Roundabout° explores the possibilities of artistic exchanges between geographically separated cultures and of different traditions and languages. This full-color catalog designed by award-winning graphic designer Paul Sahre, features the work of 108 artists from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Korea, China, India, Bhutan, Tibet and Thailand. It also includes four scholarly essays by Nicholas Thomas, Rupert Richard Arrowsmith, Don J. Cohn and Marisa Mazria-Katz, as well as an interview with Roundabout° collector David Teplitzky. Robert Thurman, Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, contributes a special foreword.
The catalog is published by ArtAsiaPacific and accompanies the touring exhibition of the same title being launched in New Zealand at the City Gallery Wellington, running from September 25, 2010 to January 16, 2011, and later traveling to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art from October 22, 2011 to April 14, 2012.
