GROVE ART ONLINE NEWS
ASIAN CONTEMPORARY ART - September Update
This season Grove Art Online is pleased to present new material
devoted to Asian contemporary art--a rapidly growing area of study,
exhibition, and interest. The recent addition of this subject to art
history curricula internationally, an exploding number of biennials
held in the Asia Pacific, and the ever-increasing number of
publications and exhibitions focused on Asian contemporary art signal
the rising impact of Asia on the art world. For more info:

The Asian contemporary art update serves as a pathway into a rich and
diverse facet of contemporary art practice today. It includes
contributions from over 20 international scholars, nearly 200 art
images, and art from nine countries--China, India, Indonesia, Japan,
Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Anchoring the update
are thematic essays and over 50 biographies on significant artists
such as Montien Boonma, Anita Dube, Cai Guo-Qiang, Yoko Ono, Yoshitomo
Nara, Suh Do-Ho, and Zhang Huan. In addition, it features an
introduction to Asian contemporary art, an interview with artist Wang
Qingsong, and a directory of alternative spaces in Asia.
This new scholarship complements our superb coverage of Asian art and
culture--over 2,600 articles encompassing ancient and contemporary
topics. Grove Art Online's ongoing editorial programme broadens
existing areas of coverage and encourages the exploration of
multicultural and international subjects in the fields of art history
and related disciplines.
We are delighted that Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society
Museum, New York, served as guest editor of this update. The Asia
Society is at the forefront of promoting Asian contemporary art
throughout the world. We thank the artists, scholars, galleries, and
museums for their invaluable contributions of new scholarship and
images. Special thanks also to the Asia Society, ARTNews, and the Asia
Art Archive, Hong Kong for sharing information about this update with
their readers. We hope you enjoy it!
