Looking Ahead: Dialogues in Asian Contemporary Art
Asia Society and Museum
November 8-9
In the last decade, Asian artists have gained significant attention in the United States with large-scale
exhibitions in museums, representation by major
galleries and inclusion in fields of study at universities. This symposium seeks to address this recent interest
featuring curators, writers, collectors and scholars from Asia, the United States and Europe. These conversations
provide a current view to a number of the key issues in Asian contemporary art such as the complexity of Asian transnationalism in a Western context, the translation of cultural specificity and the legacy of plural experiences of modernity.
