Through collecting information on the recent history of contemporary art in Asia and making it easily accessible, the Asia Art Archive (AAA) aims to facilitate understanding, research and writing in the field, to enrich existing global narratives and to re-imagine the role of the archive.
AAA is a point of convergence for critical thinking and dialogue and a proactive platform for diverse public, educational and residential programmes for a wide range of audiences. At the core of its mission is AAA’s commitment to create a collection belonging to the public, existing not in an enclosed space, but in a space that is open and productive, generating new ideas and works that continually reshape the Archive itself.
Mapping Asia was the exhibition on display. It unfolded physically into Asia Art Archive’s site through an exhibition in the library. The exhibition manifested itself in space through artworks, objects, documentation, and videos and material from AAA's collection.
Artists and participants in the exhibition include: Agha Shahid Ali, Maria Thereza Alves, Bagyi Aung Soe, Adam Bobbette, Giovanni Botero, Francisco Camacho, CAMP, Sumangala Damodaran, Teboho Edkins, Toru Hanai, Harry Harrison, Karta Singh Healy, Zarina Hashmi, Ho Tzu Nyen, Kwan Sheung-chi, MAP Office, Naeem Mohaiemen, Tom Molloy, Erbossyn Meldibekov, Wong Hoy Cheong, Robert Zhao, and Zhou Tiehai.
