In the Summer issue of ArtReview Asia, Indian artist Shilpa Gupta’s 2006 work There is No Border Here has been adapted across eight editions of the magazine’s cover, introducing a feature by Mark Rappolt that focuses on the ways in which Gupta’s oeuvre frames resistance to division, categorisation, segregation and other forms of state violence; Hilaria Maria Sala, digesting research into Sri Lanka’s national flower, unpacks how a waterlily came to be so freighted with meaning; Jamie Sutcliffe looks at what became of Masamune Shirow, ‘one of the most influential artists you don’t know’; and Max Crosbie-Jones marvels at an ambitious attempt to restore the comprehensively destroyed life work of Indonesian filmmaker Bachtiar Siagian. Also in the Summer issue: a 1926 lecture by Rabindranath Tagore, annotated by ArtReview Asia; an interview with Shimabuku; how to say goodbye to China’s zombie museums; and why an emotionally resonant visual tradition is essential to the success of a political movement. Plus exhibition and book reviews, and who gets to define ‘liminal’.
