About the exhibition:
People from distant times and places; people with no connection to each other: the "Time of others" in this exhibition's title may recall the divisions that become apparent precisely at a moment like the present, when information and people move so rapidly.
While shared memories and sensibilities that transcend national borders are no longer a rarity, contemporary global society is witnessing a rise in conflicts brought about by economic disparity and differences in values. In this context, thinking about how we connect with--or what separates us from－the "other" can also lead to a reconsideration of the histories of the societies we live in, as well as the way we imagine the world. Collaboratively organized by four curators, this exhibition presents works by 18 artists from the Asia-Pacific region whose practices offer keys to engaging with the time of others.
