ArtReview Asia Magazine Autumn 2023 Edizione posteriore

In the Autumn issue of ArtReview Asia, Andrew Russeth looks beyond the most famous work of artist Kim Beom – a 2012 video of an artist screaming at a canvas while he paints – to find an idiosyncratic and plainspoken art whose message, taken at face value, is How to become a rock. Adeline Chia listens to the latest release by Indonesian musician Kasimyn, adding context to a difficult and rewarding concept album. Mark Rappolt looks at how Sancintya Mohini Simpson explores memories held in materials, particularly as she tracks the movements of an Indian diaspora displaced through indentured servitude. ArtReview Asia speaks with Cai Guo-Qiang on the occasion of the Chinese artist’s retrospective in Tokyo. Yongwoo Lee profiles the revolutionary work of Wang Tuo. And Wang Bing tells ArtReview Asia that filmmaking is not so complicated. Plus columns on the destruction of culture and history in India for political purposes; and the poor example being set by US museums with tainted Thai treasure in their collections.
