Asia Art Archive is an independent non-profit organisation co-founded by Claire Hsu and Johnson Chang in 2000 in response to the urgent need to document and make accessible the multiple recent histories of art in the region. AAA is a catalyst for new ideas that enrich our understanding of the world through the collection, creation, and sharing of knowledge around recent art in Asia.
Read MoreWith one of the most valuable growing collections, freely available from our website and onsite library, AAA builds tools and communities to collectively expand knowledge through research, residency, and educational programmes. Our collection comprises a vast range of documentation, including the personal archives of significant artists, educators, and art professionals, as well as key exhibitions and art spaces. Our library houses our physical collection, which encompasses reference books, monographs, exhibition catalogues, periodicals, and rare ephemeral materials.
We activate the collection by organising talks, workshops, conferences, symposia, residencies, and research grants; presenting regular programming and partnering with arts initiatives; creating teaching resources and partnering with educational institutions to look at how art is taught; and by commissioning and publishing essays and conversations. These programmes and partnerships generate new ideas and connections that fuel future collections and projects.
As AAA celebrates its twentieth anniversary, we are grateful for everyone’s continued support in making a more generous art history possible.
