ArtReview November 2022 Issue Explores Bad Taste and Gender Fluidity
The cover of the November 2022 edition of ArtReview showcases Sin Wai Kin, an artist who has been questioning gender essentialism through drag since the early 2010s. Sin debuted their first male character, 'The Storyteller,' along with a 'boyband' in the videos 'It's Always You' (2021) and 'A Dream of Wholeness in Parts' (2021). Robert Nava's painting 'superbad' features dragons and sharks, eliciting varied responses. Max Crosbie-Jones delves into Orawan Arunrak's audio walk at Bangkok's Hua Lamphong station, part of Ghost 2565, co-founded by Korakrit Arunanondchai. Stan Burnside and Tavares Strachan address the need to unlearn Western art history through Junkanoo. Eliza Goodpasture critiques feminist art history writing, while Rosanna McLaughlin looks into a true-crime podcast about Ana Mendieta's 1985 death. Exhibition reviews include Wolfgang Tillmans at MoMA New York.
