ISSN: 1561-1493. "Art Viewpoint ACT" once discussed the politics and tactics of contemporary art action in the 43rd issue of "Curatorial Machine and Biopolitics", especially focusing on the collusion and transcendence of curatorial machine and neo-liberalism or global governance. Continuing this direction, the 47th issue of "Anarchy in East Asia: Artistic Activism and the Rise of the Masses" has been planned for nearly a year, and then expands the vision of this proposition, examining Japan, South Korea, Beijing, Hong Kong, and other anarchism and Art Action's practice network in Taiwan. Through the transnational genealogy of "East Asia", re-understand the composition of contemporary art and cultural subjects, and reverse the domestic reference system that regards the West as "international" for a long time, from direct action, aesthetics and politics, ethics and memory and other investigations, to explore the possibility of the subject of the movement, and to think about how to form a transnational critique and resistance path.
