international art writing online
October 14, 2015 6:00 PM

What are some good international sites for writing about contemporary art? Especially interested in non-Western sources. I'm including the list I've compiled in the explanation.

My list includes sites that are mostly based in Canada or USA. I'm interested in all new suggestions, but I'm especially looking for sites that don't originate from North America. Anything from Britain and Europe would be great, but I'm also really hoping for some stuff originating from the Middle East, Africa, India, China, Japan, Korea, South America, or Cuba (more..!!). I'm hoping for sites that include critical writing: reviews, features, opinion pieces. But I'm certainly curious about sites that are predominantly images if they are coming from non-Western sources. Here's what I've got so far:

ArtFCity

Akimblog

Canadian Art

Magenta Magazine

Art Journal Open

Art News

The Art Newspaper

ArtReview

BLOUIN Art Info - Visual Arts

The Brooklyn Rail

e-flux

The Guardian

Hyperallergic

Momus

The New Yorker

Rhizome Journal

(FYI, two awesome sites that don't fit my criteria because they are mostly images: Prosthetic Knowledge and Wooster Collective)

Frieze is decent. Do they have to be written in English? ArtBerlin might be interesting.

Don't have to be in English, no (although it helps!). ArtBerlin does look interesting. Frieze is good too, but their paywall kicks in pretty quick.

Irish Arts Review. It's a print magazine but they pull pieces from their archives for the website quite regularly. The quality of the writing is generally high.

Asia Art Archive, possibly?
