The UK's only Asian Art Triennial opens 1 October - 27
November 2011 in Manchester, showcasing exciting current
contemporary visual art and craft from Asia.
Initiated by Shisha, Asia Triennial Manchester 11 (ATM11) is a
festival of visual culture featuring exhibitions, commissions and
interventions by international and UK artists exploring the theme
of Time and Generation, presenting new site-specific work alongside
work not seen before in the UK, and challenging stereotypical
viewpoints of contemporary Asian artistic practice.
Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM) is conceived by Shisha, the UK's
international agency for contemporary South Asian crafts and visual
arts, in partnership with Bury Art Gallery, Castlefield Gallery,
Chinese Arts Centre, Cornerhouse, Cube, The International 3,
Jodrell Bank, John Rylands Library, MadLab, Manchester Art Gallery,
Manchester Cathedral, Manchester Craft & Design Centre,
Manchester Museum, Manchester Metropolitan University, People's
History Museum and The Whitworth Art Gallery.
Asia Triennial Manchester will also feature as one of the
highlights of this year's Manchester Weekender: forty-eight hours
of art, culture, music, film, food, literature, walks, politics,
poetry, photography, theatre, spectacle and games all wrapped up
into a single weekend on 14-16 October.
