POST-DESIRE LAND

This winter issue of Flash Art delves into the essence of desire in today’s context, and explores what it means to be an artist in the United States at this moment.

With terms like “brat” and “demure” being used to describe various lifestyles, we are prompted to consider what a new understanding of desire might look like.

Following Shumon Basar’s concept of “endcore,” which captures the anxiety that social media, alarming news, and tumultuous historical moments have instilled in our society, we ask ourselves: Is desire still something we yearn for?

For this issue, we invited artists working in different media to aphorize the idea of desire or anti-desire.
