|  Stay With the Ancient Tao, Move With the Present 執古之道 以御今之有 Look, it cannot be seen - it is beyond form. Listen, it cannot be heard - it is beyond sound. Grasp, it cannot be held - it is intangible.
These three are indefinable; Therefore they are joined in one.
From above it is not bright; From below it is not dark:
An unbroken thread beyond description.
It returns to nothingness. The form of the formless,
The image of the imageless, It is called indefinable and beyond imagination.
Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present. ---Tao Te Ching Chapter 14 _________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Present Contemporary Art Dream in a Contemporary Secret Garden: Mixed Media Works by 24 Asian Artists Chelsea Art Museum April 9-May 18, 2009 Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in NY May 6 -June 5, 2009 Elga Wimmer Gallery May 13-June 25, 2009 THE Gallery at Papoo's April 30 -May 30, 2009 ACAW 2009

Gardens are realms of longing, both spiritually and physically, and one expects them to be pleasant, visually colorful, or playful. These qualities and other more surprising ones are evinced in the work of these 24 Asian artists who challenge the mainstream culture discourse that relegates Asian contemporary art to a curiosity. Their collective oeuvre elucidates the diversity of experiences and culture that may be grouped together under the rubric of Asian contemporary art, Gardens change according to the season and as a result of human involvement. They are moving landscapes, and children’s wonderlands, where fairy tales start.
