In the articles that follow, we explore the issue’s main theme. Jennifer Rubell tells us about her journey from cooking school to critical art. With last year’s Turner Prize nominees Cooking Sections, we dive into the waters of salmon farming in Scotland. We discover the art of Rirkrit Tiravanija and his installations, which often take the form of stages or rooms for communal eating, cooking, reading or music. Speaking of multi-sensory experiences, it’s worth reading our interview with Felix Barrett, founder and artistic director of the extraordinary theatre company Punchdrunk.

Even in the 21st century, we are still discovering new species of animals living alongside us. We search for new forms of life in the universe and develop artificial intelligence, yet we lack empathy towards all creatures, including our smaller companions.  They are the main focus of the new issue of our magazine, in which we attempt to look at the world from a non-human perspective, and will focus on topics such as animal rights, the animal as a metaphor for human affairs, behaviours, states or the perception of animals by different cultures.

In this issue, you will find the first interview in ten years with Tino Sehgal, one of the most important artists in the world, whose work mainly focuses on the relationship between art and the viewer, and between movement and music. You will take a closer look at the work of a Moldovan artist Pavel Brăila, who has repeatedly presented his work at documenta and Manifesta, focusing on his national identity, capitalism, and post-communism. You will also read an interview with Agata Ingarden, winner of the first edition of Allegro Prize. In addition, you will be able to take a look into the daily work of designers Justyna Fałdzińska and Miłosz Dąbrowski, founders of the UAU project, and delve into the everyday life of the London community depicted in the largest painting by Dale Lewis. The world of Helmut Newton's fashion photography will be introduced by Matthias Harder, director of the Berlin-based Helmut Newton Foundation. The well-known French collector and patron of the arts, Antoine de Galbert, will talk about the creation of his extraordinary collection of over three thousand works.
There will also be issues related to communities created within the film and theatre industries. You will have a unique opportunity to read the script of Krzysztof Kieślowski's unrealised film ‘Shot of the Week,’ which is presented to the public for the first time. We will also take a closer look at theatrical scenography as an independent artistic field.
The first step into the discussion of the multi-layered meaning of our main theme is a playful collaboration on the cover — a colouring page, handcrafted by a British artist Paola Ciarska. The cover she created is a painting which shows the interiors of houses filled with furniture, decorations, and residents. As a fun fact, this meticulously refined picture has elements of interior design, of which our readers sent photos of to us in the initial months of 2021.

The economy and the financial crisis, the need for special measures, aid and social benefits to provide security — these terms all accompany daily updates about the pandemic. Let’s take a step back and calmly consider if such words are anything new in relation to the cultural sector. For this reason, we have decided to dedicate this issue of Contemporary Lynx Magazine to the economy of the art world.
In this issue, we ask artists about their financial situation, life insurance, and the contracts they sign with art galleries (or not). We also look at the vague aspect of the representation of female artists in the art world and analyse blockbuster exhibitions within museums, seen as sources of revenue, prestige and attendance figures.
We also invite you to look into the exquisite art collections of Castello di Ama and Ettore Molinario. And for those of you who wish to establish or work at a gallery, we have prepared an interview with Massimo De Carlo, the founder of a mega gallery bearing his name. This issue gives you a chance to delve into a survey of the art practice of Magdalena Abakanowicz, familiarise yourself with a series created by Stanislav Bříza, a Czech photographer portraying gentrification in London’s Hackney Wick. Get a sneak-peek into the studio of Mateusz Choróbski, whose work often addresses the poverty line in Poland, and have a closer look at the artistic practice of Simon Denny, who investigates the world of new technology, Bitcoin and the economy. The work and figure of Nedko Solakov, who designed our cover, is the beginning and end of this issue. 

Inside the magazine you will also find articles about:
–buying art during times of crisis;
–the price of contemporary art;
–economic survival in the art world;
–the city of chaotic charm – Kyiv.


Have you ever wondered what happiness is and how to achieve it? Amid the pandemic, the values we follow have completely changed. Today happiness might be as basic as returning to a lack of fear and suffering; restoring health. Happiness could be life itself. This issue revolves around such topics as the complexity of the concept and attempts to redefine it. In the magazine, you will find stories that matter and will stay with you for a long time.
As usual, we let the artist, designers and architects share with you their stories and experiences. You will have the opportunity to learn the creative credo of Peter Greenaway, have a closer look at the art of Shana Moulton, who offers an ironic take on the omnipresent reverence for the body and self-improvement in accordance with the contemporary mantra of capitalism. Together with photographer Michal Solarski, we look at his photography projects dedicated to the issue of leisure in post-Soviet countries. You will be able to participate in the daily routine of illustrator Ola Niepsuj and Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute (who is responsible for choosing the colour of the year), with whom we will talk about how colours affect our perception of ourselves and reality.
If you dream of working in a renowned art gallery, you should read the interview with Peppi Marchetti Franchi, a senior director with Gagosian and the founding director of Gagosian Rome. She will describe her career path and show step by step how she became the head of this legendary gallery.
The pressure of happiness, well-being and the relentless pursuit of aspirations dictated by ourselves or others also have an adverse impact on our health. Since mental health is still a taboo subject, we recommend you to read the essay ‘Burning Out in a World of Excess,’ which concentrates on artistic references to burnout, depression, confusion and inertia.


Have you ever wondered how to live in harmony with nature, how to avoid climate catastrophe? What can we do together to help save our planet? Increasing awareness of the climate crisis is crucial but changing our habits of a consumerist lifestyle is not that easy. This issue revolves around such topics as climate change, sustainability, biodiversity, living in harmony with nature, renewable energy, slow-fashion, zero-waste design, slow-living, and a greener future.

You will have the opportunity to enrich your knowledge and see these problems through the eyes of the artists, who use their talents and shape our surroundings. We will try to answer questions such as why it is so difficult to change our bad habits and how to be more eco-friendly. We will show you the portrait of the planet on the verge of disaster, and the post-apocalyptic visions of the artists. 

The issue features interviews with Erez Navi Pana, who talked about the potential of vegan design realised without the use of material derived from animals, and Robertina Šebjanič, who discussed a model for a better sustainable future with awareness of the animal world and aquatic ecosystem. We also present the statement of Olafur Eliasson and eco-activists such as Extinction Rebellion, John Gerrard and Justina Brice Guariglia. In addition to this, we will showcase the most innovative architecture designed in harmony with nature. Fashion enthusiasts will enjoy the article devoted to fast fashion alternatives. For all those who are more interested in the issues related to design, we recommend an article about the most current responsible zero-waste designs.
However, the first step into our discussion is the cover designed by Vadym Solowski, a nuclear power engineer who became a successful illustrator.
