Art Asia
Art Asia Pavilion, Miami
For the first time in its five year history, the fair features a special section dedicated to contemporary art from the South Asian subcontinent: an exhibition that explores some of the work coming out of the region and its far-reaching diasporic communities.
ART ASIA, the premier international Asian contemporary art fair, is returning to Miami for its fifth
edition with new and exceptional artwork by Asian artists from around the globe. Moving to 110
N.E. 36th Street at Midtown Boulevard, the fair will be held December 5-9, 2012 with a
vernissage on December 4, 4pm – 8 pm.
Founded in 2008, ART ASIA has hosted fairs in Miami and Basel, and become the leading
forum for international galleries, curators, artists, collectors, and educators to exchange ideas
and experience work from across the entire Asian Diaspora. ART ASIA Miami 2012 ushers in its
fifth edition with an emphasis on Near Eastern, Middle Eastern, and South East Asian artists -
continuing to broaden the understanding of Asian contemporary art in North America.
Jeffrey Lawson, Founder and Director of ART ASIA commented, "We are delighted to be
presenting our fifth edition. The Miami community as well as the international community has
been tremendously supportive and enabled our fair to continue to grow over the past five
years."
ART ASIA PRESENTS
For the first time in its five year history, ART ASIA Miami will be presenting a special section
dedicated to contemporary art from the South Asian subcontinent. New York based curator,
Jasmine Wahi, has been selected to curate an exhibition that specifically explores some of the
fantastic work coming out of the region and its far-reaching diasporic communities.
Salaam Bombay: Beauty and Chaos within the Urban Environment is a homage to the idea of
the urban environment and all of the elements big and small that make cityspaces so
unique. It explores different elements of urban life from social dichotomy to the complexly
graceful topography of the cosmopolitan landscape. Salaam Bombay will also be presented in
Each/One, a new digital exhibition platform to be launched in December, which provides
curators, galleries, and art fairs a new venue to exhibit cohesive shows.
With galleries participating from Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, ART ASIA
2012 celebrates and honors our mission to present the best of established and emerging
contemporary artists from throughout Asia, uniting a vibrant, growing community of international
artists and enthusiasts.
