3rd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 2005
The Fukuoka Triennale is a large-scale international exhibition held every three years to introduce the most up-to-date movements of Asian contemporary art The exhibition follows on from the activities of the Fukuoka Art Museum, which had introduced Asian art for over 20 years, hosting the pioneering exhibition, 'Asian Art Show' every five years.

The 1st Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 1999 was held with the theme of 'Communication: Channels for Hope’ and marked the opening of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The 2nd Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 2002 took as its theme: “Imagined Workshop” and highlighted the tangibility of works made through collaboration and high skill craftsmanship. Both exhibitions were well received as shows dynamically introduced different facets of Asian art, exhibiting works reflecting society at the turn of the century, by both Japanese and international art related people.

For further progress, standing on the shoulders of previous exhibitions, the 3rd Fukuoka Triennale will find a new direction in Asian art by carefully selecting the most promising artists from 21 countries and regions in Asia under the theme “Parallel Realities: Asian Art Now”. Before and during the triennale, artists from Asian countries will be invited to Fukuoka for the live and dynamic art exchange programs with people in Fukuoka presenting workshops, performances, lectures and making artworks.
