LEAP S/S 2024 Play Time

The summer of 2024 is one of games, marked by the Paris Olympics, and the Olympics in art known as the Venice Biennale. LEAP’s Spring/Summer issue is set in a gaming mood too. The issue focuses on themes related to sports, competition, games, and the myriad rules we set up in order to play these games. Through the lens of games, LEAP delves into the aesthetic experiences in contemporary life and the rules that govern them.
