Presented by Osage Art Foundation and curated by Charles Merewether, this exhibition represents some 23 works by 14 artists from Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Turkey. Their work conveys a powerful materiality that can be seen in regard to either the subject of their address or the use of materials. For some of these artists their subject alludes to the broader social sphere in which they live. Art becomes a means of remembering history or raising issues of social justice. For the other artists, art becomes a metaphorical means of characterizing everyday life, memory and history. And the third strand of exploration lies with those artists who explore the playful allusions and visual subtleties of abstraction.
