In Art Previewed
Ten Summer exhibitions you won’t want to miss – in Yokohama, Folkestone, London, Edinburgh, Rotterdam, Milan, Zürich, Berlin, Basel and New York, by Martin Herbert.
Points of View: Our writers on what’s happening in the artworld and beyond, including Hettie Judah on the discourse (or lack of) about men’s fashion; Maria Lind on writer Lisa Robertson and the funny pathos of men; Mark Sladen on the nuance of ‘normcore’; Jonathan T.D. Neil on derivatives and value in art; Sam Jacob on the effect of contemporary modernity on our cities, and duck-walking; Mike Watson on the return of aesthetic beauty; Jonathan Grossmalerman on life on the small screen.
Great Critics and Their Ideas
Virginia Woolf discusses Baselitz’s Upside-Down Paintings, with reference to elitism, art writing and reinventing the novel, interviewed by Matthew Collings.
The Law and Its Ideas
In the seventh in our series of legal issues that shed light on the often-opaque relationships that underpin the art market, Daniel McClean discusses the ‘unfair competition’ and ‘counterfeiting’ claims in relation to the animal sculptures created by fine artist Xavier Veilhan and commercial artist Richard Orlinski.

Mark Leckey
With an exhibition at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise in New York, and a forthcoming retrospective at Wiels in Brussels, 2008 Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey talks to J.J. Charlesworth about what it means 'be' in the midst of a world where images have become things.

Hito Steyerl
The Berlin-based writer and filmmaker who analyses and interrogates the endlessly reproduced and degraded images and text that make up our digital culture and suggests that we can be more than just consumers: we can be active agents in the world around us, by Paul Pieroni.
Ryan Trecartin
The speedy, narcissistic, smartphone-slick hysteria of the LA-based artist’s films may seem echoed in his life, but don’t be deceived: the chaos has a system, by Gesine Borcherdt.
The ArtReview Files: Bridget Riley
Supported by her extensive body of writing, Bridget Riley’s art and continuous research has been – and still is – a major influence for generations of artists, reaching beyond the realm of paintings. To mark its own 65th anniversary, ArtReview delves into the archives to retrace Riley’s career, reprinting a selection of reviews and interviews published in the magazine between 1962 – the year of her first solo show – and 2010, introduced by Louise Darblay
DISOBEY!
When protest objects are exhibited in one of the world’s grandest museums, how does it change the objects? And how does it change the museum? by Hettie Judah.
Brazil – Being local, becoming global
What happens when an art object shifts from its local context into a global one? What nuances are lost, what new connections are forged? ArtReview puts these questions to a panel of knowledgeable insiders (Luciana Brito, Pablo León de la Barra and Pablo Lafuente) in relation to the art and art history of Brazil, moderated by Oliver Basciano.
