EXHIBITIONS: Asian art is all the rage, but at Asia Society, it's always in the limelight. With some of the brightest curatorial stars on staff, our exhibitions give you an insider's look at both the classical and the cutting edge in Asian art. As cosponsors of next week's Asian Contemporary Art Week, we introduce The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros, a Filipino film with a gay, preteen protagonist, directed by Auraeus Solito who was recently named Best Director at ImaginNative Film and Media Festival.
