| East meets West at Glynn Vivian Art GalleryARTISTS from the East will be meeting the critical eye of visitors from the West at the latest exhibition in the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea.
By: City and County of Swansea It is curated by Gerard Mermoz who selected a lively cross section of contemporary art work during a three-month journey from Kochi in India to Lahore in Pakistan via Bangalore, Mumbai, Bhopal, Vadodara, Delhi, Kolkata and Santiniketan. The selected works show artists seeking to redefine their place in the world at a crucial stage in the cultural life of India and Pakistan. Their work grapples their respective regional cultural traditions and the rising pressure to embrace globalisation as an emblem of progress, modernity and a better future. It also includes works by contemporary artists to challenge the assumptions on which we decide what qualifies as contemporary art. None of the work has been shown outside India or Pakistan before. The exhibition runs from now until 5 July. For more information visit http://www.glynnviviangallery.org or telephone 01792 516900. Through other Eyes is a Touring Exhibition from the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry. # # # News about activities, events and attractions in Swansea, Wales, UK.
