Esse arts + opinions, published three times a year by Les éditions Esse, is a contemporary art magazine covering a wide range of art practices, including visual arts, performance arts, and digital arts, and all forms of socially engaged, site-specific, and performative intervention. It favours analyses that address art in relation to its context. Les éditions Esse regularly confirms its mandate to publish a socially engaged magazine by addressing ethical reflections and the major changes that result.
Each issue includes a thematic section complemented by a portfolio of artworks, a section of critical articles, columns, reviews of exhibitions or events, and a section presenting the activities of its advertising partners.
From time to time, Les éditions Esse also publishes books covering different art issues.
