The texts that accompany them disappear along with the news feeds that carried them. What is not documented eventually drops out of art history. Reg\u2019Art was born of this observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A magazine, not a news feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reg\u2019Art is an independent magazine and curatorial space dedicated to contemporary African art. Rooted in Kinshasa, it develops a sovereign visual thinking and builds a reference archive of the major figures of Africa and its diasporas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reg\u2019Art ne commente pas l\u2019art, elle en documente la m\u00e9moire et la valeur d\u2019autorit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This stance has concrete consequences. Every artist published has a lasting profile, with their biography, works and labels. Every text places the works within a lineage, rather than reducing them to an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four ways of reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The magazine is organised into four sections. <strong>Empreinte<\/strong> follows archives, artistic lineages and the documentation of visual memory. <strong>Regard<\/strong> thinks through visual language via studio chronicles, art spaces and close readings of works. <strong>Rencontre<\/strong> opens dialogues and intersecting perspectives with the artists, curators and thinkers of the contemporary scene. <strong>Figure<\/strong>, finally, offers in-depth studies of an artist\u2019s approach, influences and output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Kinshasa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une lecture de la cr\u00e9ation contemporaine africaine depuis la sc\u00e8ne kinoise. Ce point de vue est une  m\u00e9thode qui permet de regarder les \u0153uvres de Lagos, de Nairobi ou de la diaspora avec les questions d\u2019ici, et de rappeler que les centres de l\u2019art ne se d\u00e9cr\u00e8tent pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artistes, curateurs ou chercheurs, la r\u00e9daction lit chaque proposition. Pour soumettre votre travail, envoyez un dossier PDF comprenant 4 \u0153uvres au plus (pr\u00e9cisant titre, dimensions et m\u00e9dium), une biographie ainsi qu\u2019un texte d\u2019intention.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of contemporary African art is made without leaving a lasting trace.
