 Letter from the Director

ART ASIA Miami has quickly become an established annual event in the city’s
cultural life. In our third year, we are pleased to continue to bring the international
Asian contemporary art market to Miami, and proudly welcome the finest galleries
representing Asian Art from throughout the world.

Since ART ASIA’s inception, we’ve witnessed the world’s awareness of new Asian
art swell from novel to established and growing. The momentum continues, and as
always, this year’s fair focuses on both well-known and emerging artists alike, with
work that expands the definition and boundaries of Asian art.

I would like to thank the galleries and dealers from around the globe who have traveled
far and wide to share and our belief in the importance of Asian contemporary art.

Please enjoy the fair. I hope that you will return and visit each year to experience
the uniqueness and momentum of ART ASIA Miami.

Warmest regards,
Jeff Lawson

IMITATION POP AND CONTEMPORARY UKIYO-E POP IN 3-D

BY USHIO SHINOHARA

ART ASIA Fair Miami 2010 is pleased to present two projects by internationally
acclaimed Japanese pop artist Ushio Shinohara. The first project is an installation
that explores Shinohara’s early iconic pop works, beginning in the early 1960s
with the invention of Shinohara’s self-coined genre “Imitation Pop.” The works
shown at ART ASIA represent Shinohara’s artistic dialogue with artists Robert
Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, while representing the innovative and humorous
nature of Imitation Pop.

In the second project Contemporary Ukiyo-e Pop in 3-D, Shinohara draws on

Kabuke theatre and ukiyo-e paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries to form
contemporary ukiyo-e creations made of cardboard, wood, paper, collage, magic
markers, and paint. These works are lively and erotic, following in both the
ukiyo-e and pop modes of expression.

ART ASIA Miami 2010 is pleased to present Liu Xiaodong’s (b. China, 1963)
Hometown Memory Series, a limited-edition set of seven copperplate etchings,
available exclusively through Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. Each of these
never-before-seen etchings features a black-and-white photograph from
Liu Xiaodong’s personal collection as well as a sketch and short caption written
by the artist. These simple sketches and line drawings reflect on Liu Xiaodong’s
childhood in China’s most tumultuous years, while simultaneously creating a visual
and written commentary on his views on painting and the content of art itself.

ECSTASY bY Lin Xin

A mixed-media installation, comprising electronic albums, video installations,

and oil paintings depicts the life of a virtual human engaging in visual and
spiritual experiments in the form of 3-D simulation, this work depicts the
humanoid on three levels: as a representation of the virtual electronic
experience, as simulated via virtual images, and as an expression of will and
desire removed from everyday life. Lin Xin’s work, while stemming from the
computer art genre that was so popular in the late 90s in China, is innovative
in its ability to use media to create a virtual vision in an electronic world.

NEW CHINESE PAINTING: HOT & SPICY

During one of Ethan Cohen’s most recent visits to China, he was struck
by the talent he encountered at the Sichuan Academy of Art in Chongqing.
Constantly looking for fresh work and emerging artists, Cohen made studio
visits and extensively met with the local artists. While all of them have gone
through extensive and rigorous academic artistic training, each has developed
an effective individual mode of expression. This special exhibition presents the
work of tentalented oil painters from Cohen’s trip to Chongqing: Feng Bin,
Liu Wei, Yu Hongbo, He Pei-li, Zhang Jiedong a.k.a. Adong, Li Jie, Wang Lei,
Yang Hui, Zeng Lingxin, and Zhou Ying. All of the artists hail from Chongqing,
and although each employs a distinct style and technique, they are all
representative of the uniquefacets of Sichuanese culture so vibrant in this
region of China.

STAGING IDENTITY: PERFORMANCE AND IRONY IN CONTEMPORARY

IRANIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE CONTEMPORARY ARABESQUE

In two thrilling exhibitions of contemporary art from the Middle East, Galerie
Kashya Hildebrand is showcasing artists such as Gohar Dashti, Asad Faulwell,
and Ahmad Moualla in this year’s fair. The first exhibition, Staging Identity:
Performance and Irony in Contemporary Iranian Photography focuses on
Iranian artists who use photography’s performative and ironic aspects for
identity creation, while reflecting on the historical legacy of culture, society,
and politics in the Middle East. The second exhibition,The Contemporary
Arabesque, includes works that use decorative, floral, and calligraphic forms
that are reminiscent of Islamic textiles. The unique juxtaposition of modernity
and tradition distinguish these exhibitions as a poignant regional dialogue.

This large-scale installation explores the convergence of technology, desire,

and personal mythology into a thickly layered stratum of images and objects.
The artist’s work immerses viewers into a fantastic universe where micro and
macro systems meet and the subconscious and imagination are free.Traverse

of rapid technological advances.

 DOMUS VULGUS by ApnAVi thAcKer

Artist Apnavi Thacker, as part of The Guild Art Gallery Co-Lab presents
Domus Vulgus at ART ASIA Fair Miami 2010. Domus Vulgus, inspired by
Bombay’s congested slums, intends to create an exchange between the
slum shack and its viewers while eliminating the preconceived notions of
how slum dwellers live. During this performance piece, Apnavi Thacker
will live in a shack, placed within the grounds of ART ASIA Miami, within
strict and simple means, attempting to re-create an experience similar
to actual slum dwelling. This piece is a testimony to the transient nature
and uncertain future of the slum community.
