Suddenly Turning Visible: Art and Architecture in Southeast Asia (1969–1989) illuminates the lesser-known links between art and architecture, and the role of institutions in the development of art in the region. Works from three influential institutions – the Bhirasri Institution of Modern Art (BIMA) (Bangkok, est. 1974), the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) (Manila, est. 1969) and Alpha Gallery (Singapore, est. 1971) – exemplify the new approaches toward art at the time. Join this audio tour, now available on Soundcloud, to learn more about 7 selected works from the exhibition.
