Beyond the Page, Contemporary Art from Pakistan |
| |
Pacific Asia Museum, 18th February 2010 to 27th June 2010 |

Exploring the transformation of historical miniature painting from the Mughal courts of South Asia into a stunning contemporary art form by current Pakistani artists, Pacific Asia Museum will present a new exhibition, Beyond the Page: The Miniature as Attitude in Contemporary Art from Pakistan, focusing on the contemporary miniature movement in Pakistan. The exhibition features fifty works by thirteen artists and is guest curated by Hammad Nasar with Anna Sloan and Bridget Bray, and organized by Green Cardamom and Pacific Asia Museum.
The contemporary miniature movement builds on the centuries-old tradition of miniature painting in South Asia and innovates through tradition, instead of being limited by it. The artists featured in Beyond the Page take different approaches to this innovation, whether through novel treatments of classic subject matter or technique, playing with ideas of scale, or utilizing digital and other forms of media instead of painting.
Artist featured are Hamra Abbas, Zahoor ul Akhlaq, Faiza butt, Noor Ali Chagani, Ali Kazim, Aisha Khalid, rehana Mangi, hasnat Mehmood, Jhelum, Muhammad Imran Qureshi, Nusra Latif Quershi, Rashid Rana, Anwar Jalal Shemza and Muhammed Zeeshan.
