ABOUT DAAN:
Diasporic Asian Art Network (DAAN) is a newly created, informal network of
scholars, curators, arts writers, and graduate students interested in Asian American
art and art history. Its inaugural meeting was held during the College Art
Association convention in Los Angeles, California on Friday, February 27, 2009.
Annual meetings will be held at CAA, in recognition of that organizationʼs pivotal
role as a national and international venue for professionals in the arts.
The purpose of this proposed network is to share ideas and information,
both about our own projects and about the work of others in the United
States and abroad, toward advancing new research, critical writing, and
curatorial efforts involving modern and contemporary Asian American/Asian
diasporic art and visual culture.
The “Diasporic Asian Art Network” (DAAN) hopes to encourage a broader
transnational and trans-diasporic as well as domestic orientation. Whereas
ʻAsian Americanʼ does refer specifically to the American, read U.S. experience,
the network situates within the Asian diaspora, bringing the discussion to a ʻglobalʼ
level that includes Asian American art. In our view, the American situation can only
be invigorated and enriched by working with other Asian diasporas.
There has already been preliminary interest expressed by one group, the Asian
Australian Studies Research Network (http://www.asianaustralianstudies.org/
ARC2008/index.html), in hosting a website where members of this network can
potentially post a link. One component of their research is a comparative study of
developments in Asian American and Asian Australian visual art since the 1990s.
While this network and its activities might take many forms, our initial plan is to
create a website, hosted by New York Universityʼs Asian/Pacific/American
Institute, that will act as a public forum for information exchange. The postings
can include links to individual and institutional web pages, announcements of
exhibitions and new publications, listings of conferences and calls for papers, jobs,
grants, and other opportunities of relevance to DAAN members.
This is an especially exciting moment to consider such an initiative, in light of the
proliferation of exhibitions, books, dissertations, and articles on Asian American and
Asian diasporic art and art history in the past decade alone. The recent staging of
a major art historical survey exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco,
and the concurrent publication of the edited volume, Asian American Art: A History,
1850-1970 (Stanford University Press, 2008), are important results of foundational
research now being done on this subject. Likewise the breadth of new critical
writing on Asian American art reflects a host of interdisciplinary approaches that
are reshaping discourse in this field.
