Description and Table of Contents
Description
"Re-Imagining Asia" brings together a wide-ranging group of contemporary artists and thinkers who explore the cultural and artistic imagination of Asia. Beyond the often-mythologized 'idea' of Asia, the contributors investigate artistic heritage and political orientation, as well as the tensions between tradition and modernity. Through the visual image and the written word, they move towards a definition of Asian values - both aesthetic and intellectual. This timely collection includes works by artists based in Asia as well as artists from the diaspora, such as Chiho Aoshima, Subodh Gupta, Andreas Gursky, Kimsooja, Michael Joo, Gabriel Orozco and Song Dong with essays by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Ranjit Hoskote, Carol Yinghua Lu and Wu Hung among others.
