July 15, 2014—Sundaram Tagore Gallery brings together emerging and established artists from Thailand and Singapore in Anthropos New York. Photography, painting, sculpture, video and mixed-media installations by twelve artists exploring the human condition will be on view. Curated by Loredana Pazzini-Paracciani, Anthropos New York offers insight into the social, political and religious dynamics artists are confronting in these two diverse cultures.
This large-scale exhibition, on view concurrently at the gallery’s Chelsea and Madison Avenue locations, offers a rare opportunity to see work by some of Southeast Asia’s most innovative artists.
FROM THAILAND: Chatchai Puipia, Chusak Srikwan, Kamin Lertchaiprasert, Kamolpan Chotvichai, Nino Sarabutra, Piyatat Hemmatat and Tawan Wattuya.
FROM SINGAPORE: Ho Tzu Nyen, Jason Wee, Jeremy Sharma, John Clang and Lavender Chang.
Dividing his time between Singapore and New York, writer and artist JASON WEE traces the arc of changing histories and spaces, transforming these changes into visual and written materials. Wee is the founder of Grey Projects, Singapore, an alternative art space that focuses on emerging practices and censorship.
