It examines how images of conflict are politically shaped before they reach us on social media. It's a timely question and one this magazine is well-placed to ask. We also kept coming back to the conversation with Eric Baudelaire. The Franco-American filmmaker's focus on remembering revolutionary movements from the past feels quietly urgent. The Duchamp feature is worth a look too. It makes a case for his continued relevance without falling back on received wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho's \u003cem\u003eArt Monthly\u003c\/em\u003e for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt Monthly\u003c\/em\u003e is one for when you want criticism rather than coverage.

Beyond the immediate conflict, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is shown to be threatening indigenous communities and accelerating environmental damage. The question of how art responds to that is handled without easy answers. Less geopolitical but just as considered, the information vs experience piece is also worth a look.

It asks whether art and imagination can survive in a culture that prices out those who need it most. Equally pointed, the free speech feature uses Salman Rushdie's attack as its starting point rather than an abstraction. The rights and responsibilities it unpacks feel less theoretical for it. The Claes Oldenburg obituary is also worth finding. One of American pop art's defining figures, his passing deserved a proper send-off and it gets one here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho's \u003cem\u003eArt Monthly\u003c\/em\u003e for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt Monthly\u003c\/em\u003e is one for when you want criticism rather than coverage.
