International Forum: Shifting Targets: Approaches to Art and Multitude in Asia
Venue: Auditorium, Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Beijing

The scale of geopolitical change taking place across Asia can make contemporary art seem powerless to intervene or even participate. As globalization has arguably taken over from where colonialism left off, contemporary art’s often-complicit relationship with this new cultural and economic order complicates or perhaps compromises its role in society. Within this backdrop, how do contemporary artists and institutions help to make culture relevant for society in different parts of Asia? Do they constitute a ‘multitude’, and what meaning can be generated as their identities continuously evolve with their contexts?
