Shifting Grounds, New Horizons: Thinking and doing contemporary Southeast Asian art now is a 2-day online symposium gathering key voices in the field of contemporary Southeast Asian art. The symposium is intended as a space for renewing knowledge and conversations around critical developments in art and curatorial practice, projects of art history and exhibition history, and the ever-shifting coordinates of contemporary Southeast Asian art itself - all within a context of the expanded artworlds for, and public engagement with, the region's art over the last few decades. To this end, Shifting Grounds. New Horizons encourages thinking and discussion across historical and present-day contexts, as well as future trajectories of practice that are shaping the field.

The symposium will feature presentations by emerging and established artists, curators, art writers and scholars working in the field of contemporary Southeast Asian art. Alongside an opening keynote, it will comprise the following 6 key sessions over the two days:

• The Curatorial and Exhibition-Making

• Contemporary Practices of Art

• Revisiting the 1990s

• Shaping knowledge

• Alternate Mappings

• Collective Ecologies and Methodologies

Convenors

Dr Michelle Antoinette, Monash University, and Dr Francis Maravillas, National Taipei University of Education.

Keynote

Patrick Flores, Professor of Art Studies at the Department of Art Studies at the University of the Philippines and Curator of the Vargas Museum in Manila.

This piece has white yellow perhaps red but where is the black?

We are all in a paperbag when it comes to marketing & commerce,

whether we like it or not. It is up to each and every person on earth

 to fight their way out of one.
