Asian Art Biennial
Asian Art Biennial is a contemporary art biennial organized by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Taiwan. It was first launched in 2007 with the mission to "explore the multiplicity of perspectives that inform contemporary reality" in Asia, to "facilitate intercultural dialogues through art" and to "enhance understanding of cultural perspectives of Asia" and its dynamic artistic creativity.[1][2] The Biennial's first two editions, in 2007 and 2009, were curated by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts chief curator TSAI Chao-Yi. In the following years, curator of exhibitions Iris Shu-Ping Huang took on this role.[2] The Biennial first invited guest curators for its 6th edition in 2017 and has been organized by curatorial teams of two or more curators from different countries and regions in Asia in its subsequent editions.[3][4][5]
