An essay by curator Eva Respini provides an overview of Sherman’s career, weaving together art historical analysis and discussions of the artist’s working methods, and a contribution by art historian Johanna Burton offers a critical re-examination of Sherman’s work in light of her recent series.

Craig Dworkin explores Rimbaud's years as a runaway youth in Paris during the Commune, and his acquaintances with the city's bohemia.
