Spike Art Magazine – Issue 88 (Summer 2026): Spirituality

Spike Art Magazine is an independent contemporary art magazine founded in 2004 and published by artist Rita Vitorelli.

Combining art criticism, essays, interviews and cultural commentary, Spike moves between contemporary art, theory, literature, politics and wider visual culture. Published quarterly, it is known for its sharp editorial voice, unconventional themes and visually expressive design — a magazine for readers interested in art as argument, attitude and cultural diagnosis.

Spike Art Magazine #88: Spirituality is the Summer 2026 issue of the independent contemporary art magazine. Amid the current revival of spirituality in culture, the issue asks what people are reaching for beyond what can be measured. The answers move through the divine, mysticism, ritual, belief, perfume, psychoanalysis, literature and generational searches for meaning — with contributions and features on Johanna Hedva, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Natasha Tontey, Santiago Yahuarcani, Jamieson Webster, Élisabeth de Feydeau, Joy Williams, Lamorna Ash, Steven Phillips-Horst and Aodhan Madden. A timely issue for readers interested in contemporary art, criticism, belief systems and the cultural return of the metaphysical.
