ArtReview Asia Magazine Autumn 2017 Back Issue

The Autumn 2017 issue of ArtReview Asia, explores the theme of "the political self" through an in-depth profile of cover artist Nalini Malani, whose multimedia practice has been a force in feminist art since the 1960s. The issue also delves into the work of the late Japanese filmmaker Toshio Matsumoto, whose experimental films explored the politics of gender and identity, and looks at the 50-year career of Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, whose immersive installations highlight the friction between the public citizen and the private subject. Plus, Points of View on the rise of "defensive architecture" in our cities; the troubling nexus of film-stardom and politics in Tamil Nadu; and the role of a new generation of filmmakers in critiquing Thailand's ruling junta. And of course, extensive previews of the season's key exhibitions, from the inaugural NGV Triennial in Melbourne to the opening of Museum MACAN in Jakarta, alongside reviews of the Yokohama Triennale, Art and China After 1989 at the Guggenheim, and much more.
