YPAM Direction

YPAM (formerly TPAM) Direction has taken many forms since 2011, from experiments by emerging presenters to presentation of Asian works in collaboration with guest directors, as well as international co-productions and commissions. This year, it relaunches as a forum consisting of informal presentations of experimental projects and discussion. In this first edition, YPAM invites three colleagues who have developed innovative artist lab programs in Taipei, Singapore, and Bangkok during the 2010s and 2020s. These “supporters,” together with artists whose projects provide a catalyst for discussion as well as attendees, will thoroughly explore what it means to create works in Asia today, the methodologies involved, and the present understanding of the very notion of “work” from professional points of view. Open to YPAM registrants only. Advance reservation required, with limited capacity. Sessions will be conducted in English without interpretation.
