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 ArtReview archive consists of all issues going back to 2006, when the title was relaunched in its present form, as well as all issues of ArtReview Asia from its first issue in 2013. Together, the two titles provide an invaluable resource for those interested in the current era of contemporary art; the ArtReview archive is an indispensable reference for all art students, art historians and other humanities researchers, as well as offering an independent and first-hand research tool for professionals working in galleries, museums and institutions.
ArtReview Asia’s Winter issue features Indonesian artist and filmmaker Riar Rizaldi on the cover – and Stephanie Bailey dives into the quantum theories and Indigenous folklore that inform his work. Tyler Coburn finds that Kazakh artist Saule Suleimenova’s mixed-media works address her home country’s history of patriarchy and authoritarianism by countering these with intimate images of family history and demonstrators. Max Crosbie-Jones reflects on the displaced Myanmar artists who are recreating their communities in Thailand. Elsewhere in this issue: Sim Raejung’s artist project offers a humorous sketch of the human condition; American artist Mark Bradford speaks to Mark Rappolt about his community engagement and outreach programmes that have long been a part of his practice; Ilaria Maria Sala takes a look at Hong Kong’s art scene; ArtReview Asia highlights exhibitions to see this winter; plus exhibition reviews and book reviews from around the world.
