Thresholds 49: Supply takes stock of the ways that art and architecture have historically reflected, grounded, forecasted, and challenged the structures of supply. Contributions consider the term broadly: as both noun (reservoir, inventory, chain…) and verb (to equip, to fulfill, to endow…). They offer critical accounts of supply: its substance, systems of exchange, and the labor and technologies that enable and maintain it, from the catalog to the ledger, and the almanac to the algorithm. What is produced when art and architecture dream a world of infinite abundance? How do objects and spaces take shape in an economy of scarcity? How has interruption marked the history of supply, and how could supply suggest nourishment as much as extraction?
The issue includes contributions by Imani Jacqueline Brown, Hou Chi-Chia, Meg Duguid, Michael Faciejew, Gabriel Fuentes, Larissa Guimarães, Matthew Hockenberry, Mark Jarzombek, Jesse LeCavalier, Bin Li, Adam Longenbach, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, Jumana Manna, Ash Moniz, Galen Pardee, Vikramaditya Prakash, Thea Riofrancos, Veronica Smith, Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins, and jina valentine.
