ArtReview Asia Magazine Spring 2016 Zurück Ausgabe

Inside the Spring 2016 issue of ArtReview Asia, the theme of art and power is explored through a cover interview with Indian artist Dayanita Singh, who discusses her unique "museums" of photography and the power of archives to shape memory. Also featured is a profile on the work of Theaster Gates, whose practice merges art with community activism and urban regeneration. Continuing the theme, an interview with curatorial group Raqs Media Collective explores the power dynamics of curating a biennial, while an extensive essay asks 'What is an Asian Artist?', examining the stereotypes and expectations that frame cultural identity. The Art & The City section offers a special focus on the resilient and politically charged art scene in Karachi, while Points of View columns explore the work of Tamil writer Jeyamohan, the art of Udomsak Krisanamis, and the challenges of censorship in India. And of course, an extensive preview of what to see during Art Basel in Hong Kong, alongside highlights from the Dhaka Art Summit, and a full reviews section covering major exhibitions from around the globe.
