Join the New York chapter of ARLIS/NA for a visit to the Asia Art Archive in America. This program will welcome new and returning visitors to Asia Art Archive in America for a tour of our reading room collection and current exhibition, Zine* Together. We will share information on the history of Asia Art Archive and how to navigate our physical and digital resources.
Zine* Together is the first exhibition of its kind to examine Asian American zines not only as objects, but as actions—creative, collective, and relational. Drawing from Asia Art Archive in America’s Reading Room collection, this exhibition highlights collaboratively produced zines from 2010 to the present, alongside newly commissioned projects and prompts that trace zine-making as a mode of shared authorship and community building. Zine* Together, itself a collaborative project, is organized by Claire Kim, Susanna Chang, Sarula Bao, Michelle Yee, Elizabeth Chung, Mary Y. Yang, Chen Luo, and Tasnima Tanzim.
Since 2000, AAA has been collecting primary and secondary materials surrounding recent art in Asia and our growing Research and Library Collections now contain over 120,000 records, ranging from publications and ephemera to correspondence, photographic documentation, and video recordings. To facilitate access and improve the user experience, AAA updates features on the digital platform, making sure these valuable resources remain available to users worldwide.
If you have any questions about the visit, feel free to reach out to Bridget O’Keefe, Programming Coordinator at bridget_okeefe@moma.org
