The Bonart / Malart international magazine reaches its 2nd issue, marking a significant milestone in its journey as a platform for reflection and analysis on contemporary art. With a clear global vocation, this new issue is timed perfectly to coincide with ARCOmadrid 2026, one of the premier international art fairs. This timing not only enhances the magazine’s visibility but also underscores its commitment to exploring new geographies, contexts, and perspectives in the art world.
The latest issue is structured around two major editorial themes that collectively paint a comprehensive picture of the international art scene. Special emphasis is placed on Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, regions rich in artistic diversity and cultural narratives. Through a combination of reports, interviews, and analytical pieces, the publication captures pivotal moments, innovative projects, and dynamic trends that define contemporary art in these areas. This approach fosters connections between various cultural contexts, enriching the reader’s understanding of the global art landscape.
Among the standout features of this issue are monographs dedicated to significant upcoming events in the art world, such as the Venice Biennale and the Malta Biennale. These sections provide insights into the conceptual and artistic trajectories that are likely to shape international discourse in the coming years. Additionally, the magazine includes opinion articles, critical reports, and the Glops Biennial section, which collectively offer a rich tapestry of perspectives on current artistic happenings.
Two Covers, Two Looks
One of the most striking features of this issue is its dual cover design, which serves as a bold statement of the magazine’s intent. This innovative approach combines conceptual depth with visual impact, inviting readers to engage with the content on multiple levels.
The cover of Malart showcases an image from the exhibition A Shot in the Eye. The Century Blind’s Spot by Andreas M. Kaufmann, produced by Malpaís in Barcelona in 2023. This artwork provokes a critical examination of the blind spots that characterize our contemporary era, urging viewers to reconsider the visual and cultural narratives that dominate the 21st century.
In contrast, the cover of Bonart features the work Mà Connectada by artist Eulàlia Valldosera. This piece symbolizes the intricate relationship between the body, technology, and perception, encapsulating the ongoing dialogue about how these elements intersect in our modern lives. The visual representation on the cover not only attracts attention but also sets the tone for the discussions within the magazine.
