readymade archival image descriptions and relocates them into new, categorised spaces. With separation and relocation, the narrative of events apparent in the descriptions and in the album of photographs they define is de-emphasised (although the narrative can, in part, be re-built, due to archival systems of enumeration). The rules, conventions, tropes and repetitions of description writing are exposed in this piece, and this allows new connections to be made and imagined across the unseen images themselves.

Aaron Williamson, Larry Lynch
ABSTRACT This article takes the form of an interview, between performance artist and writer, Aaron Williamson, and the poet, artist and teacher, Larry Lynch. Talking across Williamson’s practice of the last three decades, and its compositional, conceptual, and contextual development, the conversation focusses on the situating of language and writing in, and around, a broad conception of performance. The discussion is further framed by Williamson’s experience as a d/Deaf person, a subject position that invigorates a radical socio-linguistic critique.

ABSTRACT Hanya Yanagihara’s critically acclaimed second novel A Little Life was published in 2015 and despite its length and disturbing thematic concerns soon became a bestseller. Yanagihara has laid her creative process bare in various interviews and has been open about the intermedial inspiration she has drawn from photography and painting. These sources provide an opportunity for the scholar to accurately and precisely trace how visual arts interact with the text before, during, and even after its conception. Critics predominantly responded to the novel about how comprehensively the author depicted child sexual abuse, violence, and trauma. The author merges generic conventions such as the Bildungsroman and fairy tale while constructing her plot and draws a significant amount of her inspiration from images. Seemingly contrasting affective impressions emanating from the images and the text converge in harmony and lead to an apt portrayal of the protagonist’s psyche and the reader’s ambiguous perception of his trauma. The article scrutinizes the use of photographs, paintings, and other visual material in the creative process of the novel in an ekphrastic mode both descriptively and non-descriptively, the latter to create a mood in the story rather than present a realistic depiction of the objects in question.
ABSTRACT Hanya Yanagihara 的第二部长篇小说《A Little Life》于 2015 年出版，尽管篇幅较长，主题令人不安，但仍广受好评，很快成为畅销书。柳原在各种访谈中袒露了她的创作过程，并公开了她从摄影和绘画中汲取的跨媒介灵感。这些资料为学者提供了一个机会，可以准确无误地追溯视觉艺术在文本构思前、构思中甚至构思后是如何与文本相互作用的。评论家对这部小说的主要反应是作者对儿童性虐待、暴力和创伤的全面描写。作者在构思情节时，融合了童话和童话故事等一般惯例，并从图像中汲取了大量灵感。图像和文字所产生的看似截然不同的情感印象和谐地交汇在一起，恰到好处地描绘了主人公的心理和读者对其创伤的模糊感知。文章仔细研究了小说创作过程中对照片、绘画和其他视觉材料的描述性和非描述性使用，后者是为了在故事中营造一种氛围，而不是对相关对象进行逼真的描绘。

ABSTRACT This article provides a critical introduction to a double issue of Journal of Visual Art Practice. The issue, titled ‘Situations of Writing’, explores the intersections of art practice, hybrid forms of writing, and knowledge production. It draws together a variety of contributions that variously delve into the complexities of writing with and around images, emphasising experimental approaches, and reimagining traditional scholarly publishing. This introduction situates the key problematics, drawing upon historical examples, but within the present-day context of academic, digital publishing. The editors urge practitioners to challenge conventional modes of academic writing, inviting makers, authors and readers to have a stake in an evolving landscape of art practice and visual culture studies. Setting out a combined exploration (and making) of form, content, and the structures of address, this special issue paves the way for new possibilities in scholarly research and knowledge dissemination.

ABSTRACT How can artistic interventions inform these photographs while both literally and proverbially ‘reframing’ them in an attempt to contribute to decolonial thinking? This journal contribution provides insight into a methodology of artistic research, based on Jacques Rancière's positioning of artistic practice, used to investigate a collection of photographs produced by a researcher collecting data in Sierra Leone in 1934. The photographs were produced in an unequal power relationship facilitated by colonial conditions. The historical pictures are reframed by expanding the individual photographic frame within the historical collection of photographs, and with present day stakeholders in Sierra Leone.
ABSTRACT How can artistic interventions inform these photographs while both literally and proverbially 'reframing' them in a attempt to contribute to decolonial thinking?这篇期刊论文以雅克-朗西埃（Jacques Rancière）对艺术实践的定位为基础，深入探讨了艺术研究的方法论，用于研究 1934 年在塞拉利昂收集数据的研究人员制作的一组照片。这些照片是在殖民条件促成的不平等权力关系中制作的。通过扩大历史照片集中的个人摄影框架，并与塞拉利昂当今的利益相关者合作，重新构建了历史照片。

Ed D’Souza, Sunil Manghani
ABSTRACT This article presents an interview with artist Jitish Kallat, on the occasion of his curation of the exhibition, Tangled Hierarchy (2 June–10 September 2022), at the John Hansard Gallery (UK); and later staged at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India (13 December 2022–10 April 2023). The focal point of the exhibition are five brief notes written by Mahatma Gandhi on the backs of old envelopes, which Kallat viewed in the Archives of the University of Southampton. Penned on 2 June 1947, as a means of communication with Lord Mountbatten despite Gandhi undertaking a vow of silence, the envelopes pertain to the imminent partition of the Indian subcontinent. Opening on 2 June 2022, so marking 75 years of the momentous meeting, Tangled Hierarchy presented a carefully curated display of historically and geographically diverse contributions; establishing a complex, layered reading of histories, perspectives and meanings.
