As curators and arts professionals, we are programmed to take as our duty the upkeep of institutional memory. We are tasked to consider how we can conserve and create access to everything that artists make, as well as to what degree an artist’s work fits into the art historical canon. Yet, more and more artists working in Asia do not concern themselves with the conservation of their work, nor their place within a canonical range, Western or otherwise. Instead, many are reimagining the world through a process-oriented approach, treating everything as material. Thus, in the closing section of FIELD MEETING Take 6, subaltern research and visions for inclusivity address the gaps and erasures in modern society through the formation of new aesthetic strategies.
