The Editorial is a research-led inquiry into the expanding role and network of independent contemporary art publishers in Asia and their international impact through a curated series of public events, exhibitions, and discussions.
In responding to these changes, The Editorial contributes towards greater critical reflection on this rapidly growing area, paying particular attention to the connections, influences, and differences between the making, curating, editing, and writing of art through publishing. In this framework, different perspectives on independent publishing are considered, generating research through artistic and critical means while placing the distinct cultural backgrounds of different regions of Asia in a broader context. In doing so the project proposes an 'editorial aesthetics' at the nexus of contemporary art production.
