ArtReview’s September issue features an overview of award-winning German artist Anne Imhof and ‘the smoldering trash heap of cultural citations’ that inform her performance works. Salena Barry looks at Nikita Gale’s explorations of climate-change, race, and state control. Oliver Basciano investigates the pioneering work of African-Brazilian artist Abdias do Nascimento and his Experimental Black Theatre. Also in this issue, Benoît Loiseau has a thoroughly middling time at an LGBTQ+ museum, Emmanuel Iduma looks at real and ideal projections of one of Africa’s greatest novelists and Phoebe Blatton considers why Polish women’s collectives do art fairs better. Plus extensive books and exhibition reviews from around the world.
