ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In 1985, when the artist Gonkar Gyatso and his partners jointly established the "Sweet Teahouse School", Tibetan artists began to reach beyond of ancient plateau in search of new art. In 2003, artists Gade and Tsewang Tashi founded the "Gendun Qunpei Artists Guild" in Lhasa, striving to break through the stereotypes of Tibetan art, and to let more people in the world understand the contemporary Tibetan art scene. Today, Tibetan contemporary art has begun to flourish, and the interaction with the art world at home and abroad is becoming more and more equal, bringing the artists greater achievements and opportunities.
The Tibetan contemporary art works in this exhibition are all created after the millennium. Through different media, the works tell the new story of the Tibetan art scene.
The show places the viewer inside of the curators brain in a way, flowing through plenty of sculptures and painting which center texture, sacrificing one sense of sight to immerse yourself into the entire piece, and be present in a moment you have never experienced before, will never have back, and will remain in history.
