28 leading New York City galleries and museums join forces to present ACAW, an annual citywide event that focuses this year on Asian video art.

A highlight is Fast Futures: Asian Video Art, an exhibition of 35 works drawn from an open call juried by Melissa Chiu (Asia Society Museum Director), Yu Yeon Kim (independent curator) and Barbara London (Museum of Modern Art Curator) to be presented in galleries and museums across New York. Emerging and established artists are included from Turkey, Afghanistan, Dagestan, Japan, India, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Asia Society launches this exciting week on Monday May 22 at 6.30pm with Dialogues in Asian Contemporary Art: Take 4, a panel discussion with leading artist Vivan Sundaram, curators Johan Pijnappel and Barbara London, and moderated by Melissa Chiu. Other events throughout the week include lectures, performances and video screenings.
