CONVERSATIONS:
CONTEMPORARY ASIAN ART

Conversations: Contemporary Asian Art offers the Norfolk community an opportunity to view and engage with some of the biggest names in contemporary art. These artists have studios that span the globe and their works have been featured in prominent international exhibitions, both large and small.

Interest in contemporary Asian art, as a subject of study and as a commodity, has grown significantly since the early 2000s. Today, visitors to museums, biennials, and even local art galleries increasingly find the work of artists of Asian heritage. This exhibition brings together ten emerging, mid-career, and highly accomplished artists who work in diverse media, techniques, and styles. The Hermitage is proud to present artworks from contemporary artists from Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea who are exhibiting together for the first time in Norfolk.

Several national and international galleries have been instrumental in working with the Hermitage Museum to shape this exhibition and provide access to multiple artists. Conversations is organized with the assistance of Pace Gallery, Emmanuel Fremin Gallery, Insian Gallery, Lyons Wier Gallery, Leila Heller Gallery, and 33 Orchard Gallery.
