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, Geeta Dayal explores the alternate modes of listening proposed by Raven Chacon’s sound, video and architecture installations; Ben Street writes about a line from Vija Celmins’s unpublished notebooks that encapsulates the ways in which her art challenges both vision and its limitations; Oliver Basciano visits Kyiv to cover Nikita Kadan’s exhibition at the otherwise empty National Art Museum, an opportunity, the artist says, “to see how much art history is influenced by the history of wars”. Daniel Browning writes about the strange power of Emily Kam Kngwarray’s work a quarter century after the Aboriginal artist’s death, and Zoë Hopkins presents Nolan Oswald Dennis’s case for an African understanding of the cosmos. Also in the Summer issue: why bad times are making for good art (again), along with other exhibition and book reviews, and what art people mean when they talk about ‘modernity’.
