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.

The cover of ArtReview Asia’s Spring issue features Korean artist Ayoung Kim, a pioneer of ‘speculative fiction’ whose work uses digital imaging technologies and generative AI to create virtual worlds that highlight the labour market’s imbalances and exploitations. Also featured: Pratchaya Phinthong, whose multidisciplinary output spotlights how value is judged; Joydeb Roaja, who fuses politics, childhood memories and personal anecdotes to make powerful and provocative works; and an interrogation of the current cultural and critical exchanges happening between South Asian and Gulf countries. Plus, surveys of the art scenes in Vietnam and Oman, a close encounter with Thailand’s new ‘art forest’, and reviews and book reviews.
