ArtReview September 2024 + Korea Supplement
ArtReview September 2024 + Korea Supplement
In the September issue of ArtReview, Izabella Scott asks, can there be history without facts? and then examines the ways in which a number of contemporary artists are filling in gaps and deliberately misreading what is said to be known in order to develop counternarratives. In a not-unrelated fashion, Bouchra Khalili mixes fact and informed speculation as a means of illuminating undocumented pasts, as Stephanie Bailey analyses in her text. Meanwhile Sarah Jilani interviews political scientist and historian Françoise Vergès on her radical line of questioning about the continuing existence of museums in their current form. Plus: Emily McDermott on Mire Lee’s haunting lo-fi sculptures, examples of which will soon be shown in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall; opinion pieces on Oscar Murillo’s flooded garden, the death of cordel literature and the films of Marguerite Duras; and a generous serving of exhibition and book reviews from around the world.
Included with the print edition: A special publication celebrating contemporary Korean art, supported by Korea Arts Management Service, is included for free with the September issue of ArtReview. The publication features profiles of 17 Korean artists, showcasing a wide range of artistic practices and perspectives. The artists discuss their inspirations and engagement with local histories, language, climate action, and social initiatives.
