The exhibition will be on display at the Tibet House US gallery from September 14th - November 15th, 2011. There will be a special opening reception on September 14th from 6-8pm. Tibet House US is located at 22 West 15th Street. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Friday from 12noon - 5 p.m. This exhibition shows Tibet's engagement with the modern world and with contemporary culture though the Tibetan artists which have created works merging their classical aesthetics with individual expressiveness, creating a new art that expands magnificently beyond their highly disciplined traditional artistic heritage. The artists themselves may view this transition either as a source of internal conflict or else as liberating freedom, perhaps both at the same time.
