Exhibit Description

This exhibition presents paintings by contemporary artists from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Created after the transition period of 2011, when civilian government replaced oppressive military rule, the paintings illustrate recent artistic practice in Myanmar and present a series of lenses through which to view a rapidly changing society. Paintings included in Altered State: Painting Myanmar in a Time of Transition are from the collection of contemporary Myanmar paintings of Ian Holliday, the Vice President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning) at the University of Hong Kong. The exhibition at DePauw University is supported by the Asian Studies program and the Arthur E. Klauser Asian and World Community Collection endowment.
