ArtReview's September 2020 issue delves into the transformative shifts impacting the artworld and wider society, exploring how artists navigate crises, technology, and identity in a changing era. Features include discussions on the "end of contemporary art" and its institutional structures by Liam Gillick and J.J. Charlesworth; an interview with Farah Al Qasimi on her photographic and film practice, exploring themes of the supernatural and cultural modernization; and Trevor Paglen's insights into machine vision, AI, and how the pandemic reshapes our perception of images and data. The issue also re-examines the concept of "poor art" and its contemporary relevance amidst economic and social upheaval, alongside An-My Lê's photographic series capturing public messages on New York City marquees during lockdown. Additionally, artists Larry Achiampong and Sara Cwynar contribute perspectives on postcolonial identity, technology, and the hyper-saturated visual world, while reviews cover a diverse range of exhibitions and books tackling pressing social and political concerns, from Gordon Parks's historical photography to the contemporary art scenes in New York, Los Angeles, and Copenhagen.
