For this issue’s cover interview the Hong Kong-based artist Trevor Yeung discusses themes of intimacy and solitude in his large-scale works; while in our second feature Yuko Mohri, who will be representing Japan at the Venice Biennale in 2024, spoke about her plans for the pavilion before flying to Venice to search for materials and inspiration from the site and its environs. Elsewhere, AAP’s editors spotlight new works by Liu Chang, Hoda Afshar, and Natascha Sadr Haghighian; Isaac Wong Chai writes about the influence of Käthe Kollwitz on his practice; and Berlin-based theorist Ana Teixeira Pinto warns about creeping censorship in the German art scene. Finally, we review major retrospectives by photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto at the Hayward Gallery in London and video and installation artist Paul Pfeiffer at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, as well as new exhibitions by Candice Lin, Atul Bhalla, and Tishan Hsu.

ArtAsiaPacific Magazine Description:

For 20 years, ArtAsiaPacific Magazine has been at the forefront of the powerful creative forces that shape contemporary art from Asia, the Pacific and the Middle East. Covering the latest in contemporary visual culture, ArtAsiaPacific is published 6 times a year in Hong Kong, with editorial desks in 25 countries around the world. Our special annual issue, the ArtAsiaPacific Almanac, published in January, covers the major art events of the past year and forecasts the key trends of the year to come.
The dominant artistic influence in the world today - and for many years to come emanates from the vast territory that lies between Turkey and the Pacific island of Tonga that we call the Asia-Pacific. This territory includes India, China, Japan, Australia, Thailand, Pakistan, New Zealand, Korea and Indonesia, whose combined populations make up an amazing half of the world's total population. Also included are Burma, Cambodia, Kiribati and Uzbekistan - places hitherto overlooked, but which like their gigantic neighbors, are producing cutting-edge art of stunning and unexpected quality.
ArtAsiaPacific is authoritative, accurate, even-handed, exact and essential. Included in each issue is an up-to-date directory of the major galleries, not-for-profit organizations and museums with a focus on contemporary art from our geographical footprint. ArtAsiaPacific offers thoughtful reportage, analysis, comment and criticism to its readers made up of collectors, gallerists, curators, artists and those who want and who need to know the latest developments in the fastest-growing and most astonishing region of the contemporary art world.
