Dogs of War - They’ve been locked in battle for more than a hour in the fighting pits of Dongguan, China. Coats congealed in blood, ribs heaving with sweat. Gargoyle heads and pit-bull teeth puncture rows of flesh as systematically as a sewing machine. Illegal in China but authorities turn a blind eye as money exchanges hands and blood starts to flow.
Culture of Killing - The atrocities inflicted upon dogs and cats slaughtered for human consumption in China and Korea are shockingly cruel. Dogs are strung up by their necks and beaten violently in order to increase the flow of adrenaline in their flesh, which is believed to increase the virility of men who eat it. Cats are often boiled alive in order to extract their “juices ” for the use in medicinal “tonics” .

Asian Art Archive
Interview with Antony Yung, Project Coordinator at the Asian Art Archive.
Throughout the 80’s China’s art-scene was heavily involved with political and social movements and focused on transforming conventions. After The Tianmen Square incident mass movements were replaced with individuals whom often had no direct political or social goal. How do you explain these shifts? In the 80’s, artists were very passionate about Western philosophies and involved with big issues and existential questions. These days there is more interest in the change and globalization of Chinese society and the consumption and pop-culture this is creating. This is why currently most artists in China show their personal and local experience.
What is the relationship between China’s artists and Western investors? China has no system for supporting artists at all. For this reason and to fund their projects Chinese artists are largely dependant on the Western art-market. There is a discussion going in the Chinese art-scene about how dependent Chinese artists should be on the Western market and how much this should influence the art-scene in China. A lot of artists who use 
Chinese icons and icons of communism have sold well with Western collectors and became very successful. The new generation of artist often feel they have nothing in common with the ideas and icons of their predecessors. But they do depend on a Western market in which there is a high demand for ‘typical Chinese’ works. Although today the market is shifting with Chinese investors emerging and the ‘Chinese art-hype’ cooling down due to the financial crisis, the issue about market dependency remains a current one.
What is the purpose of the Asian Art Archive? The AAA comes forth from a practical need; to create a discourse in the Asian art-scene documentation and research is needed. The AAA wants to provide this function and stores every sort of document about Asian art without discrimination. It doesn’t strive for any other perspective than to be an objective resource for research.
