Announcing "History of Steel in East Asia"

Mark · 12th April 2006, 03:28 PM

The post about the PI exhibition reminded me that I had not yet made an announcement of this on the forum.

"History of Steel in East Asia" is an exhibition being put on by the Macau Museum of Art, under the direction of Antonio Cejunior. The exhibition will open on May 12, and run until August.

It is composed of five sections, each representing a different region of East Asia: China, Korea, Japan, the Philippine Islands, and Continental Southeast Asia. Shown will be an historical array of weapons from each region. The design of the exhibition is intended not only to place the weapons within the historical and cultural perspective of their respective regions, but also to highlight the relationships and influences between the regions.

The catalogue will be in full color, with comprehensive articles written by experts in the respective areas, for the most part private collectors. It is a unique collaboration of individuals and institutions around the world, including a number of people from the EAA forum (among which I am proud to be counted). The original catalogue will be in three languages (Chinese, Portuguese and English), as is standard for the Museum. An English-only edition is planned, but will depend on finding a reliable distributor.

Antonio has put up an announcement page here. As with the MMA's exhibition Masters of Fire, there will also be an on-line exhibition and website about the show. Here is a thread on Antonio's forum where he has posted a couple draft advertisements for the show.

How can I get a catalogue?

Mark · 12th April 2006, 05:24 PM

You should be able to order the tri-lingual one through the Museum once its out. I don't have details on that, but I can find out how it would work.

The English-only version, should a distributor be found, would be via a difference system that would depend on who was distributing.

I'm really looking forward to this.

If there is no distributor to be found, would it be possible to sell an electronic version of the english version ?

I know that I will want more than one copy of the original catalogue ; one for myself (another proud contributor) and one for investment value .

I finally had a chance to open up my boxes. Everything present and accounted for, and in perfect condition.

Ron, I didn't get any of your stuff.

Hello,

I am just checking in to see when the catalogs will be ready. Is there any updates?

Antonio Cejunior · 3rd October 2006, 11:06 PM

Thank you for checking. Rest assured I'll be the first one to let everyone know.
This delay never happened before in my life. But it is beyond my wish.
Thank you.

Antonio
