Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends.

The project asks: What are the words used to refer to “modern”, “contemporary” and “art” in Southeast Asia? What do these terms denote and connote? When and how did they historically emerge? How do terminologies align or differ in the region’s many vernaculars? How do ideas of modernity, contemporaneity and art itself become mobile and take flight when shifting between languages? There are many dis- crepancies in the nature of these nine languages, as well as in the sources available on them, and the style, tone and scope of each author’s contribution. -
