Neil wonders if museums have a future in Trump’s America. Sharmini Pereira considers the possibility that the only museums that matter are the ones that unsettle and create friction. And farid rakun of ruangrupa believes that museums must ‘drop their names, even mandates’ to escape their fate as collaborators in turning artmaking into a rat race. Also in this issue, Fi Churchman speaks to Tracey Emin about love; Mateus Nunes discusses Gê Viana’s work; Kristian Vistrup Madsen considers John Skoog and apocalyptic endings; Clive Chijioke Nwonka writes on the productive deployment of opacity.
