FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice
November 11–12, 2016
Asia Contemporary Art Week (ACAW)’s signature forum
Role: Curatorial Assistant
Curated by ACAW Director Leeza Ahmady
Hosted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum & Asia Society Museum, New York
FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice is a two-day forum for arts professionals dedicated to newly conceived performances, lecture-performances, and lively discussions by 30 compelling figures, hosted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum & Asia Society Museum, New York on November 11 & 12. Emulating the experience of a studio visit on a communal scale, FIELD MEETING: Thinking Practice yielded an experimental and performative realm for creative individuals to embody their work through their own presence to an audience of New York & US-based curators, scholars, and museum directors. The program transcended conventional educational symposia to stage a showcasing of people, their ideas, research, and significant activities, whereby new materials, concepts and projects are tested and reflected upon collectively.
