Ashley Rawlings is a Paris-based writer and translator specializing in postwar Japanese and Korean art, with a focus on the Mono-ha and Dansaekhwa movements. His writing explores the transnational histories of these avant-garde practices, their conceptual foundations, and the evolving histories of iterative site-specific artworks.
Over the past decade, Rawlings has published extensively on artists such as Kishio Suga and Ha Chong-hyun, contributing to books, catalogues, and anthologies that have helped to expand the understanding of their work in an international context.
His research on Kishio Suga has led to collaborations on exhibitions at institutions such as Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, Museum Cobra in Amstelveen, and the Dia Art Foundation in New York.
He is currently at work on a monograph dedicated to Suga.
