What Is FIELD MEETING?

​

Excerpt from Ahmady’s FIELD MEETING’s Introductory Address:

“Over the past few years more Asian artists have established presence on the rosters of blue-chip galleries and international biennials, while research and academic inquiries within Asia have also expanded considerably. The Field Meeting acknowledges the field’s achievements and challenges; it seeks to advocate nuanced approaches to the unearthing of our recent past, and more urgently, to the ways we can critically and radically imagine the future. By inviting artists and art professionals to share their perspectives and their initiatives the FIELD MEETING thrives on the possibilities of unexpected undercurrents, connections, and reflections on a variety of subjects from political activism, ethics, cross-pollination of subcultures, to renewed interests in anachronistic mediums and more.”
