Family Album: New Works by Gonkar Gyatso
Tibetan-born British artist Gonkar Gyatso, mixes Buddhist symbols with the iconography of pop culture, bridging Eastern and Western cultures, while examining the traditions of both in new and engaging ways. Gyatso explores the interdependent relationship between the Chinese and Tibetans living in the Tibet Autonomous Region and China. His work for this exhibition stems from “My Identity,” a 2003 series of photographs in which the artist explores his personal ideological shifts across the political, social, and national boundaries that constitute “Tibet.” Gyatso’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rubin Museum of Art in New York. He participated in the 53rd Venice Biennale, the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial in Brisbane, and the 17th Sydney Biennale.
