Asia Art Archive

Asia is a continent that holds many cultures, languages, and traditions, and one would expect the luxury hotels to be enormous in variety, but extremely high in quality.  It is certainly the case that our hotels set a very high standard, and raise the bar for accommodations in the world.  With a splendid combination of tradition and innovation, the hotels are always designed for rejuvenating the mind and the senses.  There is an enormous range of culinary delights available in every hotel, and some of the world’s finest chefs create new recipes and perfect traditional foods.  While relaxing and getting away from it all are high priorities, there are also top of the line technologies here, making sure that your ability to connect to the world at large will be continuous.  There are also excellent in-room entertainments, and the whole family will find something to love here.

Asia is a fascinating continent, with its many regions and cultures in various states of flux.  There are some recent developments in the global art world that make it suddenly much smaller, and Asia is revealing itself as a place not only of enormous tradition, but of enormous creativity.  Some of the most cutting-edge work in the world is being made by the artists in various parts of Asia.  There is an overall tendency to take into account the enormous variety of art from the classical era, and to recreate the work, and often with irony, in new manifestations that suggest new directions of thought and action.  It is extremely difficult, however, to generalize Asia’s constantly shifting movements, but there are attempts to cultivate understanding.  One of these is the Asia Art Archive Research Grant.

This award has a very impressive monetary payment, which is intended to fund works carried out in Asia over the year.  The award is just one of the many interesting programs carried out by the Asia Art Archive.  This group, based in Hong Kong, is devoted to the collection and promotion of information about Asian art in the world, with the intention to create dialogue across disciplines and across borders.  Its collection is one of the most comprehensive in the world.
