Positioning Contemporary Asian Art

Pages 10-13 | Published online: 07 May 2014
 

Abstract

The words “Asia,” “the Orient,” and “the East” are loaded terms conceived by the West. Through prefabricated constructs of the imagination, Asia has become one of the West's deepest and most recurring images of the Other. As a result, the geographical boundaries and regional divisions of Asia and the curatorial considerations in the visual arts that arise from them often comply with binary schemas such as East/West, yellow/white, and Asian values/Euro-American centricities.
