Spike is a magazine for art and cultural criticism, mixing writing on themes urgent and forever unresolved, from “Web3” and “Vulnerability” to “Plants” and “Patriarchy.” Spike is visually splashy, by turns pushy, poetic, unexpected – and not shy to start an argument. Featuring literary luminaries like Nicolas Bourriaud, Jamieson Webster, Dean Kissick, McKenzie Wark, Joanna Walsh, and Jeppe Ugelvig, Spike has enjoyed a profound impact on art and its discourse in Europe and North America for two decades and counting. Founded in 2004 and still published by the artist Rita Vitorelli, Spike is one of the last remaining independent art magazines.

A digital subscription gives you access to the complete online archive of Spike Art Magazine since issue one, Autumn 2004 – that's 21 years, and 15.000 pages.
