NEW YORK---In the Western world, art and self-expression are often thought of as going hand-in-hand, but in Tibet the two concepts are worlds apart. An exhibition of Tibetan contemporary art, entitled "Anonymous," explores the exchange between art and the self, a dialogue which is always in motion. "Anonymous" features over 50 different ways of expressing the self through artwork, through the means of painting, sculpture, installation and video art. The show runs until December 15 at The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the State University of New York in New Paltz. [link]
