ArtReview Summer 2023
ArtReview Summer 2023
In the Summer issue of ArtReview, Alexander Leissle profiles Cemile Sahin, an artist (and prizewinning novelist) whose research-rich work interrogates the military–industrial complex, technology and exile. Cassie Packard looks into Sung Tieu’s postconceptual practice as it addresses fracking in North America and explores ‘the hostility, violence and paranoia embedded in supposedly neutral bureaucratic spaces and architectures’. Emily McDermott speaks with WangShui about the uses of AI in painting, particularly as seen in the artist’s current solo exhibition at Shanghai’s Rockbund Art Museum. Martin Herbert writes about Jessie Homer French, whose paintings, given a prominent stage at the Venice Biennale last year, tackle politics ‘sideways’, and are inextricably suffused with grief. ArtReview’s columnists weigh in on topics ranging from Manchester’s newest arts and music space, the mistakes museums make when designing their entrances, and the diminishing returns in artistic revivals
