What '-ism' is Björk? Are NFTs the new land art? And a guide to shows this month |

View this email in your browser Who Belongs to the Land? In ArtReview's October issue – out now – Chris Fite-Wassilak profiles Jeffrey Gibson, the artist whose works unpick and repattern mythologies around the depiction of native cultures: 'Dolled up in intricate beadwork and bright kitsch plumes, Gibson's flamboyant artefacts mock the anthropological impulse, while buzzingly suggesting new rituals'. Plus Fi Churchman explores reconciliation and resistance in the photographs of Tyler Mitchell, an artist 'reaching for a way to visually articulate a different kind of double-consciousness'. Elsewhere on artreview.com: Lewis Gordon on the mycelium drumming of Björk's new album Fossora, in which the Icelandic singer unearths the mushroom as metaphor; Eloise Hendy offers a brief cultural history of the office; our editors on what to see this October; and Tom Jeffreys considers the 'same old logic of extraction' behind land art and NFTs.
