ArtReview Asia Magazine Spring & Summer 2014 Edición anterior

ArtReview Asia Spring & Summer 2014 delves into the work of artists who explore and expand the boundaries of perception, time, and identity. The cover feature is an in-depth interview with Carsten Nicolai, who discusses his large-scale public light installation, a (Alpha) Pulse, in Hong Kong. The magazine also looks at the recent practice of painter Zhang Enli, exploring how he makes the ordinary extraordinary, echoing both Buddhist philosophy and the great Chinese painters of the past. Further features include an investigation into performance art in India, examining how artists like Sahej Rahal navigate the subcontinent's deep-rooted familiarity with ritual and performance; an essay on how different cultural conceptions of time influence the video work of contemporary Asian artists; and a conversation between leading curators Dieter Roelstraete and Anselm Franke about the "essayistic" approach to exhibitions. Plus, interviews with influential collector Wang Wei and artist Tatsuo Miyajima; novelist Marie Darrieussecq on the strange life of Annlee, a manga character purchased and 'freed' by artists; and a special project by Koki Tanaka, whose series of 'impossible' instructions runs throughout the features section.
