Asian Art Biennial
{{Short description|Contemporary art biennial}}
Asian Art Biennial is a contemporary art biennial organized by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Taiwan. It was first launched in 2007 with the mission to "explore the multiplicity of perspectives that inform contemporary reality" in Asia, to "facilitate intercultural dialogues through art" and to "enhance understanding of cultural perspectives of Asia" and its dynamic artistic creativity.{{Cite web |title=Asian Art Biennial (Taiwan) |url=http://biennialfoundation.dreamhosters.com/biennials/asian-art-biennial-taiwan/ |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=Biennial Foundation |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Asian Art Biennial in Taichung, Taiwan |url=https://universes.art/en/asian-art-biennial |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=universes.art |language=en-US}} The Biennial's first two editions, in 2007 and 2009, were curated by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts chief curator TSAI Chao-Yi.
