Exhibition: NO COUNTRY at the Guggenheim, New York (2013)

Here's the exhibition we looked at briefly last week as an introduction to and overview of the kind of art we'll be considering this semester. Explore the different links and videos for useful information. The overview video is particularly helpful, and the videos on individual artists and their work are very interesting (see "Related Videos"). Also, make sure to check out the article "Southeast Asia: Art History, Art Today" by Patrick D. Flores.
