The September issue of ArtReview looks at how histories are written. Naeem Mohaiemen’s work considers how the narratives surrounding past events evolve over time, writes Oliver Basciano; Jeremy Gloster observes how Stephen Prina’s oeuvre is in dialogue with the past; Jenny Wu gets up close to Kerry James Marshall’s painting School of Beauty, School of Culture (2012), a work that restores Black figures to the Western art-historical canon; Alessandro Rabottini unpacks the iconography of Victor Man’s paintings; Chris Fite-Wassilak discusses the new logics created by Gala Porras-Kim’s depictions of museum and private collections; and Elise Morton dives into the layered histories of Central Asia references in Almagul Menlibayeva’s photograph Red Butterfly (2012). Also in this issue, Paz Errázuriz talks about photographing under the censorship of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship; Joanna Walsh wonders about artwashing; Antony Gormley writes about public sculpture; Steven Piel makes kin in the ‘identoscene’; and J.J. Charlesworth tells you what to think about Immanuel Kant’s 1784 article What is Enlightening, in which the philosopher argues you ought to think for yourself. Plus reviews of exhibitions and books across the world and a comic by Margot Ferrick
