The Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong, where Ho is director, continues cataloguing and promoting the art history of the continent, from major cultural trends and the papers of individual artists to obscure subcultures in danger of being lost to time. One recent research programme, made public through talks and symposia, took Southeast Asian women artists as the subject; another looked to the small magazines of 1960s Gujarat, the result of an AAA grant to researcher Pankti Desai. Exhibitions included the archives of New Delhi sculptor Mrinalini Mukherjee and The Collective School, in collaboration with ruangrupa’s Gudskul. While John Tain, who helped establish the reach of the archive as head of research, has recently left to curate the forthcoming Lahore Biennial, Ho continues to be flanked by curator Özge Ersoy and researcher Anthony Yung’s longtime work with the archive. Meanwhile AAA’s American offshoot moved into new Brooklyn premises, where artist Naeem Mohaiemen takes up the semiannual artist-in-residence.
