Explores the tension between an ancient culture’s unbroken artistic tradition and the personality-driven world of contemporary art. Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art reflects upon the complex relationship between ancient Tibet’s artistic tradition of anonymity and contemporary artists’ search for a voice in the present. This fully illustrated catalogue, designed by Philipp Hubert and copublished by ArtAsiaPacific and Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, State University of New York at New Paltz, includes texts by exhibition curator Rachel Perera Weingeist, curator and writer David Elliott and Tibetan cultural activist Jamyang Norbu. Participating artists Penba Wangdu, Tenzing Rigdol and Tsherin Sherpa also contribute essays sharing personal insight into their artistic practice. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition “Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art” at Samuel Dorsky Museum in New Paltz, which features more than fifty works of painting, sculpture, installation, and video art by twenty-seven Tibetan artists. The exhibition runs from July 20 through December 15, 2013, and will later travel to the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont and the Queens Museum of Art, New York.
