Dear friends,
However much previous iterations may have joyfully detoured, escaping the suggestion of an introduced preoccupation, slipping into other orbits, we did not enter into this issue with a central theme. #19's prefered entry into this nominally new decade is with a de-centred face, including a slight shift/glitch in our format that's been around since Henrik and Nikola set re-start on the magazine. Borrowed from the new or old, or projecting an altogether non-face, this might be a mask if we're to take Jack Smith's lead. If it has organs that better sense the world around it differently, these might be submerged, sensing other spaces, as Nora Schultz's cover and contribution reminds us. Swimming throughout these pages, fragments of surfacing whales; make contact with a conversation between women who talk about women; confront the social deviations of a (dis)behaving inside outsider; locate the violence of a cage designed for a worker's optimized productivity from a distance... & even senses a lamenting allegory about dogs in a desert without language. Before returning to what lies beneath the surface, leaving it for the activities of painters and poets.
