The New Century has begun with many challenges and changes, accelerated and dramatized by a frenetic globalization that has created instant connectivity across the globe.
In this scenario, the world stage is experiencing a major shift, mostly due to the rise of many fast-developing Countries and new Superpowers from Asia.
East and West are interconnected like never before, creating new areas of competition but also of collaboration: a relationship controversial at times but exciting as well. There is still a mix of curiosity and diffidence between the two ends of the World but yet so much they respectively need to learn from each other.
Asia is an incredibly diverse cultural environment that is experiencing dynamic and new ways of expressing their millennial heritage: most of this Vanguard and of the artists at the forefront of Asian contemporary art is not completely known in the West.
‘We Are Not That Far’ has the purpose to show the bold, innovative edge of the most accomplished and renowned contemporary Asian artists at Salmagundi, one of the oldest and most prestigious art organization in New York and therefore in America.
A visually striking experience for all the art lovers who are looking for the thrill and the excitement of rediscovering the essence of Art.
