Issue 3 features a focus on Maria Kozic, whose work has long unsettled the artworld’s uneasy relationship with pop culture. Articles by Gemma Topliss, Victoria Perin and Philip Brophy unpack the irreverent, uncompromising, and sometimes graphic logic of Kozic’s art, whose work refuses easy categorisation, forcing pop into stranger, darker territory.

There's also a special section on Art & Crime bringing together leading critics and artists confronting how stolen wages, incarceration, and colonial violence shape Australian art. 

This issue also features pieces on D Harding, Mark Rothko, Madonna Staunton, Sidney Nolan and many more. With contributions from Catherine Liu, Slavoj Žižek, Biddy Mahy, Penelope Jackson, Tristen Harwood, Isobel D'Cruz Barnes, Kate Meakin, Dana Kopel and others.
