In the October issue of ArtReview, Patrick Langley considers how Tarek Atoui’s experimental instruments explore the way listening can alter our experience of bodies, spaces and environments. Shaunak Mahbubani looks at the ways in which Salman Toor’s paintings test and probe the thresholds that shape queer and migrant experiences. Chris-Fite Wassilak speaks to Kazunori Hamana about how to build a life between crafting ceramics, farming and housebuilding. Also in this issue, Jenny Wu finds common ground between John Berger and Émile Zola; Ilaria Maria Sala finds an antidote to AI in Bologna’s new Eco Library; Zoe Whitfield on Lance Hammer’s Queen at Sea, the latest in a genre of films to tackle ageing, dementia and the right to control your own life; Mitch Speed wonders if time has been unkind to Charles Ray’s sculptures; George Lucas has built a monument to his own taste, according to Desirae Embree; and Sheila Hicks advises Dan Coopey where to read post while seated, climb stairs mindfully and listen to what old clothes are saying. Plus, reviews from around the world, including Berlin, Athens, Copenhagen, Shenzhen and Mexico City, and reviews of books by Róisín Tapponi, Ben Eastham and Lawrence Kramer.
