ArtReview Asia Magazine Winter 2020 Retour à l'édition précédente

The Winter issue of ArtReview Asia is an invitation to take a step back and extricate oneself from the immediacy of the current moment. Considering the present through the lens of history, this issue looks at the politically inspired erasure of Tipu Sultan, the eighteenth-century ruler of Mysore, currently taking place in India; and at the same time considers the work of Philippines-born artist Pio Abad in resisting the rewriting of history when it comes to the Marcos family. Also featuring profiles of Shen Xin and Lindy Lee, two artists whose work explores issues of home and statelessness, belonging and identity; an eerie project by New Delhi-based artist and photographer Sohrab Hura; and a survey of the cybernetic, psychedelic work of Kerala-born filmmaker Mochu. Plus, the work of Shanghai collective Slime Engine, book reviews, including Cixin Liu’s To Hold Up the Sky, and previews of exhibitions, biennials and festivals taking place IRL and online.
