Suddenly Turning Visible: Art and Architecture in Southeast Asia
Illuminating the lesser-known links between art and architecture and the role of institutions in the development of art in the region, the Gallery presents Suddenly Turning Visible: Art and Architecture in Southeast Asia (1969–1989).
This exhibition reflects the rapid modernisation of the region during this period, a time when artists and architects articulated new approaches that freely reinvented international art movements such as abstraction, realism and conceptual art in dialogue with folk and vernacular traditions.
