Regionalising Southeast Asian Art: Scholarship, Exhibition, and Hybrid Digital Platform
Regionalising Southeast Asian Art brings together panelists with diverse backgrounds in art history, art practice, curating, programming, and experience in using digital-analog platforms for exhibitions:
* We will first explore early discussion on regional Southeast Asia aesthetics in the context of ASEAN, and examine Singapore art history within the Southeast Asian regionalism context.
* This will be followed by a discussion about a Southeast Asia-focused museum initiative: the Trans-Southeast Asia Art Triennale, organised by the Guangzhou Academy of Art.
* Finally, we will look into the mechanics of staging a hybrid exhibition — integrating web stories, social media, a printed catalogue, and a physical showcase.
Additionally, we will consider Asia as a larger context for the dissemination of art.
