Berlin-based artist Hamra Abbas and Hammad Nasar,
curator of Beyond
the Page: Contemporary Art from Pakistan will discuss Asia House’s
current
exhibition and the phenomenon of the contemporary miniature. Abbas
was
a participant in the Sydney Bienniale 2006. She is currently artist-in-residence
at Gasworks in a collaborative project with Green Cardamom and the
V&A.
Her recent work shows her extending the building blocks of her initial
training — sculpture and miniature painting — into a
distinctive practice,
at once aesthetically arresting and critically engaged. Nasar, an
independent
curator, co-curated the exhibition Karkhana: A Contemporary Collaboration
at Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut and the Asian Art
Museum,
San Francisco. He is the director of Green Cardamom, a not-for-profit
organisation working with artists in early stages of their international
careers.
