In the April 2025 issue of ArtReview, Japanese-Sāmoan artist Yuki Kihara brings to Britain her ongoing Paradise Camp project, part of a larger practice that explores the diversity of sex and gender traits while dismantling the historical Western gaze cast on the bodies and sexuality of Indigenous peoples in the South Pacific – expect appearances by Charles Darwin. Gabrielle Goliath approaches historical traumas and their expression in contemporary violence through photography, video installations and performances that aim to create space for what the artist refers to as the lifework of mourning. Also: if the eternally popular genre of body horror serves as a barometer for society’s unspoken fears and anxieties, what is its current revival in film and art about? Plus: opinion pieces on food, fashionability, artworld legitimacy and why David Salle trained AI on a diet of his own paintings; a look at what ‘disrupt’ has come to mean in art contexts; and comprehensive exhibition and book reviews.
