SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Myths\"
DESCRIPTION:Thavibu Gallery is pleased to present the art exhibition M
 YTHS featuring works by selected new generation women artists from Tha
 iland, Vietnam and Myanmar. The characterization of the Southeast Asia
 n woman has been embedded in its cultural history and has typically be
 en determined by their physical beauty. This association has commonly 
 been identified through icons such as the Apsaras or mythical nymphs t
 hat appear in fables or the romanticism of Vietnamese women clad in fl
 owing Ao Dais. Though Southeast Asian history celebrates “feminine r
 eason and beauty” the notion of gender was built around a public sph
 ere of feudalism despite the fact that learned and powerful women did 
 exist.\n The exhibition MYTHS examines the status of women in contempo
 rary Southeast Asian society through the works of five women artists f
 rom Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar. Though they once shared a common hi
 story, their common cultural values continue to unite their societies 
 – their political histories had carved out different paths that are 
 today visible through various levels of socio-economic progress. Thail
 and is regarded as one of Southeast Asia’s most developed and econom
 ically stable countries where women are regarded on equal status as me
 n. Vietnam through its socialist- capitalism practices introduced thro
 ugh Doi Moi in 1987 has emerged as a rapid growing economy. The contri
 butions by women since the revolution in 1945 and throughout the wars 
 have been significant. And Myanmar, once the most prosperous Southeast
  economy- now one of the poorest in the world, where women continue to
  be shrouded despite their contributions to both the economic and poli
 tical environment.\n Nguyen Thi Chau Giang (b. 1975) and Duong Thuy Du
 ong (b. 1979) relate how modernisation is influencing the status of wo
 men in Vietnam through their paintings. Duong lives and works in Berli
 n and Giang in Ho Chi Minh City.. Rattana Salee (b. 1982) and Angkana 
 Kongpetch (b. 1982) are both Thai artists whose artistic vocabularies 
 articulate their opinions on the myths that surround femininity from a
  very contemporary perspective. They have both done sculptural works i
 n the past and pursued studies at the Ecole Superiuere des Beaux Arts,
  Paris. Myanmar’s Nge Lay (b. 1979) draws inspiration from ordinary 
 working women who quietly form the backbone of her society. Her work h
 as been recognised by important art institutions and included in the p
 ermanent art collection of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan.\n Art
