Coming to Tokyo: 3331 Arts Chiyoda presents the major exhibition Muntadas: Asian Protocols. Asian Protocols is a three-part project focused on Japan, China and South Korea, reflecting not only on their similarities and differences but also their conflicts. Presented for the first at the Total Museum in Seoul in August 2014, this second installment will feature work shown in the Seoul exhibition in addition to new works shown for the first time. A third exhibition in Beijing is planned in the near future. In Tokyo, Asian Protocols includes a series of roundtable events illuminating a broad range of themes relating to “protocols.”
“Private and public protocols organize and define society and our lives. They generate a set of regulations that exercise a sustained influence over our private as well as over our public behavior. Rituals, conventions, rules─protocols cover a variety of procedures and, in one way or another, they attempt to use, define, control or exercise power”.
Muntadas, 2006
