The third issue in the Inter-Asia Woodcut Mapping series focuses on the idea of "institution" as to explore the relationship between self-organized practice and official institution. In the context of contemporary art, the term institution generally refers to art galleries, exhibitions, or art organizations run by the government or large-scale capital. Yet, from a conceptual level, it can also refer to a way of organization or existing ideologies that constructs intangible power in the society. Here, is the self-organized woodcut practice and "institution“ an absolute binary relationship, or is it complementing each other?
