An annual signature program of Asia Contemporary Art Week, FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice was a two-day exclusive forum for arts professionals dedicated to newly conceived performances, lecture-performances, and lively discussions by 30 compelling figures, hosted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum & Asia Society Museum, New York on November 11 & 12.
 
Emulating the experience of a studio visit on a communal scale, FIELD MEETING: Thinking Practice yielded an experimental and performative realm for creative individuals to embody their work through their own presence to an audience of New York & US-based curators, scholars, and museum directors. The program transcended conventional educational symposia to stage a showcasing of people, their ideas, research, and significant activities, whereby new materials, concepts and projects are tested and reflected upon collectively.
