> A number of recent projects have begun to trouble the distinction between
> art and design. When seen in and from Asia, not only do the two begin to
> blur, they also raise questions about the usual procedures brought to
> their
> study. Asian objects do not always conform to the normal theories and
> methods of art and design history. They can therefore trouble the
> assumptions of the latter in interesting and productive ways.

>
> This two-day event will explore new work in Asian art and design and
> discuss its implications for the practice of art and design history. The
> event has been kindly sponsored by and is organized in collaboration with
> Osaka University.
