1st Asia Biennial / 5th Guangzhou Triennial

APT artist Tiong Ang is taking part at the 1st Asia Biennial / 5th Guangzhou Triennial.

Departing from the theme Asia Time, the curatorial team invited 47 artists and artists groups to participate in the first edition of the Asia Biennial / fifth edition of the Guangzhou Triennial.

In a world dominated by a global “World Time” awareness, Asia Time focuses on a local understanding of Asian time. Firstly, it intends to give an impetus to a topical way of thinking about time that comes from the arts. But at the same time, the historical and current context of Guangzhou will be involved as a starting point for searching alternative models and multiple perspectives able to better articulate the notion of “Asia Time.” Subsequently, new modes of thinking about Asia will emerge going beyond geographically and historically defined concepts.
