As the world surges towards ever greater globalization, we move further into an era of neoliberalism and information networks that continues to blur what were once unambiguous borders. Meanwhile, the nations of Asia struggle to come to terms with a paucity of verbal expression resulting from the diffusion of Western ideas and ideals in the 20th century. In the realm of contemporary art, the techniques of the West still hold center stage, with Asia often regarded as a mere epigone. For many years now, Asian art has been talked about as no more than a side dish next to the main course of Western art. The mission of the Asia Anarchy Alliance is to stir these stagnant perceptual waters--to send out our message by identifying the myriad issues confronting Asia and placing them in an artistic context.
