The cover of ArtReview Asia’s Spring issue features Korean artist Ayoung Kim, a pioneer of ‘speculative fiction’ whose work uses digital imaging technologies and generative AI to create virtual worlds that highlight the labour market’s imbalances and exploitations. Also featured: Pratchaya Phinthong, whose multidisciplinary output spotlights how value is judged; Joydeb Roaja, who fuses politics, childhood memories and personal anecdotes to make powerful and provocative works; and an interrogation of the current cultural and critical exchanges happening between South Asian and Gulf countries. Plus, surveys of the art scenes in Vietnam and Oman, a close encounter with Thailand’s new ‘art forest’, and reviews and book reviews.
