Asia Contemporary Art Week Field Meeting: Thinking Projects
By Tausif Noor
The discussion
In its fifth iteration, Asia Contemporary Art Week’s Field Meeting convened to address the bounds and possibilities of the “project,” a concept that has become increasingly popular in artistic practice. In its adaptability to uneasy political climates, research-driven and project-based work allows for timely investigations into the connections between artist, institutions and culture—broadly writ—probing both the conditions of production and the afterlives of artistic creation. In this regard, Field Meeting aspires to be both a platform for surveying the current state of contemporary Asian art while also considering alternative methods for engaging participants and audiences.
