Looking
Ahead: Dialogues in Asian Contemporary Art
Asia Society and Museum
November 8 - 9, 2002
In the past decade, Asian artists have gained significant attention
in the United States with inclusion in large-scale exhibitions
in museums, representation by major galleries and the development
of new fields of study at universities. This symposium seeks to
address this recent interest by bringing together curators, writers,
collectors and scholars from Asia, the United States and Europe
to discuss issues central to Asian contemporary art such as the
complexity of Asian transnationalism in Western context; the translation
of cultural specificity; and the legacy of plural experiences
of modernity. The format of this symposium will be a series of
conversations rather than formal papers.
