Exhibition Public - Asia |
Detail: Beginning of the Becoming: Batak Sculpture from Northern Sumatra examines the extraordinary sculptures of the Batak peoples of northern Sumatra. The Batak live in the mountain heartlands centred around the majestic shores of Lake Toba, a striking environment that nurtured an intriguing culture rooted in ancient Southeast Asian traditions. The exhibition challenges preconceptions about what constitutes art in Batak culture, and asserts a rightful place for Batak sculpture in the global artistic canon. Over 80 works in wood, stone, and bronze on loan will be shown, 20 of which have been donated to the ACM |
