Asia Contemporary Art Week’s FIELD MEETING serves as a dynamic, performative platform where the creative process takes center stage, fosteringintimate, first-hand encounters between artists, curators, and audiences. The energizing afternoon of FIELD MEETING Take 2: An Afterthought in Venice, heldwithin the welcoming, historic setting of the Arsenale Navy Officer’s Club on May 8, 2015, exemplifies this spirit of exchange. It featured a rich program of live performances, talks, and discussions that blurred the lines between presentation and dialogue, inviting participants into a shared space of reflection and discovery. Sparked by the success and momentum of its inaugural iteration in New York in 2014, FIELD MEETING has grown into an ongoing curatorial initiative that emphasizes process over product, collaboration over competition, and conceptual exploration over finished outcomes. This format challenges conventional models of exhibition-making by highlighting the intangible, fluid, and often unseen elements of creative practice.

​

At its core, FIELD MEETING reimagines the art forum as a site of generative thought, where the boundaries between creator and audience dissolve, cultivating a community of mutual inspiration. It champions the unfinished, the emergent, and the collaborative, foregrounding the intellectual labor and evolving dialogues that shape contemporary art across diverse contexts.
