NIRVANIC ICONS: SACRED LUANG PRABANG นิทรรศการ ภาพถ่ายพลาตินัม “หลวงพระบาง”
25 NOVEMBER 2010 - 16 JANUARY 2010
25 พฤศจิกายน 2553 - 16 มกราคม 2554
Nirvanic Icons: Sacred Luang Prabang, an exhibition of platinum prints by Hans Georg Berger, explores Theravada Buddhism in present-day Laos, offering an artistic perspective on the lives of the Buddhist sangha and laypersons of Luang Prabang. For over two decades, from 1993 to today, Berger, a photographic artist-documentarian, has created a unique photographic documentation of Lao Buddhist culture. The photographs shown in this exhibition are done in “platinum prints” format, a century-old photographic process that has been used by great masters of photography. It has been called the “king of visual print” for its exceptional refinement, its expanded tonal range, and a unique luminous quality. This exhibition combines the images of an ancient Buddhist tradition with the most subtle of all techniques in photographic print-making — a distinct combination that has never before been done in such a scale.

THE BODY NEVER LIES - Show Extended until Sunday 20 June 2010
We are pleased to announce an extension of the closing date of THE BODY NEVER LIES: Woodcut Prints by S. Chandramohan - until Sunday 20 June 2010. Don’t miss a chance to see these amazing works that are groundbreaking in the techniques of woodcut prints from this exceptionally talented young artist from Baroda, Gujarat. The quality of Chandramohan’s painterly lines that transferred onto the medium of life-size woodcut, printed using letterpress ink on paper with his brave use of bright, bold colors, became at once some of the most extraordinary contemporary art works of the present time.
THE BODY NEVER LIES: Opening Reception Tuesday 11 May 2010

“The body never lies.” — Martha Graham, dancer
This exhibition features the first solo exhibition by one of India’s finest contemporary artists: Srilamantula CHANDRAMOHAN. Hailing from a traditional carpentry family in South India, Chandramohan won several important national and international awards, including the Lalit Kala Akademi award, India’s most prestigious national art award, and the Bharat Bhavan Bienniale, an international print competition in 2008. His works explore the issue of sexuality, desire, and guilt, communicated powerfully through the medium of large-format woodcut prints. The bold, graphic use of color is one of the signifying traits of Chandramohan’s body of work, as is his iconic self-representation. His works are an important part in the evolution of contemporary Indian art in the 21st century. Chandramohan is at the forefront of the new vanguard of modern Indian artists, pushing his contemporaries and the viewing public into an era of fresh, bold, and challenging artistic expression.
