Trebuchet is a biannual contemporary art magazine which dives deep into artists and their work to explain why it's good, rather than just tell you that it is.
Issue 17:
"The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where they live or a few feet away. It is always on their doorstep – Paul Strand
..and with that step, you’re away. Art is a journey. Whether a furtive glance through the Champagne stems of a private view, or a long acquaintance with a favourite piece. The element of art that most of us admire is that each shared moment should reveal something fresh, either in the piece or in ourselves. It is a step outside of the humdrum whether we visit a new place or rediscover the things around us. Art is also a matter of context, and one of the most rewarding things about travel is indulging in the tastes and cultures of others. Each artist might be said to create a consistent cultural aesthetic with their work, through colour, narrative and exclusions. Artworks contain codes, rules, definitions and borders, all framed by the understanding of a piece. What is it trying to say, to whom, and why? In this issue ofTrebuchetwe look at art that describes life with a sense of destination. A place to arrive at, to find yourself in distinction to somewhere else, an expected place but one that we hope will reveal something extraordinary, both in ourselves and through ourselves in what we discover there."
