Kult presents the theme of masks, bringing the contemporary mask into the spotlight as 26 Asian Artists explore what masks means today in the context of Modern Asia. The multi-media exhibition blurs the lines of street art, sculpture, illustration and craft. For centuries, masks have been used as tools for storytelling. Masks give us the ability to change ourselves to escape or hide in a variety of situations including entertainment, ceremony, practicality or disguise. In a new era that everyone produces another character like online avatars, the virtue of masks is prominent more than ever. 26 artists from seven countries in Asia explore what “masks in the 21st century” means to them, through their artworks. Featuring artists from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, this exhibition offers a glimpse into Asia’s emerging underground art scene.
