ACAW Presenter - LEAP Magazine
Asian Contemporary Art Week (ACAW)
In conjunction with the FIELD MEETING, Robin Peckham, chief editor of LEAP Magazine will moderate a discussion that focuses on art publishing in Asia: the challenges of localizing and globalizing, running a cosmopolitan publication, and publishing as knowledge production vs. performance. Panelists include artist Ian Cheng from Badlands Unlimited, artforum.com editor Lauren O'Neill-Butler, curator Howie Chen of Dispatch, and Artnet editor-in-chief Benjamin Genocchio. This event will be hosted by Artnet on October 31st. Space is limited; please RSVP at [email protected].
In today's global art world, media organizations act as more than distributors of news, arbiters of taste, or explicators of ideas. As one end of publishing becomes increasingly entwined with artistic practice and others move towards interaction with art and marketing, the making of discursive worlds—online and in print, in journalism and in criticism, in relation to exhibitions and art objects—takes on new dimensions, from knowledge production to performance. How does publishing span continents, from North America to Asia and back? What are the challenges of localizing for specific audiences, and globalizing for new readerships? What does it mean to edit a cosmopolitan publication?
