Mousse #84
The issue of Mousse explores language, resistance, memory, and institutional critique across diverse registers—from scholarly essays to fiction and visual interventions.
The Opinions section opens with Pablo Larios’s sharp analysis On Jargon, while Cally Spooner continues her ongoing series A Hypothesis of Resistance with a performative lecture on “undetectability.” In the Survey section, Mrinalini Mukherjee’s textile-based sculpture is revisited through multiple lenses, including Skye Arundhati Thomas’s poetic reflection on movement and trace.
Two monographic essays examine recent video works by Peng Zuqiang and the legacy of Lee Lozano, with Travis Jeppesen focusing on embodiment, memory, and gaze, and Amelia Jones interrogating tools and selfhood in Lozano’s conceptual practice. The Fiction section features an excerpt from Johanna Hedva’s novel Your Love Is Not Good, while the Visual section presents Angharad Williams’s photographic work Cars in conversation with Maurizio Cattelan.
Additional highlights include: – Archiving Unhappiness, Ana Teixeira Pinto on Sara Ahmed’s feminist philosophy – I’m with Fantasy, a critical essay by Kerstin Stakemeier – A reprint of Ian Stevenson’s unusual text on reincarnation, with a foreword by Lawrence Abu Hamdan – A Stuttering Institution, Kabelo Malatsie on curating beyond coherence.
