Interviews 1-10

This collection features an introduction by Lauren O’Neill-Butler and includes interviews with Matthew Barney, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, and Michael Taussig, each rethinking Bataille’s L'informe through the lens of contemporary art, theory, and politics.

A roundtable with Bruce Hainley, Ruba Katrib, and November’s editors explores how formlessness intersects with technology, gender, disease, and race. Aria Dean makes a case for Black Bataille, examining its disruptive potential, while reflections on catharsis consider the limits of excess, resistance, and transformation in culture today.
