Youth deafens and demands to be heard. It's the essence of most creative movements in history. For Geordie Greep, it could be a kind of creed for his solo journey.

You tell me that acceptance is an “end to internal conflict” - I think that's beautiful, is it possible?

Made "as a prayer, an offering, a get well soon card…" for a friend who was not expected to survive, Phil Solomon's found footage films look away from the violence of Grand Theft Auto to find stillness, melancholy, and grief.

Mariana Enriquez - Hearing Voices

Just Pay Shipping

On side one of the broadsheet, we talk with Mariana Enríquez, the Argentinian queen of horror and author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and the upcoming A Sunny Place for Shady People. Read an extensive conversation on what The New York Times called a "once-in-a-lifetime reading experience", Our Share of Night. On the reverse, we dissect the anatomy of The Gothic, which can be found everywhere, from The Communist Manifeto to The Matrix. This is the kind of esoteric paraphernalia to put on your wall, find in an attic, or leave strewn across park benches and forever curse its next possessor.

NOTE FROM THE EDITORS

The Big Ship is the home of innovative and provocative new art writing that challenges the traditional canon. This is achieved in two ways. Firstly by platforming both artists and writers with fresh and diverse perspectives, particularly those unafraid to break boundaries and, secondly, by using thorough research and appreciation only as a springboard for deeper enquiry and stylistic exploration. This often results in a range of the contemporary, the experimental, and the personal.
