"I hope each viewer is as moved as I am by this exhibition and is challenged and inspired by the art. The power of this exhibition will influence all of u.s. for years to come."
Global Asias invites viewers to think about Asia not in singular but plural terms – encouraging audiences to understand Asia as a site of meaning across the globe. The artists in Global Asias were born in Japan, Mainland china, Korea, Vietnam, Argentina and the U.s.. Guest curated by Dr. Chang Tan, assistant professor of art history and Asian studies at Penn State, the exhibition provides an opportunity to motility away from considering Asia as a geographical location and instead invites united states to think broadly virtually how "Asia" has long served as an imaginative construct.
"As a centerpiece of a world-class and globally oriented research university, we are dedicated to organizing and presenting projects that rewrite outdated histories, reconsider cultural assumptions and embrace inclusivity," said Palmer Museum Director Erin One thousand. Coe. "This powerful exhibition, which was conceived of in late 2018, invites usa to consider our shared humanity particularly in the wake of the global pandemic."

All depict on a rich assortment of motifs, media, genres, techniques and cultural motivations to reverberate and embody various "Asias" in a modern global context.
"Globalization, with all its glasses likewise every bit perils, continues to shape our daily existence," said invitee curator Chang Tan. "The Asian and Asian American artists featured in this exhibition let us to see that the dissever between 'us' and 'them' is often misplaced and illusionary. Nosotros are on this beautiful yet fragile planet together. Art lays blank our shared passions and fears, and hence helps us map our entangled destinies ahead."
The 45 works in Global Asias are divided into three thematic sections:
Exuberant Forms features works that reshape and challenge conventional views of abstract art by exploring new materials, techniques and metaphors. Kwang Young Chun (b. 1944) exploits the texture of handmade papers in his somber accretive monochromes, while Jacob Hashimoto (b. 1973) mimics the issue of collage in his bout-de-force prints. Jun Kaneko (b. 1942) "flattens" raku ware into explosive 2-dimensionality. Hiroki Morinoue (b. 1947) and Barbara Takenaga (b. 1949) create intricate geometric patterns to evoke natural formations.
Moving Stories brings together powerful works that reflect on the experiences of migration, both within Asia and across. Dinh Q. Lê (b. 1968) appropriates and masks iconic images of the Vietnam War. Hung Liu (1948–2021) also finds inspiration in historical photographs, reinterpreting the genre of portraiture through the lens of displaced and voluntary immigrants. Roger Shimomura (b. 1939) borrows the visual linguistic communication of Japanese woodblock prints and Popular art to render the lives of Japanese Americans incarcerated in internment camps during Globe War II. Practice Ho Suh (b. 1962) and Rirkrit Tiravanjia (b. 1961) map their own diasporic trajectories, literally and metaphorically.
Asias Reinvented highlights ii- and three-dimensional works that transform styles and motifs of traditional Asian art to engage, probe and critique contemporary popular civilisation and politics. The Pop- and manga-inflected fantasies of Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) and Mariko Mori (b. 1967) are rooted in both the artisanal heritages and the consumerist trends of Japan. Akio Takamori (1950–2017) and Patti Warashina (b. 1940) turn seemingly innocent motifs into uncanny portrayals of life, love and death. Manabu Ikeda (b. 1973) evokes Hokusai'due south famous waves to create a surreal scene of planetary apocalypse.
