The exhibition Under My Skin selected five artists from the hundreds who had undertaken Asialink Artists Residencies in Asia over the 20 years of the program, to reflect the influence and variety of that experience on their work – how the experience had got ‘under their skin’. Each of the five disparate artists (who had been to the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, India, Singapore and Korea) reveal a unique understanding of the worlds in which they were immersed, worlds unknowable to the passing tourist or the casual observer. The exhibition attracted over 14,000 visitors. In Seoul it was part of Platform Seoul 2009 a major annual international art event, directed and curated by Kim Sun Jung, who had been involved with the earlier Asialink projects, Tracey Moffatt (1999) and Unhomely (1998).
