POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

ArtReview Summer 2025 is out now – featuring Raven Chacon, Emily Kam Kngwarray, Nolan Oswald Dennis; columns on trans rights and protests in Poland; exhibition and book reviews; and more. Get your copy at the link in bio.⁠
⁠
Does the ‘concept of silence change when it is framed in a political context?’ asks writer Geeta Dayal of cover artist Raven Chacon’s work. “There is, of course, a silence. People are being silenced all the time,” says Chacon, taking John Cage’s iconic ‘silent’ 4’33” (1952) as a jumping off point for further explorations of silence – and lack thereof, and what these can signify. Through sound pieces and performances, the artist brings forth new ideas and ways of listening that foreground people whose voices have been suppressed. ‘To listen to Raven Chacon is to hear America not as it is mythologised, but the reality of what it is,’ writes Dayal. ⁠
⁠
A quarter century after the death of Aboriginal artist Emily Kam Kngwarray, Daniel Browning discusses her meteoric rise to fame at a time when there was little institutional context in which to place it. Oliver Basciano, meanwhile, meets Nikita Kadan in Kyiv to discuss constructions of identity and memory. Kadan’s charcoal-on-paper pieces are ‘concerned with the stories that we collectively attempt to preserve, and with those that are forgotten or hidden’. And Max Crosbie-Jones investigates the memory of the Indonesian filmmaker Bachtiar Siagian, most of whose films were destroyed during the anti-communist purges of 1965–66.⁠
⁠
Also in this issue: Bex Wade reflects on the UK supreme court ruling on trans rights; Nolan Oswald Dennis’s installations ‘renegotiate the aesthetic vocabulary of science, wresting it from the epistemic stranglehold of Western rationality and rerouting it towards Black imaginaries’, writes Zoë Hopkins; and, recalling recent antiauthoritarian protests in Poland, Kuba Szreder argues that the power of art to effect political change may be limited, but it’s not nothing.⁠
⁠
Plus reviews of exhibitions and books from around the world, and much more.

“I can’t wait to be an old man and look back at everything I’ve achieved, I’m not afraid of time passing in the way that others might be. I’ve always really embraced it, rather than felt confronted by it.”⁠
⁠
@Budjerah is our September digital cover star, wearing the iconic @chanelofficial J12 timepiece. Speaking with @elyssakostopoulos from his family home on Fingal Head, the pair reflected on their first meeting back in 2021, the artist's success since and his relationship with legacy.⁠
