FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice
VIEW EVENT DETAILSThe Annual Signature Forum of Asia Contemporary Art Week (ACAW)
Asia Society hosts the signature program of Asia Contemporary Art Week 2016, FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice, on November 12. With more than 30 U.S.- and Asia-based artists and arts professionals staging newly-conceived performances and lecture-performances, and generating lively discussions for an audience of 300 U.S.-based curators, scholars, and museum professionals, this two-day art forum emulates the experience of a studio visit on a larger, communal scale. The first day of the forum is hosted by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on November 11.
Providing an experimental and performative realm for creative individuals to embody their work through their own presence, FIELD MEETING transcends conventional educational symposia to showcase people and their ideas, research, and significant activities, whereby new materials, concepts, and projects are tested and considered collectively. The program facilitates meaningful exchanges while sparking lasting relationships between U.S.- and Asia-based artists, arts professionals, and organizations for future collaborations.
