ArtReview Asia Summer 2023
ArtReview Asia Summer 2023
In the Summer issue of ArtReview Asia, Max Crosbie-Jones profiles Thai artist Som Supaparinya, whose films focus on the minutiae of precarious terrain in order to draw attention to hydropolitics, power generation, the political inertia of the Thai nation-state and the rights (and souls) of mountains, rivers and their peoples. Japanese artist Horikawa Michio’s half-century (and counting) conceptual project Mail Art by Sending Stones explores stones, rivers and outer space through the collection and posting of rocks, a practice recounted here by Tyler Coburn. Coming at stones from a different angle is the artist Lee Ufan, who speaks with French artist Claude Viallat, in a conversation moderated by Mark Rappolt, about the convergence of two strikingly parallel views of artmaking born at the same time on opposite sides of the world and in perfect isolation. Also in this issue, previews of shows from across Asia and beyond
