FIELD
MEETING
FIELD MEETING is a series of art forums pioneering new curatorial formats that merge performance, lecture, contemplation, discourse, and travel—creating immersive, cross-cultural encounters where artists, curators, thinkers, and spiritual practitioners engage in deep exchange and transformative collective experience. Organized as multi-day performative gatherings and hosted by leading institutions including Asia Society Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, each edition experiments with expansive ways of foregrounding the intangible, fluid, and often unseen dimensions of contemporary art.
It reimagines curation as a site of generative thought, where the boundaries between creator and audience dissolve. It privileges process and conceptual exploration over finished outcomes, inviting play as a vital thread woven through the creative journey. This approach cultivates a community rooted in mutual inspiration while resourcefully addressing challenges in exhibition-making, fundraising, education, research, and representation. It fosters collaboration between cultural leaders in the United States and Asia—initiatives that extend far beyond the creation and exhibition of art, aligning with what lies at the heart of artistic practice: experimentation, transformation, and consciousness.
After a five-year hiatus, Asia Contemporary Art Forum’s (ACAF) FIELD MEETING series returned with its most transformative chapter to date: FIELD MEETING Take 7: Thinking Pilgrimage. Curated by Leeza Ahmady, this edition brought together 18 artists, curators, collectors, and spiritual practitioners for a contemplative caravan-style journey across Uzbekistan’s sacred cities and landscapes—Khiva, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Tashkent—anchored by meditations, performative dialogues, site-specific activations, and healing rituals.
