It takes some restraint not to reach out and touch the art when walking through a Kohei Nawa exhibition. From the stuffed animals covered in glass bubbles in his 'PixCell' series to the polished, futuristic blades of Throne, and the voluptuous objects coated in bedazzled grains from his "Particle" series, these sculptures have tactile...

With dark-and-bright contrasts throughout, young local painter Jwa Haesun's portraits of ordinary people remind us of our own memories of numerous overlooked encounters.

Visitors to the sixth edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, which runs through Saturday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, will encounter a huge table with its circular, metal top slowly rotating.

Designed by the Chinese collective MouSen+MSG, the structure is titled The Great Chain of Being – Planet Trilogy  (2016), and you can actually venture inside...

A case can be made that the Shanghai Biennale, widely regarded as a perfunctory affair, too disorganized and lackluster to justify its existence, now has the potential to intelligently introduce international contemporary art into a scene until recently dominated by Chinese art. And this year, that goal seems within reach, under the curatorial...

In the two years since the last biennale, Shanghai has worked hard to consolidate its cultural position as an influential art hub in Asia – a place where contemporary art is important, relevant and available. For the 11th edition of the Shanghai Biennale, the choice of the the Delhi-based artist and curatorial group Raqs Media Collective...

In the Chinese philosophical system known as feng shui, literally wind and water, qi, the metaphysical force of unity, is carried and dispersed on the wind. Water brings qi to rest.

Stainless steel tiffin carriers, brass water utensils, and bicycles are collected en masse and transformed into minimalistic, universalist...

The compact, two-room presentation intelligently focuses on Malani’s singular video-art practice. It is a simultaneous elaboration on, and simplification of, the medium that the artist began working with in the early 2000s, having largely abandoned painting in oil on canvas during India’s tumultuous 1990s in favour of a medium she felt...

A strong lineup of art shows are being offered this fall, more so than other seasons. With two big biennale events – the Gwangju Biennale and Busan Biennale – kicking off last week, major Korean museums and galleries have opened a plethora of exhibitions to attract the influx of international art professionals and local art lovers.

Artist Nalini Malani's exhortations to address violence are particularly poignant after this month's tragedies.
