ArtReview Magazine

In the September issue of ArtReview, Adeline Chia looks at the work of the Indonesian collective Taring Padi, who consider themselves activists first and artists second. Clive Chijioke Nwonka turns to the redevelopment of London’s Hackney Wick and considers the effects of enlisting cultural institutions in such endeavours. Alexandra Symons-Sutcliffe discusses Terminal Piece (1972), by Kate Millett, made in response to the highly publicised murder of an American teenage girl. Also in this issue, Martin Herbert observes that Jasper Johns’s paintings often hide more than they reveal; Nicole Kaack argues that Sophie Becker’s ventriloquism performances become a tool by which to question who’s really in charge; Zoë Hopkins addresses the rich history of black graphic scores to make the case that black musical culture has always also been a visual culture; and Emily McDermott asks the poet Ana María Caballero about what art is and what AI isn’t. Plus, reviews from around the world, including London, New York, Barcelona and Antananarivo, and reviews of books by Catherine Liu, Charlotte Higgins and Simon Reynolds. Included with this issue is a free 56-page supplement exploring the contemporary art scenes of South Korea.
