Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 Asia Art Archive talks: Wang Guanle + Seher Shah + Byron Kim, Linda Lai + Shooshie Sulaiman + Abbas Kiarostami, Vivan Sundaram solo

Description

Asia Art Archive organized a series panel talks adding to the Art Basel fair’s program.  After reading through the program, I decided to invest my time again in some of the AAA talks. Art Basel talks seemed to have a much more commercial orientation, with discussions about exhibiting, curating, book launches etc. AAA talks on the other hand focused much more on the core of the artistic practice, letting artists talk about their own working methods and conceptual backgrounds.

Talk 3, "The Document: Linda Lai, Shooshie Sulaiman, Abbas Kiarostami" (moderator: Hammad Nasar). focused on the role of documents and documentary methods in artistic practice.
