Have We Met?

Exhibition

Flyer of HAVE WE MET?exhibition

Due to the rise of globalization since the 1990s, a generation of people from different societies and cultures around the world emerged during the 2000s with shared experiences, having grown up watching the same TV shows, reading the same magazines, and consuming the same pop culture. Instead of focusing on the differences within Asia like the previous exhibitions, this event revealed similarities between generations in Asia and found points of contact within art. Following on from the exhibitions “Under Construction” (2001–02) and “Out the Window: Spaces of Distraction” (2004), this exhibition was a collaborative project between four Asian curators from India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan that introduced the work of 14 artists.
