ESSAYS

BRASÍLIA AT MIDNIGHT by Silas Martí
Latin America’s powerhouse has buckled, and with startling speed. Seventy years of progress and downfall have taught Brazil’s artists about survival—but this crisis may derail the country for good

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME by Sam Kriss
The world’s biggest architecture prize went to a builder of social housing; more strangely, Britain’s biggest art prize did too. It’s easier to celebrate usefulness than aesthetics, but is it better?

DANCING IN CHAINS by Jarrett Gregory
Lovers make the best executioners. Jordan Wolfson’s distressing robot stares us down with his menacing eyes, and endures a punishment all too familiar


INTERVIEWS
Kaari Upson
Ian Cheng


REVIEWS

I Churning Mumbai, commanding Beijing, glitzy Seoul: The century is being redrafted in the world’s new eastern capitals. Their metastatic growth is something Rembrandt would recognize
by Kanishk Tharoor

II Do it for yourself. Two secretive artists, one Swedish, one Indian, trouble the history of abstraction. Are we dismantling the canon, or just voting on new members?
by Zoë Lescaze

III In fraught, uncertain Istanbul, galleries and artists face an autocratic government and crowdsourced censorship. Depicting Turkey’s woes sometimes means looking past its borders
by H.G. Masters

IV Once French theory was dogma; now it’s just another meme. The photographs of a perplexing philosopher resurface by the Staples Center
by Travis Diehl


PORTFOLIO
Pilar Mata


Even is a new magazine that interprets contemporary art, its structures and its environment. Published three times a year, Even features long-form articles that range from monographic studies to broad critical analysis; distinctive reviews that take in multiple exhibitions at museums and galleries worldwide; and extensive interviews with artists and arts professionals.

Even seeks to break the deadlock between academic obscurantism on one side, and top-ten lists and party coverage on the other. With a unique and legible voice, Even revives the tradition of criticism for the twenty-first century.
