Abstract
Studies of contemporary Asian art have flourished in Australia over the last few decades alongside the burgeoning contemporary art scene in Asia and growing global interest in contemporary Asian art. I first came to learn about contemporary Asian art in the early 1990s, a time of dynamic cultural relations between Asia and Australia, including the growth of new art partnerships, collaborations, and exchanges especially through the Artists Regional Exchange (ARX, formerly Australia and Regions Exchange, 198799) exhibitions, the Arts Program at Asialink founded by Alison Carroll focusing on art exhibition exchanges and artist residencies in Asia, the arts organisation Multimedia Art AsiaPacific (MAAP) (now Media Art Asia Pacific) led by Kim Machan exploring media art in Asia, and the Queensland Art Gallerys (QAG) ground-breaking AsiaPacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) exhibition series beginning in 1993.
