Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia

Southeast of Now is an online open access journal focused on Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia. It is published by NUS Press in Singapore.

Recently published Volume 4, No 1, March 2020: https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/42136

Southeast of Now aims to look and listen closely to the discursive spaces of art in, from, and around the region that is referred to as Southeast Asia, from a historical perspective. The journal presents a necessarily diverse range of perspectives not only on the contemporary and modern art of Southeast Asia, but indeed of the region itself: its borders, its identity, its efficacy, and its limitations as a geographical marker and a conceptual category. As such, the journal is defined by a commitment to the need for and importance of rigorous discussion, of the contemporary and modern art of the domain that lies south of China, east of India, and north of Australia.

This journal is open access thanks to the support of the Chen Chong Swee Asian Arts Programme at Yale-NUS College and the Foundation for Arts Initiatives.
