Shapeshifting: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia
by 10 Chancery Lane Gallery Location: 10 Chancery Lane Gallery Art Projects
Artist(s): GROUP SHOW
Date: 22 Mar - 26 Mar 2016
Featuring works by 23 artists from Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and Vietnam, "Shapeshifting: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia" at 10 Chancery Lane Art Projects in Hong Kong’s Chai Wan district will present some of the most interesting and innovative voices from Southeast Asia. Focused on the region’s shifting range of art practices, the exhibition focuses on four countries from Indochina: Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. There is a certain connection that can be felt among the works but the origins and dialogues in play all have different sources that are particular to the artists’ personal backgrounds paired with the national, religious, political or social identity of each one.
