L.A Louver is pleased to announce artist Rina Banerjee’s participating in the 2015 Asian Art Biennial in Taipei:

The theme for the 2015 Asian Art Biennial is “Artist Making Movement” and the exhibition is curated by Iris Shu Ping HUANG from the museum Exhibition Department. This subject matter reflects the current sense of discomfort in Asia and the trend for artists to break through the status quo via actions in their creative work. If we review art and creative types over the past few years, Asian artists have increasingly reflected social realities and focused more on local history, immersing themselves in important contemporary issues in Asia. In this context, artists are paying more attention to their own role, socially-oriented work and public responsibility, having concluded that ineffective public mechanisms make personalized creative energy more important than ever. These trends energetically reflect the personal values of a new era, wherein artists seek to kick start public interaction through perceptual works and seize opportunities for “qualitative change.” This represents the ongoing reflection and creation of new Asian culture, which reflects the sense of expectation and action as the people of Asia embrace a positive vision of their future.

The 5th Asian Art Biennial shows 140 works by 28 artists and groups from 17 areas/countries across Asia, featuring the wonderful diversity of contemporary Asian art, including painting, sculpture, installation, sound, video, performance art and workshop.

Shows open this Saturday, 19 September. On view till 26 December 2015.
