The Winter issue of ArtReview Asia looks to the ways in which stories and narratives originate, then morph and adapt to our contemporary times. From Zarina Muhammad’s otherworldly responses to the current crises of environmental collapse and extractive capitalism to Jala Wahid’s excavations into how the oil industry has affected Kurdish land rights; meanwhile a look at how Aboriginal artist Kaylene Whiskey’s paintings and videos are inspired as much by tradition as they are pop culture, and for his forthcoming book Tyler Coburn interviews three creatives from his covert writing residency at a prisonlike ‘Happiness Factory’. Plus columns and exhibition and book reviews from around the world.
