Founded in, or ‘making faces at art’, since 1949, the almost-monthly ArtReview focuses on expanding contemporary art’s audience and reach. Within its pages, art is observed, featured and reviewed. John Morgan, the pivotal designer of ArtReview as we now know it, is celebrated in this month’s editor’s note, detailing his playful yet precise approach. Lucy Raven graces the cover of this issue, with her featured work delving into the recent removal of dams along the Klamath River. Through photography, video, and installation, Raven explores the environmental impact, revitalisation of Indigenous culture, and shifting quality of life in the surrounding communities. Also in this issue: a retrospective on filmmaker John Smith, known for his moving, witty, and often psychogeographical narratives—from the gothic horror of a looming black tower in London to a poignant, introspective retelling of his father’s life. Plus, intimate photography by Innuuteq Storch offers a fresh perspective on Greenland. Storch reflects on the meaning of home and the importance of preserving Greenland’s deeply rooted culture through his powerful imagery. artreview.com
