In the March issue of ArtReview, Amber Husain wonders why there is a tendency to sentimentalise Agnes Denes’s Wheatfield, an artwork often cited – misguidedly – as a model for contemporary urban greening developments in the service of gentrification. Tyler Coburn reports on an artist collective’s attempt to define contemporary art in Kyrgyzstan through performance, wordplay, tradition and politics. Adeline Chia discusses the ‘flow’ of Pratchaya Phinthong’s work and its transformative possibilities in people, objects and relationships. Camille Georgeson-Usher basks in Tanya Lukin Linklater’s atmospheric choreographies. And Rachel M. Tang discovers how Indigenous artist Kite translates dreams, performance and sound into datasets. ArtReview revisits Gabriel García Márquez’s 1982 Nobel Prize acceptance speech highlighting Europe’s and the United States’s double standard in celebrating Latin American cultural output while undermining its political autonomy. Plus: Michelle Santiago Cortés explores the tech-bro longevity complex, Ilaria Maria Sala considers the costs of the development of Hong Kong’s Shenzhen-bordering Northern Metropolis and Rosanna McLaughlin reads Tarot through the ages; followed by two dozen international exhibition and book reviews, as well as an exclusive comic from Bhanu Pratap.
