The University of Brighton is joining forces with the Federation of Asian Artists to create an exhibition to celebrate Asian Art as it focuses on the new millennium. The project includes the exhibition, a publication, visiting Asian Artists, artist's talks, and an education programme.
Featuring over thirty paintings by Asian artists from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Macau, Singapore and Taiwan. Between two to four artists from each country have been invited to submit one painting for selection which will have been undertaken in the year 2000. They will convey the artists' response to the arrival of the new millennium in the context of their particular country and region. The work will reflect the cultural, social, economic, political, religious and moral changes the artists have seen and will especially look at how these changes are affected by their own visions of their past, present and future. This is an official 'Japan 2001' event.
