This case study is part of a series developed from the short course Case Studies: Asia and the Contemporary World, designed for secondary Visual Arts teachers and held at the Art Gallery of NSW in August 2004. Over four weeks of lectures by curators, artists and educators, several unifying themes emerged relating to the collecting and exhibiting of contemporary Asian art. These themes have become the framing questions for this case study, which is supported in the Key Resources section by edited lecture transcripts and articles.
