Documentary Film Exhibition, “Materials of the Future: Documenting Contemporary Chinese Art from 1980 – 1990” |
|
Initiated in 2006 in response to the existence of a large body of important material from the 1970s to 1980s which have been hard to find and are in danger of being lost, AAA began locating, collecting and preserving these materials.
At the same time, AAA has been conducting a series of in-depth professional interviews
with the key artists, critics and curators of the 1980s in an attempt to record
this crucial period in the history of contemporary Chinese art.
This project will culminate in a series of four geographically focused documentary films of the edited video interviews and collected material with the first, focused on Guangzhou, scheduled to be finished in Spring 2008.

Comparative Contemporaries - A Web Anthologies Project |
|
Initiated by The Substation, the Comparative Contemporaries web anthologies project is a follow-up to the 'Comparative Contemporaries' conference
(2006) in Singapore. A website is to be built and hosted by the AAA, and the
project aims to develop an open-ended regional platform to further discuss
and debate the questions concerning key texts of contemporary art writing.
LEE Weng Choy, the Managing Editor of the Southeast Asia Series, has invited
five editors each to select ten texts of contemporary art writing to be re-published
on the website. Over time, new editors and new 'proto-anthologies' will be added
to the website, and existing editors will expand their own anthologies. The Comparative
Contemporaries' Southeast Asia Web Anthology can serve as a model for other regions
in Asia to be developed in the near future.
The website is scheduled to be launched in early 2009.

Digitization projects |
|
Since 2004, we have been digitizing collections from individuals, including artists, critics and researchers who do not want to part from their materials (at the moment). Other rare materials — particularly those in fragile conditions and requiring immediate action to preserve, or periodicals that have ceased publication — are also within the scope of our digitization project.
