Looking beyond the Euro-American modernist stance that often marginalized non-western, culturally specific artistic practices, often by relegating them to ethnography and craft, contemporary artists in Asia have developed practices transcending the separation between traditional forms, craft techniques, and contemporary practice. Two artists working with South Asian miniature and western oil painting practices discuss how historical context and cultural specificity enrich our understanding of the global contemporary.
Featured panelists: Asia Society Triennial artists Hamra Abbas and Natee Utarit; moderated by the Triennial's Artistic Director Boon Hui Tan, cocurator and former artistic director of the Triennial.
