It wasrealised that this can be achieved by means of a gathe ring of a rtistsand art experts from the ASEAN countries.
The project was based on the proposal by Malaysia for anASEAN Art Collect ion and Tha iland's proposal for a Forum on
Aesthetics and Workshop in Visual Arts.
The pro ject was intended to enhance the recognition of ident ity
in aesthetics in visual art related to the role of art ists, educators,writers, critics and the art public ; and to share creative experienceamong artists from the ASEAN region.
It serves as cultural documentation of paintings and pri nts re lated to ar t works by ASEAN artists , forming a bas is for an ASEAN
Art Collection in each of the membe r countries .
Persuant to the decision made at the Twentieth Meeting of theASEAN Committee on Culture and Informat ion in Bangkok , Tha iland on 19-22 June 1989, the Preparatory Meeting of Experts pro posed that the First ASEAN Symposium on Aesthet ics , Workshopand Exhibition be convened in Kuala Lumpur on 8-10 August 1989.

The exhibition by 12 ASEAN artists who participated in theworkshop was held in the Main Exhibition Hall of the National
Art Gallery from 9-27 October 1989. Every artist brought works
previously done and later added new works made during theworkshop.
It is hoped the symposium and workshop will continue todevelop into a series of similar activities which will help to enhanceawareness and understanding of visual art in ASEAN countries at
all levels from the layman to the highest academic level.
This gathering of experts , with exchange of ideas will further
enrich documentation of information , data and views on the visual
art heritage, the state of contemporary expression , and strategies
taken in the development of visual art in ASEAN countries. The
publication of papers , journal and books will enrich literature on
the study of ASEAN art.
The ASEAN Art Collection should provide awareness of thedynamic creativity by ASEAN artists. The display of plastic visual
manifestations reflect the natural abundance , climatic environment, history , cu lture, faith , philosophy , and influences-expressed
through a rich tapestry of form , pattern , line, texture , coloursymbolising tradition as the roots of inspiration .
