Asia Art Forum in 2018 in Echigo-Tsumari

Summary

Potential of regional art festivals : Beyond the art world

“Regional art festival” pioneered by Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale has been spread out not only across Japan but also in different parts in Asian countries. Does the concept of “art” equals “commodity” continues to dominate as it has been? Can the regional art festival engaging places change the value of the art itself? The forum brings the opportunity to compare different tendencies and experiences across Asia and discuss potential of the regional art festival.
