The Landscape of Infrastructure-Building in Asia

​

Jane DeBevoise, Chair of the Board of Directors of Asia Art Archive Hong Kong and New York (Asia Art Archive in America), moderated a 30-minute conversation between Farah Wardani, Yogyakarta-based art historian and director of the Indonesian Visual Art Archive (IVAA); Stephen Stapleton, founder of Edge of Arabia; and Kko-Kka Lee, curator and project manager at Korean Artist Project, an online platform that connected artists with publications and institutions. The discussion juxtaposed and examined how efforts that can be loosely defined as “infrastructure-building” in different regions of Asia meaningfully impact the local art scene.
