iversity in Southeast Asia moves into the spotlight in a new exhibition at Jakarta’s Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (Museum MACAN).
“Stories Across Rising Lands”, which opens across virtual platforms from Jan. 23 to May 23, is aimed at opening a dialogue about differences in Southeast Asia.
“'Stories across Rising Lands' is an ambitious project that brings together some of the most exciting artists working in Southeast Asia,” said Museum MACAN’s director Aaron Seeto.
Recently, he added, there had been a lot of discussion about the importance of Southeast Asia in the development of global perspectives on contemporary art.
“We hope this exhibition, together with its public online talks and virtual programming, will contribute to broader understanding and knowledge about the region we live in.”
The exhibition is cocurated by Museum MACAN’s curator, Asep Topan, and Jakarta-based Korean curator Jeong-ok Jeon.
“Though coming from different locations across Southeast Asia, this group of artists can be seen to share similar approaches to artistic research and a desire to make visible the small narratives of the everyday,” they said in a joint statement.
