Moving on Asia , Towards a New Art Network 2004-2013

Seoul’s Gallery Loop houses the Moving on Asia collection of Asian video art—hundreds of single-channel videos selected by the Asia Curators Network. It is the centrepiece of Loop’s programme of exhibitions, events, and publications promoting artistic exchange in and beyond Asia.

The show features forty-five works from the collection, and is divided into three instalments: New Town Ghosts (22 February–24 March), Movement No. 2 (25 March–21 April), and Who Cares About the Future? (22 April–3 June).

Made In Company’s Physique of Consciousness (2011) sets the tone for the second instalment, Movement No. 2. A middle-aged instructor presents a series of exercises to improve physical and cultural fitness. The routine combines movements drawn from different cultures and ideologies, promoting commonality over historical difference. This instalment stresses that unilateral belief systems, established boundaries, and traditional cultural obligations are no longer fixed.

The project also includes an Artist Focus section, highlighting major artists, and special screenings focusing on the activities of Hanoi Doclab and the Bangkok Experimental Film Festival—small, mobile artist collectives with strong political and social agendas. The complete Moving on Asia digital collection is also available for user-directed viewing.
