Triennial City: Localising Asian Art

'Since its establishment in 2008, the Asia Triennial Manchester has brought international artists, curators, art critics and audiences to Manchester, co-coordinating a network of galleries that presents the art of contemporary Asia and its diaspora. This collection of new writing which provides critical perspectives on the history and future of the art of Asia as it traverses national and regional lines, and sets out what is at stake in the staging of this major on-going art programme. It shows Manchester's deep global connections, industrial past and migratory experience are reconfigured in the present by engaging new publics in the city, and the diverse ways that triennial culture may serve to inaugurate the city itself. It also explores how the process of localizing Asia in Manchester contributes to transformations in art and urban space, and the global development of biennial and triennial culture at large.' - from back cover.
