ArtReview Asia Magazine Summer 2019 Zurück Ausgabe

In the Summer 2019 issue of ArtReview Asia, the theme of tracing ideas back to their source is explored in an in-depth profile on cover artist Liu Chuang, whose video installations connect ancient Chinese history with contemporary phenomena like cryptocurrency mining. Also featured are interviews with filmmaker Yang Fudong on history and the process of storytelling, and Michael Rakowitz on cultural heritage and institutional ethics. A feature on the work of Praneet Soi explores the assimilation of cultures and craft traditions, while novelist Adam Thirlwell and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist discuss translation and creolisation as models for cultural exchange. Plus, as part of ArtReview's 70th anniversary, Art Archived delves into the magazine’s coverage of South Asian art during the 1950s, with texts by John Berger and others; and this issue's Future Great, artist Fazal Rizvi, is introduced by Natasha Ginwala. And of course, Points of View on the recent Indian election and the politics of language, alongside extensive reviews of major international exhibitions including the Venice Biennale and the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial.
