The current issue connects RCA with work across art, design, writing and research, with a focus on contemporary cultural conditions and the expanded field of practice. Contributions may take the form of essays, interviews, image sequences, artist pages, experimental texts, documentation, editorial interventions and collaborative projects.

ARK magazine carries the history of RCA publishing culture as an active field of reference. Originally released from 1950 to 1978, ARK has had many renditions, with previous editorial forms, student-led publishing models and institutional traces forming an evolving archive of experimental practice. The relaunch treats this history as a live editorial field, extending ARK into a renewed platform for contemporary art, design, writing, research and critical culture.

Contributions are welcomed from artists, designers, writers, researchers, editors and cultural practitioners working across image, text, material, technology, ecology, posthumanism and critical practice.
