Caroline Turner, Deputy Director of Queensland Art Gallery commented in the introduction, 'Speakers at the conference called for a new understanding of the historical context of contemporary art, including modernism in Asia, a new language for art criticism in the region, a reconsideration of Western notions of time, and a consideration of new strategies for deconstruction...Many artists spoke movingly of the personal experiences which inform their art.' With biographies of the speakers.
