Asia Art Archive is a young and dynamic organisation initiated in 2000 as
a direct response to the increasing number of Asian contemporary art exhibitions
and events world wide. Based in Hong Kong, AAA, a non-profit organisation and
registered charity, is dedicated to documenting the recent history of visual
art from the region within an international context. Its first Executive Director,
Claire Hsu, founded the Asia Art Archive in collaboration with Chang Tsong-zung
and Ronald Arculli. The current chair of the board is Jane DeBevoise
The first art education centre and library of its kind, AAA boasts one of
the most comprehensive collections of
primary and secondary source material on contemporary Asian art in the world,
with over 20,000 titles accessible to the public, free of charge, via its physical
4,000-square-foot space and searchable from
its website.
From its inception, AAA has acknowledged its position in the field as more
than a static collection of material waiting to be discovered. Through the
regular initiation of educational and public programs by the Research+ Department, AAA endeavours to be pro-active in instigating dialogue
and critical thinking, and in introducing as wide an audience as possible to
this rich resource through its education program.
With a Board of Directors and
Academic Advisory Board made up
of noted curators and critics, and research posts in China, Hong Kong,
India, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand, AAA acts
not only as a valuable resource and ‘idea’ centre, but as a network
for those in the contemporary Asian art field. By attending and participating
in important exhibitions relating to art from Asia, AAA also plays an active
role in recording events as they take place. |
