The symposium was warmly received and brought together an important group of scholars and researchers, including Yin Ker, David Teh, Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol, Iola Lenzi, Simon Soon, Sarena Abdullah, Liang Jing, Worathep Akkabootara, Kornphanat Tungkeunkunt, Apiradee Charoensenee, Isara Choosri, Sheryl Gwee, Onpimon Imsumran, and Maythawee Holasut.
The symposium allowed us to think through Tang Chang’s work from multiple perspectives and demonstrated the many possibilities through which a single artist can be studied, interpreted, and situated within broader discussions of art, literature, philosophy, and modernism.
More importantly, the symposium demonstrated how essential research and scholarly exchange are to the future of an artist’s estate. For the Tang Chang's Estate, symposiums, discussions, and academic collaborations are not supplementary activities surrounding the artworks; they are part of the core infrastructure through which knowledge is produced, expanded, and sustained.
