REVIEW is a magazine. Now, we find ourselves at a crossroads of interpretation and creation. The act of review — of looking back, of scrutiny, of critical engagement — has never been more crucial, nor more contested. In an era where the boundaries between creator, critic, and consumer blur, we must ask: what is the role of criticism in shaping the trajectory of art? How do we navigate the torrential flow of images, installations, and interventions that constitute our visual culture? Contemporary art criticism finds itself in a paradoxical position. On one hand, it seeks to deconstruct the very foundations upon which it stands — questioning authorship, authenticity, and the nature of aesthetic experience itself. On the other, it must construct frameworks of understanding, offering footholds in the vertiginous climb toward meaning. Here, we see criticism not as a final judgment, but as an ongoing dialogue — a conversation between artist, artwork, critic, and audience that echoes through galleries, across pages, and into the ether. In our current aesthetic regime, we witness a resurgence of the sublime, not in its Romantic incarnation, but as vertigo — a simultaneous attraction to and repulsion from the incomprehensible scale of our networked existence. Let us approach with rigor and open-hearted receptivity. Let us be willing to be provoked, to have our assumptions challenged and our perspectives shifted. For it is in this willingness to engage, to truly review, that we participate in the ongoing creation of meaning. REVIEW offers a chorus of voices, each contributing to an ever-evolving discourse of our places in our world. In the end, to review is to see anew — to look again, to reconsider, to reimagine. It is an act of renewal. Don't just look at art; question how and why we look at all. To review is perilous, to emerge from the rubble of wisdom. It is to stand at the precipice of understanding, to fail between revelation and certainty.
