GLEAN 8

Glean 8 is here: From Jack Whitten’s artistic legacy to the poetic activism of Cecilia Vicuña,
this summer issue explores art as resistance, care, and cultural memory. Guest editor Johan
Grimonprez brings new perspectives on his film Soundtrack to a Coup d’état alongside voices
of In Koli Jean Bofane, Max Pinckers & Victoria GonzalezFigueras.
Glean 8 weaves together interviews, critical essays, reviews, and artist profiles under a broad
canopy of artistic legacy, cultural witness, and ethical attention to fragility. It spans
geographies—Brussels, Kinshasa, Paris, Peru, Lisbon—and mediums: painting, photography,
performance, documentary and archival practice.
Further: Agnès Varda’s photography at Musée Carnavalet, Magical Realism at Wiels, Paris
Noir at Centre Pompidou Paris, Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel at Z33 and a city report on
Lisbon. As always Glean provides you with a series of book recommendations: a presentation
of Sanam Khatibi’s library, QUOTED & NOTED with excerpts from a first monograph on
Miyoko Ito, reflecting on her life and art and a list of reading tips by Pépite Blues for your
further summer reading, exploring themes of vulnerability and Black
existentialism—featuring ao Sylvia Wynter’s On Being Human as Praxis.
