Myanmar Contemporary Artists at Almaz Collective

Thu 19 Aug – 7pm: Opening and artists’ performances
Fri 20 Aug – 6 pm: Art talk

From Almaz Collective:

We are proud to invite you to On/Off, featuring 9 of Myanmar’s leading contemporary artists: Aung Pyi Sone, Maung Day, Moe Satt, M.S.O, Nge Lay, San Min, Than hay Maung, Thu Rein and Wah Nu, practicing contemporary art since three different eras of Myanmar history (1974 until now), join together to display installation, video, photography and performance.

Two days of performance and art talk, to introduce you to the new explosion of art in Myanmar.

“The name “On / Off” refers to the quick moment between when something is switched on and switched off. It is not permanent nor a period of time one can prepare systematically. What one can see, hear, feel or interpret within a moment between when something is opened up and closed again is paramount. Just a short plotted incidence between the audience and artists – we share the moments together.”

The art talk will be in presence of the curator and artist Moe Satt, and the artists Nge Lay, M.S.O, Thu Rein and Wah Nu.
