CASE STUDIES Central Asian Project (Central Asia/UK)
Alexander Ugay Visiting Arts supported the Central Asian Project which was a unique collaboration between Central Asia and the UK, dedicated to forging new links between the art communities in both regions through residencies, cultural exchanges and exhibitions. Jointly organised by AsiaArt+ (Almaty, Kazakhstan), Cornerhouse (Manchester) and SPACE (London) Central Asian Project showed simultaneously at Cornerhouse and SPACE in February 2007, before touring Central Asia. The project provided a unique insight into Central Asia, as well as giving a new perspective on British cultural identity, exploring how personal and national identities are created through landscape, culture, history and politics, whilst challenging the prejudices and preconceptions held between two the cultures. Showcasing work from UK artists and some of the most influential Central Asian artists practicing today, the project drew attention to the similarities and differences between culture and contemporary art in both these regions of the world.
