Within ArtReview's April 2020 issue we navigate a world that is rapidly transforming, reflecting on the artworld's response to the crisis and imagining new roles for artists in an uncertain future. This edition questions existing infrastructures and reasserts art's vital capacity for envisioning change and promoting progressive values. Features include Bosco Sodi's reflections on the commercial art market versus the intrinsic value of art; Erika Balsom's exploration of how contemporary film and photography address marginalised histories through obliquity and omission; and an interview with Roman Signer on his unique performance-based practice involving energy, risk, and intuition. The issue also delves into Gary Zhexi Zhang's argument for a new "Avant-Garde, Inc" blurring the lines between art, business, and technology, and Catherine Opie's work on identity, representation, and the intersection of politics and landscape. With additional insights from Adam Farah on challenging art-world conventions and Tomás Saraceno on art's use-value beyond commerce, this edition contemplates art's enduring power to provide meaning and foster connection amid global upheaval. Reviews cover exhibitions that resonate with themes of identity, social commentary, technology's impact, and the human condition.
