Asia Art Archive has continued to expand its repository of materials on recent art being produced in Asia, under the leadership of Ho, who has been in the post since 2021. Its continued engagement with the writing of regional art histories has further cemented the status of the Hong Kong-based nonprofit as the leading resource for Asian art scholars. AAA launched new collections on independent art spaces in Taiwan, as well as the Siu King Chung Archive, which features materials about Hong Kong art and the development of self-organised art practices in particular, from the 1980s to the 2000s. It also opened two research-intensive exhibitions. Another Day in Hong Kong included interviews with over a hundred individuals from Hong Kong’s art community about their recollections of 19 October 1996 (this was identified as being the median day out of all the dates in AAA’s HK-based records). Countering Time, which opened in September, presents new works by Merve Ünsal, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim and Lee Weng Choy, who speculate on the immeasurability of time.
