Book published in conjunction with the special exhibition 'Imaginary Asia' held at Nam June Paik Art Center, South Korea from 9 March to 2 July 2017.

'Nam June Paik Art Center's special exhibition “Imaginary Asia” aims to lead the newly emergent trend in contemporary art through a new form of self-embodied history making, in collaboration with artists who subjectively speculate on various historical experiences shared throughout Asia proper such as the lack of modernisation, ideological clashes, and exogenously imposed globalisation. This new form of history-making will map out a range of methodologies for engaging with Asian history in its serious, sensitive, acute, creative, and generative approach.'-excerpted from curatorial statement.
