Exhibitions are where artworks meet their publics. In Asia, with the general absence of systematic public collections and few academic art history departments, exhibitions are more than just sites of display and interaction. Exhibitions—and the curatorial strategies shaping them, institutional demands driving them, and art writing accompanying them—have become the primary sites of art historical construction.

Complementing the latest issue of Field Notes, 'Publics, Histories, Value: The Changing Stakes of Exhibitions' is a talk series featuring international and Hong Kong-based curators, educators, and artists responding to and enriching the contents of the e-journal.
