Cubism in Asia: Unbounded Dialogues is organised as a joint project involving the Singapore Art Museum, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea and The Japan Foundation. A series of joint country-surveys were undertaken in preparation for the show and this is the first known attempt to focus on the question of how Cubist trends were received by artists in Asia. Artist biographies are provided in the catalogue.

《亞洲立體主義繪畫：越界對話》是新加坡美術館、東京國立近代美術館、國立現代美術館及日本國際交流基金會的協辦項目。在展覽的籌備階段，上述協辦機構在各地推行了一系列的調研項目，據悉這是首個重點探討立體主義對亞洲藝術家影響的大型研究項目。本圖錄亦載有藝術家簡歷。
