ArtAsiaPacific, the leading periodical dedicated to contemporary art from Asia, the Pacific, and and the global diaspora, has officially unveiled its latest print edition, Issue 151. Continuing the publication’s long-standing tradition of offering deep critical insight, artist features, and extensive cultural commentary, the new issue places a distinct focus on modern innovation, cross-cultural dialogues, and the evolving language of contemporary visual arts.
At the center of Issue 151 is the celebrated artist Tishan Hsu, whose compelling work Breath 7 (2022) graces the front cover. Created using a sophisticated blend of UV-cured inkjet, acrylic, silicone, and ink on wood, measuring 121.9 by 157.5 by 14 centimeters, the piece exemplifies Hsu’s pioneering exploration of the intersection between human corporeality, technology, and industrial materials. Copyrighted by the artist and the Artists Rights Society in New York, and photographed by Stephen Faught, Breath 7 sets a contemplative and forward-thinking tone for the entire publication. The artwork is presented through the joint courtesy of the artist, Empty Gallery in Hong Kong, and Lisson Gallery, reflecting the international institutional networks that continue to champion Hsu’s influential practice.
The release of Issue 151 adds to ArtAsiaPacific’s robust publishing archive, joining a distinguished lineage of recent print volumes that document the vibrant shifts in the global contemporary art landscape. Readers and collectors exploring the magazine’s latest offerings will find thoughtful curation that spans critical essays, exhibition reviews, and artist profiles designed to contextualize contemporary creative production within broader socio-political and technological frameworks.
Alongside the release of Issue 151, ArtAsiaPacific continues to make its extensive back catalog and specialized publications readily accessible to its global readership. Among the related products highlighted by the publication are previous milestones in the magazine’s run, including Issue 150, Issue 149, Issue 148, and Issue 147, as well as the comprehensive Almanac 2026, which serves as an essential yearly reference guide to the key events, exhibitions, and figures shaping the art world across Asia and the Pacific.
In addition to its flagship periodical issues, the publication’s platform extends to specialized independent volumes, such as the acclaimed book Contingent Worlds: Korean Artists Today, which delves deeply into the dynamic practices emerging from South Korea’s contemporary cultural sphere. These publications collectively reinforce ArtAsiaPacific’s mission to provide rigorous documentation and critical discourse for curators, collectors, scholars, and art enthusiasts worldwide.
Subscriptions and single copies of Issue 151 are currently available through the ArtAsiaPacific online shop, with digital and print editions offering readers multiple ways to engage with the magazine’s comprehensive editorial content. Headquartered in Hong Kong, ArtAsiaPacific remains an indispensable resource for tracking the pulse of contemporary artistic developments across borders, languages, and mediums.
