INDETERMINATE
This Week From The Editor

Amidst an ongoing hum of uncertainty, many contemporary creative practices continue to adapt, pushing boundaries of form and content into new spaces and languages. This week, we look at projects that could be considered 'indeterminate', a charged descriptor offered by Ghanaian artist Elolo Bosoka to refer to his mobile practice comprising works across artistic mediums.

In the United Kingdom, a group exhibition exploring how contemporary artists push the boundaries of textile and fibre-based arts reveals the potential to rethink narratives of a field left amorphously on the margins of art history, largely due to gender and labour prejudices. Across the globe, our coverage of the Lahore Biennale 2024 poignantly delves into the

indeterminate future that the climate emergency foretells.

Turning to discourses in architecture, we speak with Nikolas Hirsch, director of CIVA in Brussels, about 'pre-architecture' and the porous, often undefined line between everyday building and the discipline's utopian aspirations. We also look at the Tri Hita Karana Tower in Bali, which interweaves traditional, organic rattan on its surface and new technology, including an algorithmically driven AI art installation that changes nightly.

Together, these disparate global projects show the hopeful power of indeterminate mediums and otherwise riven moments.
