The exhibiton “Melting Boundary” project is a part of “Condition Report” program, which is a Southeast Asian curators’ workshop of Japan Foundation Asia Center. By the main subject”What is Southeast Asia?” the project aims to create space for the participants to exchange their knowledge on contemporary art and culture while it also provides curatorial skills and insights. The project allows the participants to explore and do research in Japan and eight Southeast Asian countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippine, Thailand, Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia and Myanmar). The new knowledge from this exposure will be used by each participant to reflect on the state of the art scenes in their respective countries and find solutions where there are issues.
