ArtReview March 2022 Issue Explores the Human Body Through Contemporary Art

publication · 2026-04-20

The March 2022 edition of ArtReview delves into the human body as a focal point for artistic exploration. Sidsel Meineche Hansen's multimedia work views bodies as a form of resistance against surveillance capitalism, the pharmaceutical sector, and pornographic imagery. Nairy Baghramian's sculptures mimic human organs and medical devices, probing bodily connections. Gala Porras-Kim examines the treatment of human remains and sacred artifacts in museums through her research-driven projects. Jesse Darling's anthropomorphized figures reflect the effects of modernity on identity politics. Tenant of Culture (Hendrickje Schimmel) produces nearly non-functional garments and fabric tapestries through tactile methods. The issue also includes digital art commentary post-Beeple's $69 million NFT sale, with insights from various contributors on exhibitions by Haig Aivazian, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Nikesha Breeze, and Paul Fägerskiöld.
