Published on the occasion of the titled exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk from September 2009 to January 2010. It features 24 internationally recognized artists — their introductions and interviews are included in this catalogue.

"All the artists in The World Is Yours work with a relationship with the world, with society, with identity, with what and where we are; not in order to sustain art and the art system, but because the world is interesting, still veiled in history, infinite, complicated, cruel, arousing, illusory and terrifyingly real. The aesthetic or artistic gaze at the world with which most of the participants in the exhibition share thus moves constantly in and out of all sorts of other disciplines than those we might expect to meet in a museum of art: scientific analysis and the imagination, documentary passion, political activism, as well as a pronounced fondness for the idea that the viewer has a part to play in the work." - excerpt from foreword

Note: Only participating artists of Asian descent are listed below.
