2014 Inter-Asia Biennale Forum (Taipei) : Production Art
The Inter-Asia Biennale Forum is a cross-disciplinary academic project launched by a consortium of Asian intellectuals in association with the Inter-Asia School. The project aims to link together the public platforms of the various Biennales taking place in Asia, and based on each individual Biennale, to create a forum of interconnected thought grounded in the context of Asian realities. Starting with several key issues in contemporary Asian thought and art practice, the forum will respond to the academic topics of each Biennale, with an end to stimulating exchange and reflection among the artistic and philosophical communities in Asia, and to come up with shared concerns and goals for action based on individual life experiences.
The Taipei Forum of the Inter-Asia Forum will take the concept of “Production Art” as its starting point. On the one hand, this is a response to curator Nicolas Bourriaud’s (the founder of Relational Aesthetics) concepts of “co-activity” and “co-relational”. On the other hand, the Forum will seek to open up a platform for Asian thought, beginning with reflections on production art, and on the relationships of dominance among the human world, the non-human world, and the world of the things, as well as methods of creation.
