YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF THE PASTAnicka Yi often collaborates with biologists, chemists, engineers, and other specialists. For her 2019 line of fragrances for Comme des Garçons, Biography, she worked with French super nose Barnabé Fillion. One scent, Radical Hopelessness, was inspired by Hatshepsut, the second female pharaoh of Egypt. Another, Shigenobu Twilight, by female Japanese Red Army militant Fusako Shigenobu.

One of Alicja Kwade’s series of works consists of a stand-alone clock, or a sequence of clocks on a wall, where the second hands don’t move forward but rather the clocks spin around. They always tell the correct time, but only have the expected orientation once every minute. They are well-engineered, confusing objects and, like much of the art that Kwade makes, bring the shifting nature of our perception of time and space into relief and therefore reality.

Illustrations by Franz LangMy mother lost both of her legs on the way to the Barbican Art Gallery. It was her day off, and she was going there to see an exhibition called Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art. She had just arrived in London on a coach from Oxford and was run over by a bus outside Victoria Station. This was on a Friday morning in early May.

Heji Shin is going to accept everything and just be very positive. She is bored of provocation. The photographs that helped build her career and establish her image were often provocative: for “#lonelygirl,” her 2016 exhibition at Galerie Bernhard in Zurich, a monkey named Jeany replaced the artist in a series of self-portraits. One image of Jeany sucking on the end of a dildo, both eyes closed in reverent contemplation, landed her on the cover of Artforum.
