Group exhibition opens, unveiling a rich diversity of artwork by six nominated artists

Shanghai/Metzingen, October 29, 2015 – HUGO BOSS ASIA ART: Award for Emerging Asian Artists opens tomorrow at Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) in Shanghai, presenting artworks by six nominated artists; APT artist Maria Taniguchi (Philippines), Guan Xiao (Mainland China), Huang Po-Chih (Taiwan), Moe Satt (Myanmar), Vandy Rattana (Cambodia), and Yang Xinguang (Mainland China). Building on the success of the first edition in 2013, the second edition of the award in 2015 continues to honour emerging contemporary artists who are in the early stages of their artistic creation and exhibition practices. The exhibition is open to the public from October 30, 2015 to January 3, 2016.

Curated by RAM and developed closely together with the participating artists, the exhibition demonstrates the rich diversity of practices these artists are developing in Asia. The selection of artworks ranges from painting to video art; from sculpture to installation and performance; from anthropological research to more conceptual and poetic representations; from observation of the localities to their formulation into a universal artistic statement.

Taniguchi's work on the award exhibition: Untitled paintings, two video works, I See, It Feels and Figure Study, and a sculptural work, Untitled (ram dram sram),
