Flash Art #335 Summer 2021

In this issue, writer and philosopher Federico Campagna, in a surprisingly conversation with Andrea Bellini about the end of the world, explains that a world is a “‘likely story’ about reality” and that “after a while, each cosmological narration exhausts its narrative cycle and it comes to an end.” According to Campagna, each of us go through several “ends of the world.” Spanning from these reflections we titled the issue Cultural Apocalypses dedicating our cover story to Cao Fei, one of the most farsighted artists on the international scene which discusses here her explorations of worlds both real and virtual with Daniel Birnbaum, Hou Hanru, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, and Philip Tinari.
