'This book of essays and lectures by Apinan Poshyananda spanning 1993 to 2004 show the urgency and foresight of the contemporary art curator as activist. Apinan -- as he is known to his comrades around the world, in every language - has lead the charge on how to think about cultural production in a post-colonial, global and desperately fraught historical state that he calls "The New World (dis)Order". Appearing in landmark exhibitions and conferences from Brisbane to Tokyo to Istanbul to Delhi that mapped the emergence of Asia in the international art arena, Apinan has provoked a new ethics of critical awareness.' - Alexandra Munroe  

The book includes the author's biography. Introduction by Alexandra Munroe, Senior Curator of Solomon Guggenheim Museum, New York. This copy is signed by the author.
