In Absence and in Presence features more than 70 works across painting, sculpture, photography, video, and textile by 28 artists, the exhibition marks the largest international presentation of the Collection in Asia. Curated around the concept of land as seen through the perspectives of artists from West Asia, South Asia, Africa, and their diasporas, the exhibition follows some of the unique trajectories of artistic practice and experiments in these regions from the 1950s to the present. Seminal modern works are brought into dialogue with contemporary practices, foregrounding the artistic lineages, resonances and continuities that connect generations and situate contemporary art within a deeper historical framework. The exhibition is one of the first institutional efforts in China to survey artistic practices across these interconnected regions.
