National Culture and Arts Foundation presents Asia Anarchy Alliance at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts

Curator: Dar-Kuen Wu

After a two-year period of preparation by curator Dar-Kuen Wu, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (KdMoFA) is pleased to unveil Asia Anarchy Alliance (AAA), focusing on new concepts proposed in the modern and contemporary art scene in the Asia region. 

AAA takes a realistic stance to advocate the many beliefs that were force to be abandoned during the transformation of capitalism in post-colonization Asian societies. 25 artists from different regions in Asia included in this exhibition considered themselves without any particular identity to echo the subject from an artistic aspect. This has evolved into a minor movement in the contemporary scene in Asia that artistic fulfillment is closely tight to the real situations of their lives. Through their works, social issues faced in Asian societies today are revealed. The objective of AAA's aim is to trigger activities in various Asian regions to attack "globalization" by exercising "local-internationalism," and at the same time leads to an "internal revolution" propelled by introspection of the Asia art world while we anticipate for this endeavor to open up a referential outlet for Asian contemporary art.

The contributing artists in this exhibition includes Chen Chieh-Jen, Chen Ching-Yao, Chen Ching-Yuan, Yuan Goang-Ming, Yao Jui-Chung, Tu Pei-Shih, Yeh Chen-Yu, Chang Li-Ren, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Jompet Kuswidananto, Xijing Men (Ozawa Tsuyoshi, Chen Shaoxiong, Gimhongsok), Sakaguchi Kyohei, Aida Makoto, Morimura Yasumasa from Japan, Dinh Q. Lê from Vietnam, and Sutthirat Supaparinya from Thailand.
