INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS IN EAST ASIA




25-28 February 2009 Part of the 2009 CAA conference, Los Angeles, California. "The phenomenon 
of international exhibitions can be traced back to the nineteenth century when they were initiated to 
support imperialist and nationalist cultures. Since the late twentieth century, however, globalization 
has contributed to the birth of a number of new international exhibitions in East Asia. Taking the 
formats of biennial or triennial, these lately emerged international exhibitions are reconfiguring 
the relations between East/West, Asian/Global, and Self/Other. From the perspective of globalization 
and nationalism, this session concerns these exhibitions within their individual political, cultural, 
and historical frameworks and in the meantime calls for theoretical, historical and even psychoanalytic
investigations of them. We will ask: How is the idea of nation articulated or re-defined through 
international exhibitions? How do these international exhibitions mobilize new artistic expressions 
and cultural identities? How do they transform the art scene of the Asian world? Proposals should 
be sent by May 9, 2008, to:

VISIONS OF THE BUDDHIST UNIVERSE




June 22, 2007 National Museum, Na Phra That Road, Bangkok, Thailand. "The Map and the 
World: Visions of the Buddhist Universe: Maps, text, and architecture render visible aspects of 
a Buddhist realm. Papers are invited from those working in religion, history, art, and cartography 
that re-examine images of the universe through the lens of Buddhist cosmology. Topics on these and 
other forms expressive of Buddhist spatial concepts will be considered; also welcomed are papers
