The Asia Art Triennial returns to Manchester for the second time, involving many of Manchester’s visual arts venues, as well as the John Rylands Library and the Cathedral. It’s a curious event, loosely curated to showcase contemporary visual art made by Asian artists or artists with Asian heritage, but somehow this is both too open and too specific to create genuine cultural dialogue. As a triennial it is not coherent enough; though in the individual venue programmes there is much to enjoy.
