Charles Darwent is art critic of the Independent on Sunday. He was born and
raised in Trinidad, educated at Cambridge and divides his time between London
and Paris. Like Yinka Shonibare (whose show, Jardin d’Amour, he writes about
in this issue), he sees himself as part of the debris of empire. His column
from Paris looks at race issues in France.
Fred Robarts is mysteriously drawn to troubled places and idealistic
institutions, but is generally more inspired by the former. After spending
a year supporting electoral dispute resolution in the Congo, he prefers to
concentrate on unusual feature stories, having accidentally stumbled into
the news on a few occasions, blogging about the 2004 tsunami from Sri Lanka,
the Congolese elections and open warfare on his street in Kinshasa in March.
He writes on the man Robert Storr described as a new Hogarth, Chéri Samba.
Jonathan Romney is the film critic of the Independent on Sunday, a
contributing editor to Sight and Sound and programme advisor on French cinema
for the London Film Festival. His books are Short Orders (Serpents Tail) and
Atom Egoyan in the BFI World Directors series. Beginning a regular fi lm slot
with ArtReview this month, he has written on the apocalyptic visions of the
Australian artist Susan Norrie.
Philippe and Césarie Yard operate as a team, individually capturing their
subjects using separate techniques. Their unique approach enables them to
project a wider vision of the character on an individual and emotional level.
It also made them the perfect team to photograph cover star David Altmejd,
the sculptor whose works mine the process of transformation and transition.
ArtReview contributing editor Brian Dillon is a writer and critic based in
Canterbury. His book In the Dark Room (Penguin) was awarded the 2006 Argosy
Irish Non-Fiction Book of the Year Award, and he is currently working on a
further book, Tormented Hope: Nine Hypochondriac Lives. For this issue he
slipped into Sophie Calle’s shoes, producing an unusual take on the artist’s
work, written from her point of view.
