This video features the Contemporary Asian Art Forum co-organized by Asia Art Archive and the International Association of Art Critics.

Respondents were invited based on being able to, at once, draw parallels, while at the same time, highlight the multiple layers that need to be considered when looking at issues in contemporary Asian visual art; as in the cultural exchange work of Michelle Vosper (Asian Cultural Council) and Alison Carroll (Asialink); as in the negotiation of Asia in the research and exhibition projects undertaken by Gao Shiming (China Academy of Art) and Yasuko Furuichi (Japan Foundation); as in the efforts of Jay Koh ( NICA) and Lee Weng Choy (The Substation) to open the access of culture to the public; as in the conciliation/ resistance to local and global influences by Heri Dono (Indonesia) and Noberto Roldan (The Philippines); and in the factors that must be considered when running a small/medium art space in Asia in the case of Binghui Huangfu and Chang Fang-wei (Taipei).
