The seventh volume of Auckland Art Gallery’s own journal of art and culture looks at contemporary art’s relationship with the wider world. Contributors were invited to consider the theme of “Risk”, and respond to questions such as: Why should we look to art for traction within this state of affairs? How do the experiences offered by artworks relate to the risks scientists and politicians exhort us to heed? How does art's role in inducing reflection - in taking risks, in exposing audiences to experiences that feel risky - relate to the task of effective action?
