February Issue Prompt:
TOUCH
The body is that which gives rise to existence. It is the very plasticity of expansion, of extension according to which existences take place. -- Jean-Luc Nancy, Corpus
When the visual dominates within mass culture, touch is often dismissed. However, touch, or haptics, are always implicated in the experience and conception of space. How are specific sites, spaces, works, and their tangents experienced as touch?
We invite potential contributors to use this nuance as a point of departure, expanding on this conversation through both written and visual works.
