Spike is turning 20! Our celebration is a special two-in-one issue that re-ups the magazine’s founding wager: to make sense and shape of our now as it unfolds.

So, what does it mean to do culture post-cool? Spike 81/82 begins with cultural protagonists in Berlin, Vienna, and New York piecing together momentous changes in the magazine’s home cities, before founding publisher Rita Vitorelli narrates running the mag as an artist to Dean Kissick, underscored by reprints of seminal essays by the likes of Chris Kraus and Bruce Hainley. A new generation of critics look into tech billionaires reducing life to a spreadsheet; video games escaping back into reality; Taylor Swift’s disarming lameness; white-cube presentations of slot machines and the choreographic turn.

Plus! A poster details art’s flashbulb moments since 2004. And if that weren’t enough, there’s hot new merch and two very special artist editions soon to follow.

With Rita Vitorelli, Dean Kissick, Rose Wylie, Forensic Architecture, Amalia Ulman, Martin Herbert, Milo Rau, Brian Dillon, Jeppe Ugelvig, Calla Henkel, Martti Kalliala, Adina Glickstein, Ivo Dimchev, Maria Hassabi, Gisela Capitain, Travis Diehl, Bibiza, Whitney Mallett, Steven Phillips-Horst, Tea Haċić-Vlahović, and more …

What does it mean for politics, Omer Fast queries, when we can no longer distinguish between masks and real faces? The Israeli video artist’s new film, “Abendland” (Occident), follows one activist into a breakaway woodland commune, where eerie disguises unsettle the distinction between resisting violence and enacting it.

Premieres 4 Dec at Rollberg Kino, Berlin. In select theaters Germany-wide from 5 Dec.

On Friday, 15 November, Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, opens Louise Bonnet’s “Reversal of Fortune,” a solo exhibition of new oil paintings on linen and paper, in their gallery at Potsdamer Straße 77-87. It runs until 18 January 2025.

Internationally renowned for her emotionally charged depictions of the human form in unusual, often exaggerated poses, Bonnet explores difficult feelings such as fragility, melancholy, loneliness, and grief in her new body of work, which revolves around the notion of falling.
