In Artistic Art Histories of Southeast Asia, Roger Nelson asks what knowledge is produced when contemporary artists engage – within their artworks – with overlooked histories of modern art. Through close readings of artworks by artists living and working across Southeast Asia and in the region's diasporas, Nelson argues that their practices contribute to decolonizing art history, drawing on the discipline's distinctive qualities in Southeast Asia. Chiefly concerned with contemporary art of the twenty-first century, the book also considers modern art made since the 1940s as a precursor to more recent practices. Nelson demonstrates that many contemporary artists in and affiliated with Southeast Asia conduct art-historical research on modern artists who are under-studied in conventional, academic scholarship. They make artworks with this research, and these "artistic art histories" go beyond the familiar model of "artistic research" to propose new ways of telling stories about the art of the past. Their practices foreground the human and nonhuman lives and life-forces that animate artworks and also art histories, bringing Southeast Asia's (post)colonial modernisms back to life.- Nyhet

Following the lifework (1960s to 2010) of visionary Singaporean architect William S. W. Lim, The Impossibility of Mapping (Urban Asia) is a compelling compilation of case studies and historical projects. This multifaceted publication takes Lim's ideas to a future Asia: a region defined by an irreducibly complex urban topography under constant flux. Looking from Singapore to Southeast Asia, and from this region to Asia more expansively (and beyond), it presents a diverse range of activities which may be productively framed through the notion of critical spatial practice.The book has three interconnected points of departure: Lim's lifework; the interdisciplinary exhibition 'Incomplete Urbanism: Attempts at Critical Spatial Practice' at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, and the related conference, 'The Impossibility of Mapping (Urban Asia)'; and the cross-cultural and urban festival 'CITIES FOR PEOPLE, NTU CCA Ideas Fest 2016/17', held at venues around Gillman Barracks, Singapore. The multiple links are emphasised in three key ways: through editorial texts, through design concepts, and through selected projects inserted as "intermissions" between each of the book's sections.Artists, planners, activists, architects, scholars get together in this volume to respond to Lim's critical spatial practice. Research essays, artworks, visual and textual documentation, spatio-temporal maps grapple with the diversity of Southeast Asia, offering unexpected responses to planning, building, and living cities and urban spaces, but also put forward the question, "Who owns the city?". This key collection offers a path into spatial questions in Asia and beyond, and serves as a teaching and research tool.
