The Present State of Art in Japan/Asia: Perspectives from Market Finance
supported by Deloitte
- Partner's Talk
- Speakers: Vivienne Chow, Alan Lau, and Terase Yuki
The word “art” is derived from the Latin term ars, which originally meant skill or technique. Today, fields such as visual arts, crafts, and design are treated as distinct disciplines, yet they all share a common foundation in techniques and aesthetics developed by people throughout history. While examining how traditional techniques and ideas are preserved, developed, and interpreted from different perspectives in order to adapt them for the future, this talk will explore the aesthetics of “legacy and change” that underpin diverse elements shaping our surroundings and culture, from traditional through to innovative aspects.
Speakers:
Vivienne Chow (London Correspondent and Co-author, The Asia Pivot, Artnet)
Alan Lau (Vice-Chair, M+ / Chair, ParaSite / Co-Chair, Tate Asia Acquisition Committee / Co-Chair, Guggenheim AAC)
Terase Yuki (Founding Partner, Art Intelligence Global)
