The theme for the Third Asia-Pacific Triennial is "Beyond the
Future". It is regarded as a pivot around which ideas can revolve. The
theme was developed after extensive discussion with curators involved
in the selections and those curators have interpreted and approached
the theme in the context of the specific circumstances of the art with
which they have engaged in the region.
The theme also reflects our hope that the Asia-Pacific
Triennial may provide a context to allow us to address issues in art
beyond immediate economic meltdown and political tension. The
Asia-Pacific Triennial has always been more than an art exhibition: it
has among its aims inter-cultural understanding and in particular
increasing knowledge within our own society of the cultures of the
Asia-Pacific region through contemporary art.

"Beyond the Future" is a logical development from the focus of
the First Asia-Pacific Triennial on "Tradition and Change" and of the
Second on "Present Encounters". The theme of the Third Asia-Pacific
Triennial is paradoxical: in many ways a return in full circle to the
issues raised in the First Asia-Pacific Triennial of the place of
tradition and the past in contemporary art and society. For indigenous
peoples in particular, it is important to note that their past is their
future: as Jonathon Mane-Wheoki has cogently observed for Maori, -"The
future is behind us, the past is in front of us". The Third
Asia-Pacific Triennial includes a strong emphasis on artists whose work
crosses many boundaries between craft, tradition and contemporary art.
The theme also takes account of the concern of many artists in the
region today about positively contributing through their creativity to
their communities' surviving the present and constructing new futures.

This will not be an exhibition about artists envisaging their
future in any simplistic globalised or positivist and linear Western
sense: multiple futures have been elements of our approach to the theme.
The Third Asia-Pacific Triennial does include an emphasis on
new media and new components, such as Crossing borders which consists
of artists whose work reflects the globally mobile nature of today's
world, as well as art crossing boundaries through collaborative works,
interdisciplinary approaches such as between art and music, popular
culture, screen culture and new technology. The Virtual Triennial will
be an innovation of the Third Asia-Pacific Triennial, as will a special
exhibition for children - the Kids' Asia-Pacific Triennial.
