Organized by ACAW director Leeza Ahmady and associate curator Xin Wang CURATORIAL STATEMENT AND LINE-UP INTRODUCTION Inspired by and born of the intense field work carried out by all practitioners of art, FIELD MEETING foregrounds the immediacy of these dynamic exchanges by bringing together over 40 artists, curators, scholars, and institutional leaders whose works variously relate to and problematize the cultural, political, and geographical parameters of contemporary Asia. As a curated platform, FIELD MEETING capitalizes on this fall’s citywide museum and gallery exhibitions shedding light on various aspects of contemporary Asian art through highlighting individual and regional practices; simultaneously, the intensive two-day forum facilitates another Sun Xun, Magician Party and Dead Crow, 2013, installation (wall painting, kind of exchange beyond established ink & color on paper, paper sculpture, and other materials). Courtesy of institutional representation and discourse the artist and Edouard Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong. to expose the field’s creative practices in a more timely and less mediated fashion. Through lectures, performances, discussions, and most crucially, the presence of the art practitioners both on stage and in the audience, FIELD MEETING presents contemporary art from Asia in its present tense and as a working process that dynamically interacts with creative energies worldwide while challenging its own boundaries.

As part of a documentary film shooting by B. Kairbekov. Courtesy of the artists & Asia Contemporary Art Week 2018 Thinking Collections: Telling Tales: A Survey Exhibition of Kyzyl Tractor Art Collective, a signature program of Asia Contemporary Art Week 2018 at Mana Contemporary, is part of Focus Kazakhstan, a landmark initiative celebrating the art of Kazakhstan through four thematic presentations in London, Berlin, Suwon and Jersey City. This unprecedented survey reunites Kyzyl Tractor collective, known for their feverish experimentations in the mid 1990’s and early 2000’s, after almost two decades of working both separately and occasionally together. The exhibition highlights each artist’s individual practice and contextualizes their work from all periods interacting with one another. The group is acclaimed for reorienting nomadic, Sufi, and Shamanistic philosophies as a new artistic language in juxtaposition with the region’s seismic socio- economic and political shifts. The show comprises two monumental sculptural works - one newly conceived and a reproduction of an older destroyed work - alongside numerous archival photos of the collective’s earlier performances, sculptures, paintings, drawings, found objects and other paraphernalia. On October 14, the opening day of the exhibition, the collective will reenact one of their legendary performance rituals entitled Purification.

  • FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice
    FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice Asia Contemporary Art Week’s (ACAW) Signature Forum Friday Nov 11, 10 am-6 pm, hosted at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (Peter B. Lewis Theater) & Saturday, Nov 12, 10 am-6 pm at Asia Society (Lila Acheson Wallace Auditorium) Over 400 New York and US based arts professionals gather for the 4th iteration of FIELD MEETING, dedicated to the dismantling of one of the most commonly used terms in the art world today: practice Curated by ACAW Director Leeza Ahmady Space is limited, registration required at field-meeting-thinking-practice.eventbrite.com Introduced in 2014, FIELD MEETING appropriates the format of an art forum to rethink exhibition making, from an act of displaying objects to one that stages compelling creative minds— to showcase the living energy of people: their ideas, research, processes, and significant activities. Now an annual signature event of the curatorial and educational platform, Asia Contemporary Art Week, each edition of FIELD MEETING invites over 30 outstanding artists, curators, writers and scholars based in Asia and beyond to embody their work through their own presence by presenting newly conceived performances, lecture-performances, and lively discussions to an equally select audience of New York and US based arts professionals. Inspired by artist and philosopher Rasheed Shezad Dawood, Nature Interpretation Center, Kalimpong Hill Station. Image source: tourmyindia.com, Aareen’s famous declaration that to create as part of the artist's research for his lecture-performance, "A Virtual Tour of Kalimpong" art is to advance the “journey of an idea”, this year’s FIELD MEETING is dedicated to comprehending artistic practice in all its nuances and predications, in an effort to yield an experimental realm whereby new materials, concepts, and projects are tested out and reflected upon collectively.

  • Selected Bios/Statements/Images
    SSeelleecctteedd BBiiooss//SSttaatteemmeennttss//IImmaaggeess Author’s note: With this essay, my intention is to publicize the artists of Central Asia. While I have written the contents of many of the following biographies, some text has been borrowed directly from various publications, press releases, websites, and other sources. In addition, some are texts that the artists have submitted to me within the past three years. Most bios do not list an exhibition history. Instead, they provide a general sense of the artists’ thematic direction, preferred media, level of achievement, and public exposure. Lida Abdul (Afghanistan) Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1973, Abdul lived in Germany and India as a refugee before going to the U.S. Her work fuses the formalist traditions she was learned in the U.S. with the numerous aesthetic traditions—Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, pagan, and nomadic—that collectively influenced Afghan art and culture. She has produced work in various media, including video, film, photography, installation, and performance. Her most recent work has been featured at the Venice Biennale 2005; Kunsthalle Vienna; Museum of Modern Art Arnhem, Netherlands and Miami Cantral; CAC Centre d'Art Contemporain de Brétigny; and Frac Lorraine Metz, France. She has also exhibited in festivals in Mexico, Spain, Germany, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan. She was a featured artist at the Central Asian Biennial 2004. Recently, she was in Kabul, Afghanistan, working on projects exploring the relationship between architecture and identity in post-war Afghanistan. Lida Abdul, Untitled. Video, 2004. Leeza Ahmady (Afghanistan/USA) Leeza Ahmady was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, and arrived in New York City in 1987 as a young teenager.

ACAW aims to promote increased public awareness of the richness and diversity of contemporary Asian art. “Since the first Asian Contemporary Art Week held in 2002, there has been a dramatic increase in awareness of Asian contemporary art and we like to believe this initiative has contributed to this fact,” notes Asia Society Museum Director Melissa Chiu. “The ACAW Consortium feels that as general knowledge spreads, there is a need for more focused education and so this year, there is an increased emphasis on public programs involving the artists during the week.” “Participants in this year’s Asian Contemporary Art Week will enjoy an incredibly diverse and broad array of presenting venues as well as an expanded list of artists from almost every region of Asia,” notes ACAW Director Leeza Ahmady, an independent curator. Featured artists hail from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and, for the first time, from the Middle East: Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. New to this year’s ACAW format is Artists in Conversation, a series of talks given by 35 leading and emerging artists who speak about their works and share their concepts and inspirations.
