This exhibition presents the varied approaches of five contemporary artists to the medium of single-channel video. The simplicity of this video format forces a heightened awareness of the subject and focus of each artist. The works in the exhibition are promised gifts to Asia Society's Contemporary Art Collection and include:

Makoto Aida (born 1955, Japan), The Video from a Man Calling Himself Bin Laden Staying in Japan, 2005
