Max Crosbie-Jones examines Som Supaparinya's installation, Two Sides of the Moon (2021), which highlights the environmental consequences surrounding the Pak Num Dam. Marv Recinto offers a critique of the Western-centric stereotypes present in the National Museum of Asian Art. Ahead of their exhibition Encounter at Pace Gallery London, Lee Ufan and Claude Viallat engage in a dialogue about materiality. Tyler Coburn documents Horikawa Michio's Mail Art by Sending Stones, which involved sending stones to former Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Satō. Additional features include Cemile Sahin on military-industrial complexes, Sung Tieu on fracking, and an interview with WangShui by Emily McDermott, along with reviews of Shigeo Otake's works and exhibitions in Bangkok, Perth, Taipei, and Mumbai.
