The phrase "global contemporary art" has been used by art theorists and institutions to describe our current period of artistic production, as so many works transgress national and regional boundaries.  As such, categories like Asian art can only make sense historically, because Asian art is seemingly bound to a time when Asia was a self-contained entity.  Is the term "Asian art" still useful for art made now?  For this assignment, select a work of art produced in Asia in the last ten years, and, in a composition of 250+ words, talk about the extent to which it both is and is not Asian.  Include a one-sentence thesis statement that encapsulates and concludes your discussion, and organize paragraphs to support this claim.  Also identify the object using the standard parameters of the class (artist name, title, date, materials, dimensions, and collection site)
