Right as right, as right side, right as conservative, Yin and Yang, dichotomy, right to do so, the unofficial, fundamental normative rules. The works of 41 artists in this years Austro Sino Arts Program exhibition are not to be interpreted as "Western art presented in China". Many of these works were made here in China. The artists made China just as well their home as the place they originate from. This year, ASAP introduces an indoor and outdoor exhibition curated by Lukas Birk and Karel Dudesek supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture and the Austrian Cultural Forum Beijing. Indoor Opening: October 13, 2012, 4 -8pm Location: Hong Studio, Diplomatic Compound 10-2-43, Sanlitun Dongsanjie, Beijing Publication: a 245 page catalogue will be published Contact: beijing@austrosinoartsprogram.org Indoor exhibition at Hong Studio, Beijing: In this year's 4th exhibition, "The Embassy of the Arts" shows artists from Austria, Canada, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, France, Spain and the USA.

Outdoor exhibition Left/Right works by over 20 artists will be released into public space from Hangzhou to Beijing. Wallpaper on the way—representing the idea of a wider context for public inspiration through art works. In China, art in public space is hardly known besides the display of history related objects, patriotic sculptures and monuments decorating parks and squares. Contemporary art rarely leaves galleries or museums whereas, in the West, art in public space is a common form of expression. ASAP will select spaces and place sequences of art there. This process will be captured and feed into the virtual space.
