The first issue of KIOSK (published in 2007) displays a willingness to be political. Contributors tackle subjects such as the war in Iraq, global warming, AIDS in Africa, copyright, social responsibility, and dark tourism. We live in turbulent and challenging times. The critical practices of art, design and architecture have their part to play in them, and have a political responsibility to interrogate and generate our visual, material and spatial cultures, and the grey areas between them.

Constraint
Coming soon. We all feel constrained: by disciplinarity; by cultural convention and expectation; by technology; by media; by time. By institution. Art, design and architecture regard themselves as constrained by this or that, and create stuff that looks quite the reverse. Read these accounts of constraints accepted, overcome, embraced and rejected. Constraint can be good for you.
