  • Siah Armajani: Monument Valley

    A bridge by Siah Armajani (b.1939) is always a moving target, an ontological riddle. It must be quite odd for a visitor new to his practice to encounter such a structure – either as a sculptural installation or paper-based model – within the confines of gallery walls. Neither sculptures that foreground form nor ready-mades that […]

  • Wind Rising from the Tips of Green Duckweeds: —A Conversation with Qiu Anxiong

    In 2006, Shanghai-based artist Qiu Anxiong premiered New Classic of Mountains and Seas I (NCMS1), a thirty-minute, three-channel ink animation that narrated a powerful allegory of modern civilization and its plight. Inspired by the ancient encyclopedic cosmography Classic of Mountains and Seas, which describes a myriad of prehistoric and mythological creatures, the video and its […]

  • Art Agenda Review: “Why Not Ask Again” 11th Shanghai Biennale

    At the 11th Shanghai Biennale, it isn’t possible to take a photograph without capturing people; the vast Power Station of Art—an electric plant turned kunsthalle since 2012—is busy throughout the preview day and public opening. The curators, Raqs Media Collective, have titled this edition of the biennale “Why Not Ask Again: Arguments, Counter-arguments, and Stories,” […]

  • Art Gazing and Claiming Locality at Nanjing’s Sifang Museum

    NANJING, China — Recently I had a revelation while walking through the Guggenheim’s exhibition Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, where I experienced a unique and familiar kind of dissonance: the broad swath of geopolitically and culturally volatile regions the exhibition claims to encompass is somehow distilled and distanced in a clean, […]

  • Artforum Scene & Herd from Shanghai and Guangzhou

    驱车前往广州时代美术馆的路上，窗外时不时飙过一两辆自带改装遮阳伞的电动车。四两拨千斤的改装充满民间智慧：两三伞骨延长形成流线型尾部，符合空气动力学，游走于车河中又很拉风，惹得策展人侯瀚如赞不绝口：“这比扎哈哈迪的设计牛逼多了。”

  • Interview: Cecilia Alemani

    With Frieze New York now open, the curator of the fair’s Projects and director of the public art program for the High Line talks about all that went into organizing this year’s program, the challenges of site-specificity, and the delicate balance of entertainment and education.   Last year, Aki Sasamoto’s project Coffee/Tea (2015), a 3-D personality test, worked particularly well for me because […]

  • Of Gentrifiers and Rice

    Review of “CLAPBACK 2.Gently Weeps” at Sleep Center (9 Monroe Street Basement, New York, NY 10002, USA), Feb 28–Mar 13, 2016 The familiar story of gallery-led gentrification in New York took a fetishistic turn with its latest expansion to Chinatown. Look no further than i-D’s romanticization of “garbage-laden streets” in a profile of the area’s […]
