Dissect Journal is a new contemporary art publication that presents a range of longer essays, shorter reviews and artist pages.

If it is true that contemporary art both reflects and refracts an image of the world, as it is both of it and provides more of it, then attempts to address contemporary art must themselves be varied and complex. In the variety of material published within its pages, Dissect Journal seeks to reflect the manifold interconnections between contemporary art and the world.

Featuring both emerging and established contributors, the publication strives for a sustained and intelligent engagement with contemporary art. It aims to analyse and interrogate the work of contemporary artists from various vantage points, sculpting and refining multiple histories of and responses to contemporary art.

Dissect Journal 1

The first issue explores the ways in which contemporary art can interact with the urban landscape and inspire varied experiences of public space. The production of public space and public art entails an enquiry into the meaning of ‘public’, itself subject to debate.
