The board of nonsite.org announces the publication of issue 5: Agency and Experience (See table of contents, below)

In this issue Michael Fried, Ruth Leys, and Robert Pippin look at aspects of the relation between our agency–our actions, or emotions, our character–and our experience–of the world, of ourselves, of each other.

Two special features consider writing on cubism–Kevin Chua on Christopher Green and Lisa Florman on Clement Greenberg, Rosalind Krauss, Yve-Alain Bois, and T.J. Clark.

Thierry de Duve introduces the theme of nonsite.org‘s next issue–Intention and Interpretation–by raising an unavoidable question: what court is qualified to judge what line of interpretation to adopt?

Plus a review of The Affect Theory Reader and new poetry by Samuel Amadon and Maureen McLane.
