520 3    |a The new exciting display in the Foyle Special Collections Gallery of the Brunei GalleryThe Arts of Southeast Asia highlights the breadth of the region’s cultures as represented in the SOAS collections. It demonstrates the long-term engagement of SOAS Staff and Alumni, whose research and travels have brought this variety of objects to the School. Curated by Anna Contadini (School of Arts), the exhibition constitutes an important further stage in the “Treasures of SOAS Project”, designed to highlight and encourage research of the SOAS collections. ----- The objects displayed, many for the first time, have a wide chronological span, are diverse in nature, comprising manuscripts (written on bark, palm leaves, copper sheets and paper), textiles, sculptures, metalwork, ceramics and paintings, and reflect the variety of religions, cultures and languages to be found across this vast area. The objects come from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and range in date from circa 1000 BCE to the twenty first century. ----- The exhibition is organized around four broad themes that touch upon a number of important aspects of Southeast Asian life and culture: Religion; Magic and divination; Literature; Contacts with East and West. Within this framework the objects displayed reflect the range of Southeast Asian arts, their innovations and traditions to be found in the SOAS collections.

520 3    |a Beautifully illustrated, The Arts of Southeast Asia from the SOAS Collections highlights a variety of material relating to Southeast Asia drawn from the rich collections of SOAS University of London. With a wide chronological span, they are diverse in nature, comprising manuscripts (written on bark, palm leaves and paper), textiles, sculptures, metalwork and paintings, and reflect the variety of religions, cultures and languages to be found across this vast area. ----- The objects in the collection represented in the publication come from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and range in date from circa 1000 BCE to the present day. Most are functional, being made for religious, ceremonial or practical purposes, and particular meanings adhere to their various shapes, gestures and motifs. In contrast to the renowned stone and brick temples of Angkor and Pagan, much of Southeast Asian art is made from perishable materials such as wood, leaves and cloth to which the hot and humid climate of the region is hostile.
