In a sense, this issue is not just about breaking boundaries, but also changing what those boundaries are. It’s about redefining what a painting can be, what constitutes a photograph, and what qualifies as graphic design. For example, in an age where digital methods are used to imitate traditional, physical mediums, can we refer to these artworks using the same terminology (i.e. digital paintings), despite sharing only aesthetic similarities? Given the widely accepted usage of such terms, where do we draw the line? Are paintings, made digitally, using photographs, still paintings?
SWIM 03 - Changing Mediums
ORDER NOW!
Issue 03 explores how and why artists change mediums. From photographs by painters to paintings by musicians, this issue showcases work that signifies a shift in an artist’s practice. It also ventures deeper into the subject of the medium, investigating topics such as how mediums change over time, how one can be used to imitate and create another, and how the medium affects the message.
