About

‘Global Grooves’ explores the integration of Asian art into international networks, from Japanese and Korean participation in Fluxus, psychedelia and minimalism through to the advent of global contemporary art with the biennale-boom of the 1990s and after. The exhibition features new acquisitions and major artists from across Asia and the world.
