In response to the current moment — both nationally and globally — the [Asia Society Triennial](http://bit.ly/2NFZD0n?ref=hyperallergic.com)’s mission is to connect cultures and inspire visitors through the arts.

This second installment of the Triennial, titled *We Do Not Dream Alone*, brings together a diverse range of artists showcasing a multitude of perspectives that highlight Asia’s rich contribution to the canon of contemporary art. The exhibition comprises more than 30 works — over half of which are new commissions — across the mediums of painting, sculpture, installation, video, and performance.

Among these commissions is an immersive virtual reality experience by Shanghai-based artist [Lu Yang](http://bit.ly/3cbIpla?ref=hyperallergic.com), as well as an installation of hand-thrown terra-cotta and white clay vases modeled after Hellenistic urns by [Reza Aramesh](http://bit.ly/3cUdWHu?ref=hyperallergic.com). 

Visitors will also experience new works such as a photograph series by New Delhi-based multimedia artist [Vibha Galhotra](http://bit.ly/3sd47uy?ref=hyperallergic.com) exploring issues of sustainability and food systems, and an interactive work byidentical twin artists, [Mountain River Jump!](http://bit.ly/314sNcO?ref=hyperallergic.com) (Huang Shan + Huang He) merging the traditional Chinese practice of divination with contemporary technology. 

Another highlight is an outdoor sculpture installation on Park Avenue at 70th Street by Chinese artist [Xu Zhen](http://bit.ly/2PjtvAk?ref=hyperallergic.com) titled "Eternity — Male Figure, Statue of Venus Genetrix." The sculpture comprises an inverted replica of an eleventh-century figure from Cambodia that is part of the [Asia Society Museum Collection](http://bit.ly/392swve?ref=hyperallergic.com), angled on top of a replica of a second-century Roman figure of Venus Genetrix that is in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum. The installation, which will be on view through June 27, 2021, when Part 2 closes, is undertaken in partnership with the Fund for Park Avenue under the auspices of the NYC Parks, Art in the Parks program.
