Greetings from Shanghai! We are at SH Contemporary at the invitation of Arthub, launching SEARCH (Southeast Asian Art Resource Channel) with a presentation of art books, video screenings from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, market overviews and special projects as well as the website at the heart of SEARCH.
Please do visit www.search-art.asia – now live! We hope that this modest gathering of resources will help more people to access information on regional contemporary art, and strengthen existing networks. Do send us links, suggestions and comments and help SEARCH to grow.
We are also working with Arthub presenting two works by F X Harsono – the video and installation of Rewriting the Erased (2009) and his new video work Writing in the Rain. They form a stunning part of Arthub’s NOW Ink special focus presentation for the fair.
Our sincere thanks to benefactors, friends and associates for their kind support for this presentation: SH Contemporary, Arthub, IAIB (Indonesian Art for International Biennale), ruangrupa, Valentine Willie Fine Art, Ahmad Mashadi, Simon Soon & Eva McGovern, Reading Room Bangkok, IVAA (Indonesian Visual Arts Archive), Patricia Chen, Sotheby’s Asia, Christie’s Asia, Steve Tirona.
