| Summary: | Highlights the significance of contemporary southeast Asian art and artists, and their place in the globalized art world and the internationalizing field of contemporary art. In the light of the region's modern art history, the book surveys this relatively under-examined area of contemporary art which first found broad international recognition in the 1990s. Traced here are significant exhibitions that featured contemporary southeast Asian art and brought it to regional and international attention. Examined are seminal foundational art histories, and dominant methods and thematic frameworks for engaging with southeast Asian art. Key artists, exhibitions, collections, scholarship, ideologies and discourses shaping its developing history are discussed, as are major works by artists associated with Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. |
