ArtReview Summer 2021
ArtReview Summer 2021
In the Summer issue, ArtReview looks to artists whose artmaking is about the creation of private worlds. Featured in this issue: a profile of Nairobi- and London-based painter Michael Armitage ahead of his summer exhibition at the Royal Academy; Ines Doujak’s surreal works that confront historical and present injustices; Mexican sculptor Ángela Gurría’s love of rocks; New Orleans photographers Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun reflect on their city’s resilience towards disaster; and Rindon Johnson explores his identity as a Black trans American through language. Words, he says, are “the most liberatory thing we’ve got”. Also included are exhibition reviews by Lucy Raven, Lindsey Mendick, Sula Bermudez-Silverman, Charles Gaines, Jim Lambie and Joachim Koester. Musician and filmmaker Flying Lotus is the latest artist to sit down with Ross Simonini for a free-wheeling conversation, plus the regular mix of opinion, book reviews and back-page musings to keep you content throughout the summer
