ArtReview & ArtReview Asia

ArtReview is one of the world’s leading international contemporary art magazines. Founded in 1949, it is dedicated to expanding contemporary art’s audience and reach. Published nine times a year, the magazine features a mixture of criticism, reviews, previews, opinion, reportage and specially commissioned artworks, and offers one of the most established, in-depth and intimate portraits of international contemporary art in all its shapes and forms. In 2013 ArtReview was joined by its sister magazine ArtReview Asia, now published four times a year, which brings a fresh and exciting new voice to the dynamic and fast-changing art scenes of the Asia region, as well as covering Asian art presented outside of the region.

In the Summer issue of ArtReview, Alexander Leissle profiles Cemile Sahin, an artist (and prizewinning novelist) whose research-rich work interrogates the military–industrial complex, technology and exile. Cassie Packard looks into Sung Tieu’s postconceptual practice as it addresses fracking in North America and explores ‘the hostility, violence and paranoia embedded in supposedly neutral bureaucratic spaces and architectures’. Emily McDermott speaks with WangShui about the uses of AI in painting, particularly as seen in the artist’s current solo exhibition at Shanghai’s Rockbund Art Museum. Martin Herbert writes about Jessie Homer French, whose paintings, given a prominent stage at the Venice Biennale last year, tackle politics ‘sideways’, and are inextricably suffused with grief. ArtReview’s columnists weigh in on topics ranging from Manchester’s newest arts and music space, the mistakes museums make when designing their entrances, the diminishing returns in artistic revivals and the role of art in inventing history. Plus reviews of the latest and most intriguing exhibitions from New York to São Paulo, Mexico City to Milan, London to Berlin, and what’s new in art, fiction, history and theory books.
