Post-tsunami Art
Edited by Eleonora Battiston, Primo Marella. Introduction by Simon Soon.
Indonesian art. Pleasures of chaos. Ediz. italiana e inglese
"Secondo la teoria dell'entropia si può presupporre che la condizione di disordine che abbiamo oggi nella vita moderna non sia un sintomo negativo...". Così dichiara Jim Supangkat, autorevole critico e curatore indonesiano, nell'introduzione di questo volume che indaga la scena artistica contemporanea del suo paese attraverso il lavoro di dieci artisti cardine. Similmente alla produzione artistica di altre piazze asiatiche, soprattutto Cina e India, anche l'Indonesiana celebra il caos come, appunto, sintomo globalizzato non necessariamente privo di possibilità espressive. Prosegue, infatti, Supangkat: "Quando il caos raggiunge il suo punto critico, il processo di decadenza e le condizioni di disordine si concludono e una nuova sostanza prende forma, con un livello di ordine che è del tutto differente da quello che esisteva prima...".
Can Art Aid in Resolving Conflicts?
A pioneering survey of leading and emerging global artists, curators and art practitioners on the question: can art aid in conflict resolution and therefore reduce global tensions and human suffering? Throughout the centuries, art has documented the atrocities of wars, participated in propaganda campaigns, and served as an advocate for peace and social justice around the world. The aim of this project is to explore how art can assist in creating dialogue and bridges across cultures and opposing groups. Over 100 leading and emerging architects, artists, curators, choreographers, composers, and directors of art institutions around the globe explore the potentially constructive role of the arts in conflict resolution. A summarizing chapter maps out the diverse positions and examines the variety of themes and approaches that were brought up.

Deep S.E.A.
Contemporary Art from South East Asia explores what factors might distinguish the contemporary art of South East Asia from Western aesthetic paradigms, through the work of eleven artists from eight countries. "S.E.A." is an acronym for South East Asian art, but also alludes to the fact that all of the art surveyed in this volume comes from countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. The artists featured tackle such themes as identity and memory, emotional distance and diaspora, using a variety of media, from painting to performance documentation. Each is introduced by a local art critic with international stature; the artists include Aung Ko (Myanmar), Donna Ong (Singapore), Sopheap Pich (Cambodia), Natee Utarit (Thailand), Nithakhong Somsanith (Laos), Nguyen Thái Tuan (Vietnam), Khvay Samnang (Cambodia), Aditya Novali (Indonesia), La Huy (Vietnam), Ruben Pang (Singapore) and Isabel & Alfredo Aquilizan (Philippines).
