In 2013, as the official Cultural Partner of Art Basel in Hong Kong, Asia Art Archive initiates a three-year series of panel discussions entitled ‘Unpacking Global.’ In the first edition, AAA considers the notion of ‘form’ and through panel discussions with international artists, explores the impact of the ‘global’ on artistic practice.

‘Picks from the Collection | Unpacking Global’ features material related to the panels, such as artist monographs on speakers Byron Kim, Linda Lai, Seher Shah, Vivan Sundaram, and Wang Guangle, publications by Burger Collection Keynote speaker Geeta Kapur, as well as exhibition catalogues and books on ‘abstraction’ and ‘the document.’
