ArtReview’s May issue seeks to clarify what is meant by artistic (vs, say, scientific) research, and what it looks like in practice. On the cover is Nicholas Mangan, who prefers ‘material storytelling’ to linear thinking, and whose films and sculptures address extraction, value systems and the potential for transformation in the context of his native Australia. Greek artist Vangelis Vlahos makes art as ‘a way to deal with [a past] event and to activate it, if possible, in a contemporary context, and test its impact today’. The Beijing-based Liu Chuang processes disparate historical resources, stories and media to create power, or at least a commentary on the nature of power and its effect on human and nonhuman nature. Also in this issue, interviews with Alexandra Pirici and MSCHF, columns on Judith Butler and how to deal with political defeat, biennial and regular-exhibition reviews from Venice to Sydney, a look at the latest books and a comic on cosmic inattention.
