Inside the Winter 2019 issue of ArtReview Asia, a wide-ranging interview with cover artist Theaster Gates explores his socially engaged practice, the politics of urban regeneration, and the connection between art and labour. This theme is further explored in a special report on the practices of migrant-worker artists in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Also featured is a profile on the influential work of Hito Steyerl, an essay tackling the question 'What is an Asian artist?' and a look at the touring exhibition Dystopian Painting. Plus, an exclusive artist project by Lu Yang, and Art Archived delves into the work of Indian artist and critic Gulam Mohammed Sheikh. Columns from Deepa Bhasthi and Charu Nivedita investigate stereotypes in India, while Prabda Yoon looks at contemporary Thai cinema. And of course, extensive previews of Asia's major art fairs, including West Bund Art & Design, ART021, and Taipei Dangdai, alongside reviews of the Shanghai and Sharjah biennials.
