Organised by the Japan Foundation, the International Symposium 2005 Cubism in Asia: Unbounded Dialogue was held in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title. It was part of the Foundation's 'Cubism in Asia Project', which was started in 2003 to 'address the issue of modernity in Asia by reexamining the history of modern art'. The symposium was a two-day event attended by 16 panelists from Japan and abroad. This report consists of transcriptions of the presentations and discussions. Also included are colour plates of works by select artists and the panelists' profiles.
