In the October issue of ArtReview, Fi Churchman reports on Lucy Raven’s video installations capturing the undoing and remaking of American West landscapes; Martin Herbert takes the opportunity of a solo respective by John Smith at Vienna’s Secession to look back on the British artist’s five decades in filmmaking, and a body of work that has always found the extraordinary in the profoundly ordinary; Mikala Tai discusses the work of lens-based artist Hayley Millar Baker, whose ongoing series of moving-image works chronicle contemporary Indigenous hauntings; Alice Godwin focuses on Inuuteq Storch’s photographic depictions of Greenland, a story told through images of friends, family and daily existence; Emily May speaks with Akram Khan on the eve of his company’s final tour; Jenny Wu interviews Thelma Golden on the long-anticipated reopening of the Studio Museum in Harlem; Chris Fite-Wassilak annotates a 1927 H.P. Lovecraft essay for the magazine’s ‘Eternal Returns’ series; plus reviews of exhibitions from around the world, the latest in books, and a working definition for ‘picture’.
