Sneak Peek: Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art exhibit at 欧美口爆视频 Art Museum
On Thursday, February 12, Ariana Maki will present the first in our Spring 2015 Luncheon Series Program.
In 2006, the 欧美口爆视频 Art Museum (欧美口爆视频AM) exhibited Waves on the Turquoise Lake, the world鈥檚 first museum show dedicated to contemporary Tibetan art, a field that emerged only in the late 1990s. Since then, contemporary art from the Himalayas has become a hotbed of creativity and international attention. Beginning in February, 欧美口爆视频AM will host Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art, which highlights photography, painting, sculpture and digital video created since 2008.

Maki will discuss the upcoming exhibition at the 欧美口爆视频 Art Museum, Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art. She will highlight some of the artworks and artists involved in Anonymous, and how they express perspectives on modernization, global culture, the commodification of Buddhism, and the search for the self.
Maki is a lecturer in 欧美口爆视频's Department of Art and Art History and Department of Religious Studies. She holds a Ph.D. in Art History with a specialization in Buddhist Art. Ariana is also Assistant Curator at Himalayan Art Resources and maintains a research affiliation with the National Library and Archives of Bhutan.
Maki's talk will begin at 12:00 p.m. in the CAS Conference Room, located two doors north of Starbucks on University and Broadway.
