Asia Contemporary Art Week (ACAW)'s annual signature forum, FIELD MEETING Take 4: Thinking Practice curated by ACAW Director Leeza Ahmady, was hosted at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Asia Society on November 11 and 12, 2016. With more than 30 artists and arts professionals based in the U.S, Asia, and beyond staging newly-conceived performances and lecture-performances, and generating lively discussions for an audience of 500 U.S.-based curators, scholars, and museum professionals, this two-day art forum emulates the experience of a studio visit on a larger, communal scale.
