ArtReview’s October issue looks to artists and thinkers who turn their attention to forgotten histories, narratives and knowledge systems to put the present under a new light. Featuring: a cover profile of Jeffrey Gibson, an American-indigenous artist whose vibrant and playful work seeks to unpick and repattern some of the persistent mythologies around the depiction of native cultures; radical political thinker Noam Chomsky on what we can learn from the late anthropologist David Graeber’s revisionist writings and his posthumously published study of pirate societies; and, ahead of his first UK show, we take a look at the work of Tyler Mitchell, whose photographs of Black bodies in bucolic settings and idyllic landscapes seek to address their historical exclusion from such leisurely contexts and representations.
