The final report, Mediating the Mekong, for the Martell Contemporary Asian Art Research Grant 2005, has been completed and delivered to the Asia Art Archive and is now available for download from the AAA website. I would like to thank the Asia Art Archive and the artists, curators and arts organizations that have generously contributed their knowledge, advice and honest opinion to this report.

Just this week, artists from over 12 nations met in Ho Chi Minh City for the Performance Art Conference, including artists from Myanmar and Thailand. And on Sunday, Nicolas Mesterharm (Director of Meta.House in Phnom Penh) will arrive to discuss the InterCity project. The organization of international and trans-regional arts Mekong-based projects continues to expand - which makes it difficult to find a sense of completion in the report. It's like seeing a baby off to college.
