This February, culture360.org announces the first Asia-Europe film context to mark the occasion of ASEF's 15th Anniversary.
Filmmakers and film enthusiasts from Asia and Europe are invited to submit short films up to 3 min that express their views on the relations between both regions. Deadline for submissions is April 9, 2012.


Also this month, our Asia Editor Sali Sasaki reports on the
Triangle conference that took place in December in London, to explore the very raison d’être of art networks, their assets, as well as their current struggle for survival.

Finally, Katerina Valdivia Bruch features the exhibition The Global Contemporary – Art Worlds after 1989. With more than hundred participating artists and a number of parallel events, this ambitious project by ZKM – Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe attempts to show a compendium of contemporary art in a global context.
