Since its launching in 1999, Afterall, a journal of art, context and enquiry, has offered in-depth considerations of the work of contemporary artists, along with essays that broaden the context in which to understand it. Published three times a year,  Afterall also features essays on art history and critical theory.

Issue 33 looks at the current interest in performance and gesture amongst contemporary artists working across a range of mediums. Artists featured include: Mark Leckey, Xavier Le Roy, Josef Dabernig and Simryn Gill. Accompanying essays consider lecture-performances as an emerging art form, the ubiquitous presence of television sets and serials in recent exhibitions and the re-performance of historical works by a younger generation of artists.
