In the Spring issue of ArtReview Asia, Travis Jeppesen profiles Li Yi-Fan ahead of the Venice Biennale, where Li will be presenting Taiwan’s collateral event, a project set to focus on AI and sure to feature the weaponised humour on view in the artist’s freewheeling, free-associative videos and performance lectures, which all seem to start from the position that ‘the machine is not our friend’. Max Crosbie-Jones reports from Bangkok, currently experiencing one of its regular waves of art-scene exuberance, and asks how well founded the excitement is. Anandi Mishra, recently relocated from Delhi to Gothenburg, Sweden, writes on the unexpected challenges and pleasures of being a reader in each of these cities. Adeline Chia explores Taiwan’s cultural ecology under the influence of a string of ambitious museum developments, including the Taichung Green Museumbrary complex. Artist Abdul Halik Azeez presents a project addressing some of the less visible forces behind development in Colombo’s Galle Face. Yuwen Jiang visits an exhibition in London featuring an eighteenth-century botany project that lays bare the complicated roots of colonialism. And Mark Rappolt annotates The Travels of Ibn Battuta, the latest entry in the magazine’s ‘Eternal Returns’ series. Plus exhibition and book reviews, and the word ‘justice’ – defined.
