ArtReview November 2023

In the November issue of ArtReview, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran speaks with Mark Rappolt about his new show opening in Glasgow later in the month, promising it will be “very dystopian” as well as a bit Frankensteinian. Nathalie Olah and Mitch Speed contribute essays on class in the context of art, focusing on the annexation of the artworld by the ruling class. Mariacarla Molè writes on the long afterlife of Thomas Hirschhorn’s temporary monuments. Also interviews with fashion designer, artist and thinker Grace Bonner Wales, and the Brazilian artist Tadáskía, whose work is getting attention at the Bienal de São Paulo. Claudia Ross investigates Analia Saban’s critique of how value is assigned, while Amber Husain comments on the emptiness of luxury minimalism and Kuba Szreder proposes a less exploitative model for museums. Plus Adam Thirlwell on why ‘writing’ sounds better than ‘literature’, and Jamie Sutcliffe on the need for artists working as ‘gleaners’ in the debris of ever-advancing technologies. And the full complement of exhibition and book reviews from around the world.
