Margaret Tali and Ieva AstahovskaAsia | Art and GenderSmall Change: Ming Wong and Wong Binghao in ConversationMing Wong wanders between worlds. From Chinese painting and philosophy to theatre, film, Non-Aligned histories, and the radical politics of queerness, Wong’s artistic worldview comprises a prescient pastiche of cultural possibilities. Ming Wong and Wong BinghaoAsia | Contemporary Crisis and DissentArahmaiani: Nomadic Reparation Projects, Environmentalism, and Global IslamAs art historian Anissa Rahadiningtyas argues, Arahmaiani’s long-term, performative, and community-based work Proyek Bendera (Flag Project) foregrounds a socio-political trinity of feminism, environmentalism, and Islam that cultivates a reparative and egalitarian space of potential.Anissa RahadiningtyasThe Americas | Exhibition HistoriesThe Absence and Presence of Photography at the Second São Paulo BienalPublished to coincide with Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography, 1946–1964 at MoMA, art historian Adele Nelson analyzes the Sala de Fotografia, a last-minute, in-between and hitherto unexamined exhibition organized by Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante for the second edition of the São Paulo Bienal. Adele NelsonAsia | One Work, Many VoicesMediality and Memory: Akram Zaatari’s Letter to a Refusing PilotWhat is historicized, how is it recorded, and who determines and controls these seemingly unyielding criteria? Invoking multiple media apparatuses and deriving its title from a rumor, Akram Zaatari’s Letter to a Refusing Pilot (2013) undercuts the hegemonic and umbilical ties of media and history. Rattanamol Singh JohalThe Americas | One Work, Many VoicesIs Corn Feeding a Lie?Showing up in food, cosmetics, fuel, and medicine—and, by consequence, in much of the air we breathe—corn is a ubiquitous presence in our lives. Inspired by the first episode of MoMA’s Broken Nature Podcast, this text investigates how one single crop travels through our contemporary food system.
