ASIA TRIENNIAL MANCHESTER 6: TRANSVALUATION

We’re proud to host ATM6: Transvaluation, bringing together over thirty international artists and collectives across the city.

Since 2008, the Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM) has brought together international artists, audiences and institutions to celebrate Asia through different themes, and explore the complexity of the British Asian diaspora. The starting point of the sixth edition of the Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM6) is an urgent question: How can we reclaim value by withdrawing it from the reductive, quantifying interpretation of the omnipresent neoliberal paradigm, and develop a mode of speculation grounded in other forms of practical experimentation—experiments that, in turn, create space for qualifying new ways of thinking about value and measurement?

The programme explores how value is made, challenged, and reimagined, looking beyond economic systems to new ways of living, relating, and creating meaning.

There is a wide range of exhibitions, screenings, workshops, and events to experience at Manchester Met (Holden Gallery, Modal Gallery, Poetry Library), esea contemporary, HOME, and Manchester Art Gallery.

Highlights include a partner exhibition at esea contemporary, Marcos Kueh: Smooth Sailing, 一路順風, and a special film programme in partnership with HOME, celebrating the work of acclaimed filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang.

ATM6 runs 4 November – 4 December.

We also are hosting Bunker Talk in the Poetry Library on 18th November. Hongjohn Lin who will lead this Bunker Talk is an artist, writer and curator who graduated from New York University in the Arts and Humanities with a PhD. Read more and get your tickets via the link below!
