[Olivier Krischer]

Dear colleagues,

A quick message ahead of the upcoming AAANZ conference, being held at the Australian National University, 4 - 6 December.

This year AN4AA is convening two panels, presenting six papers, under the title "Asian Art Research in Australia and New Zealand: Past, Present, Possible Futures", convened by Michelle Antoinette (Monash) and Olivier Krischer (UNSW). The first focuses on a range of research related to the Sinophone world, from the pre-modern to contemporary, transnational and diasporic. The second is a panel of papers rooted in practice based research informed by cross-cultural heritage and experience.

INVITATION - Share your recent 'Asia related art' publications at AAANZ?

The convenors of "Asian Art Research in Australia and New Zealand: Past, Present, Possible Futures" would like to invite AN4AA members and friends to bring a copy of their relevant, recent publications to share alongside the panels. This can include both academic books as well as exhibition publications, large or small, for panel attendees to browse. These will not be for sale - it's simply to share recent research and exhibition projects of interest to this community.

All enquiries, please email: Olivier (o.kri...@unsw.edu.au)

Kind regards,

Olivier

Asian art researchers social gathering at AAANZ Canberra, 2024

 

Thursday 5th December 2024

1.00pm-2.15pm

National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) courtyard/cafe

McCoy Cct, Acton ACT 2601

Directions

Coinciding with the 2024 AAANZ Conference

 

 

Dear AN4AA community,

 

As you would have seen from our recent email, forwarded again below, there will be a number of Asian art related research papers at the upcoming AAANZ conference at the ANU, Canberra. Indeed, it's exciting to see the abundance of Asian art related research!

 

We thought it would be excellent to have a social gathering of Asian art researchers during the conference, since this is a rare opportunity for us all to get together. This will take place on Thursday 5th December, 1.00pm-2.15pm at the National Film and Sound Archive courtyard, to coincide with the lunch break during the AAANZ conference that day (we note however that there is also a presentation of AAANZ Awards at this time so this time may not suit everybody, but it was the most suitable time we could find for us to gather). The National Film and Sound Archive is a short ~9 min walk from the main AAANZ venues on ANU campus (there's a small cafe adjacent to the courtyard).

Please note that we are just helping to coordinate a social get together among us; any food and drinks will be self-paid/can be brought along. Our understanding is that registration for the AAANZ conference includes food and drinks.

 

So please come along if you're free. It will be lovely to catch up!
