Black Mirror: Issue 0 - Territory
Black Mirror is a peer-reviewed series that seeks to examine ways in which the occult and the esoteric have been at the heart of art practice now and throughout the modernist period. It is produced by a group of artists and researchers and much of the work examined will be practice-led. Hence this volume includes both essays on contemporary and modernist work, and new works by artists. This first volume explores the contested territories of both the arts and the esoteric, which are inhabited by artists, occult practitioners and academics alike.
