Asia’s importance to, and infl uence on, South Australia continues to increase.

Our nation’s top four export markets are now China, Japan, Korea, and India, and our commercial, cultural and creative ties grow stronger with each passing year.

As we enter the second decade of the "Asian century", we again look forward to our exemplary Festival that offers invaluable insights and even greater understanding of the extraordinary diversity and dynamism that characterises contemporary Asia.

Having won admiration and recognition nationally and overseas, the Adelaide Festival Centre’s fi fth OzAsia Festival once more promises to entertain, challenge and invite valuable cross-cultural dialogue.

OzAsia Festival has grown to become a not-to-be-missed event on our Festival calendar, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Five years ago, when the idea of an Asian-Australian arts festival was born, we set down a few key objectives.

Our aims were to attract the best artists, to make Adelaide Festival Centre the performance hub, to create a true community-based event, and to present the cultures of our neighbouring countries through the arts.

In 2011, I’m delighted that the enormous potential of OzAsia Festival has been realised and that the Festival is developing a global reputation for excellence.

I’m especially pleased that the culturally diverse communities of South Australia – and the people of this State generally – have embraced OzAsia Festival and made it their own.

Some of the overseas students that study in Adelaide have also taken part in the Festival, which is a terrifi c way of getting them involved in the life of our city.

I commend this year’s program to one and all.

The 2011 OzAsia Festival program highlights Japan with the presentation of Continent, Shugo Tokumaru and Cool Wise Man and Australian-Japanese artistic collaborations: Dreamscape, Four Winds and KOAN. We have the Japanese Film Festival for the fi rst time in Adelaide and OzAsia On Screen returns at Mercury Cinema. From China the stunning production of Rhinoceros in Love presented in partnership with Brisbane and Melbourne Festivals; and Shaolin Warriors.

Music lovers will enjoy: Raga Shambhala, and Shaun Tan’s The Arrival. On the food front, we have a delectable evening with FEAST by design and of course, our annual, much-loved Moon Lantern Festival. And Jason Yat Sen Li’s keynote address with the Hawke Centre on Australian Fusion: imagining our Eurasian Future is sure to spark robust dialogue. I’m thrilled about our new partnerships with the Samstag Museum, Art Gallery of SA and CACSA and the new work by local artists In Lieu.

I welcome all the artists, sponsors and audiences to share in this year’s OzAsia Festival and invite you all to enjoy its cultural offerings.

Many describe the 21st century as the Asian Century.

China is already Australia’s largest export market and our economic prosperity is also inextricably tied to the dynamic Asian economies of India, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Indeed, Australia hardly faltered during the GFC, buoyed by the voracious Chinese demand for minerals and energy.

But strategically and socio–politically, how comfortable is Australia today within Asia?

Do we align ourselves too closely to the United States and Western Europe whose markets, culture and institutions dominate our headlines and our consciousness? How serious are we about including more of our own diverse Asian population in our parliaments, our boardrooms, our judiciary, our media and our sporting teams?

What might be Australia’s place in Asia as the region surges in economic, strategic and cultural power?

And what might be Asia’s place in Australia, such that we may enjoy continuing prosperity, peace, optimism and a sense of belonging?

This address will probe the potential of a Eurasian-minded future for Australia – a confi dent, expansive and inclusive future for all – if we are prepared to embrace it.

Not surprisingly, he’s rejected when he confesses his love. Takuro fi rmly believes the reason for his rejection is his looks.

krishna andvisions of sri nathji:

expressions in clay:

Indian temple paintings from the collection of Barrie and Judith Heaven

125 years of Japanese ceramics

Adelaide Festival Centre in association with Th e Art Gallery of South Australia present

Featuring works of monumental scale, Krishna and visions of Sri Nathji is a special display of Indian temple paintings (pichwai) borrowed from a major Australian private collection depicting devotional images of Lord Krishna. The fabric hangings adorned temples in Rajasthan and were intended for display during festivals and major occasions.

The exhibition includes rarely exhibited ceramics which highlight the skill and uncanny ability of Japanese artists to create objects which inhabit the realms of utility and beauty simultaneously. From the restrained elegance and rusticity of Vase by Hamada Shoji (1894-1978) inspired by regional designs

and a reaction to mass production, to the exuberant Teapot with lid which depicts fi ve familiar faces in Japanese folklore, Expressions in Clay will display the many faces of Japanese ceramics created during a period of constant economic and social upheaval which inspired ceramic innovation.

Masato Takasaka’s art centres on seizing whatever everyday material and objects are at hand and confi guring something ‘new’, an idea remade. Takasaka has said his artwork is made up from “good ideas going nowhere. Does that make sense?”.

AKIRA AKIRA (Melbourne)

MASATO TAKASAKA (Melbourne)

KOJI RYUI (Sydney)

Adelaide Festival Centre and the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (CACSA) present

Akira Akira presents various sculptural forms that incorporate both ‘found’ and constructed elements in their materiality. These sculptural forms primarily emerge from the mixture of specifi c construction processes, particular materials, and found geometries.

Koji Ryui makes ephemeral sculptures from found commonplace materials. Ryui playfully unfolds structural and sculptural possibilities of things that are overlooked in our everyday environment.

Akira, Takasaka and Ryui are three Australian based artists with Japanese heritage.

Independent of their “Japanese-ness”, the works of these artists sit together comfortably, in their exploration of the object’s physical matter.
