Spike
"Founded by the artist Rita Vitorelli in 2004, Spike is a contemporary art magazine, online platform and event space. The flagship print magazine Spike Art Quarterly is aimed at sustaining a vigorous, independent and meaningful art criticism. Essays by leading critics and curators are complemented by other formats offering room for polemics, meditations, and short answers to urgent questions. Published four times a year, Spike offers its readers both intimacy and immediacy through an unusually open editorial approach that is not afraid of controversy and provocation. The event space Spike Berlin has become known for heated round-table discussions and high-profile talks, while Spike Online features up-to-the-minute reports, interviews, and photo essays from around the world."

“Erase the traces”
The viral Internet is a rabbithole where the truth goes to die. Some of us want to be seen and others don’t. In this issue we feature a selection of contemporary archetypes, among them the refugee, the one-percenter, and the thief. Dean Kissick investigates microcelebrity, Armen Avanessian wonders whether we are actually all sleepers. In the lead essay, Barbara Casavecchia explores artistic precedents for a culture of reduced visibility, secrets, silence. Nina Power writes about what it means to be a feminist today. Also: Hans-Jürgen Hafner on what it takes to "get" Arnulf Rainer's work, Suzanne Cotter talks to Tenzing Barshee about Trisha Donnelly, an interview with Nathalie Du Pasquier, and much more. This issue is dedicated to Bertolt Brecht's advice: "Erase the Traces!“
