The existing institutions can no longer stand up to the challenges in reality, causing different phenomena that reveal the current state of Asian contemporary culture, which is in the midst of reforming its system of governance for the everyday life, with new order and relationships pursued and attempts exerted at subverting social power allocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Facing these extreme changes in Asia, using art to examine today\u2019s system of survival and taking part in the construction of the present history of life in Asia are important discourses explored by artists. As the themeArtist Making Movement suggests, the ability to make(create) and to move symbolizes Asian contemporary art is straying from how it was perceived in the past, as a static noun, and it is transitioning into a verb of assertive actions. This progression denotes Asian contemporary culture\u2019s active function and the stance taken for the actualization of art, with actions exerted for creating a new chapter in Asian history and to break away from stagnant forms and systems. Through their active interventions in reality and also their awareness for life, artists have become more assertive with using art to instigate changes, with the belief that personal creative endeavors can become movements with social effects. Artist Making Movement intends to project these active efforts that are shaping Asia\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The cultural significance with Artist Making Movement involves giving feedbacks and overturning Asia\u2019s current problematic conditions. Looking at the art practices and creative formats observed in the recent years, Asian artists have already broken free from their confining historical identity, and with tangible actions taken in creating a sense of social mission through self-awakening, they devote themselves in raising and reacting to issues in Asia. Asia\u2019s cultural development and art now place more focus on \u201cpersonal value and cultural identity\u201d, \u201clocalized experience and differentiated practice\u201d, \u201cexpression and discussion of public issues\u201d, with emphasis placed on new value systems such as individual creativity and self-production. Mechanism subverting qualitative changesare assertively initiated by personal perceptual innovations generated via self-actualization. This signifies the rethinking and making of a new cultural system in Asia, and this is something that is currently happening, with the vision that Asians hold for the future reflected in their active anticipations and actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Artist Making Movement: 2015 Asian Art Biennial will include artworks by more than 30 contributing artists. This year\u2019s biennial continues to encompass a diversity of genres, including painting, sculpture, installation, sound, video, performance and action-based art, with artworks selected to reflect this year\u2019s theme, Artist Making Movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to the exhibition, Asian art and curatorial symposiums will be held on the weekend following the opening, with scholars invited to conduct discussions on the subject of Asia\u2019s cultural diversity..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-nqjxq3-9dd9060c4d06475c61fbd702ba605be9\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-nqjxq3-9dd9060c4d06475c61fbd702ba605be9{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-nqjxq3-9dd9060c4d06475c61fbd702ba605be9 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"works&nbsp;|&nbsp;PRESS RELEASE&nbsp;| INSITU Asian Art Biennale 2015 - Artist Making Movement Curator: Iris Shu-Ping HUANG The 5th edition of Asian Art Biennial reflects on the restlessness and instability observed in today\u2019s Asian society, with these anxious movements coming from people\u2019s feelings of discontent with life, dissipation of the so-called small happiness, a sense of comfort [...]","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[],"class_list":["post-22235","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/22235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22235"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/22235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22237,"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/22235\/revisions\/22237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22235"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=22235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
