About
In the Summer issue of ArtReview Asia, Kawita Vatanajyankur invites us to objectify her body in the service of a larger point about objectification, one that makes use of domestic scenes coated in a candy-flavoured layer of horror. Cheng Xinhao’s explorations of his home province of Yunnan entail feats of endurance; his medium is his body, he says, for the way it reveals connections between ‘events and the landscape, the image and history’. The Vietnam-based collective Art Labor works extensively with artists based in their country’s Central Highlands – ArtReview Asia looks at the ways the group’s interventions provide new models for collaboration. Also in this issue: an interview with Tibetan photographer Tenzing Dakpa, columns on the disruptive power of love ballads and carnivals, exhibition previews and reviews, the backstory of Qiao Guo and a hidden artist intervention.
