This issue enacts the term 'model' in a variety of applications: the mere letter, the idea of literality, typography and terminology - shifting to portrait, shapes of the human to come, design and utopian ways of living.

It gives examples of Op-Art (Bridget Riley and Peter Sedgley), classical conceptualism (Hanne Darboven) as well as an updated understanding of performance (Genevieve White) and mind game installations (Paulo Bottarelli) ; finally there is a tribute to Sun Ra, the master of nonconformism.
