Join the Asian Art Museum and Asian Contemporary Art Consortium (ACAC) to kick off the "Day of Dialogue." Artists whose works are included in the "Phantoms of Asia" exhibition (on view at the Asian Art Museum from May 18-September 2, 2012) discuss emerging themes in contemporary art, creating contemporary work for a traditional art museum, and the challenges of producing site-specific work. Panel I is entitled, "Building and Breaking: Considering Tradition in Contemporary Art" wherein artists discuss how their relationships with various Asian artistic traditions inform their artwork. Moderated by Bay Area arts writer and journalist, Glen Helfand, this panel includes Charwei Tsai, Jompet, and Jagannath Panda.
