Well-crafted narratives are meaningful and useful but by no means definitive. If art-making at its core is a means of communication, the artists in this issue experiment with porous, vaporous, swarming narratives, modeling how we might tell our own stories by more expansive means. Articles on David Horvitz and the role of artist estates, how contemporary artists are using equine imagery to new ends, and Dawoud Bey’s photo series "Night Coming Tenderly, Black." Plus, a conversation with multimedia artist Alison O’Daniel about the role of sound in her new film "The Tuba Thieves." Reviews of Olga Balema, Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola, “Wayfinding,” Chase Biado, Lauren Halsey, and Francesca Gabbiani.
