Third were the thematic issues — Issue 2.6 / Food and Issue 2.15 / Performance: The Body Politic — and the thematic features that unfolded over the course of the year: Bruno Fazzolari's conversation series investigating abstraction and the terms on which it is defined or negotiated in contemporary artistic practice; Elyse Mallouk's Landfill series, which triangulates with a print journal, quarterly subscription, and website, all of which archive and redistribute the materials produced by
socially engaged artworks; and Zachary Royer Scholz's series about the historical and contemporary
economic, political, technological, and cultural factors that shape the visual arts in the Bay
Area and its possibilities for the future.
