More Description This book is distributed by NUS Press for the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila, and ArtAsiaPacific, Hong Kong.
Marian Pastor Roces is one of the most original thinkers in Southeast Asia addressing the interactions of politics, privilege, state patronage, creativity, tradition, and contemporary art. An art historian, museum director, and cultural theorist, she has shown a keen sensitivity to the relations of power between creators and mediators of art and culture. Gathering is the first-ever collection of essays by Roces, bringing together key pieces in a body of work that is sustained and unrelenting in its commitment to critique in a variety of contexts. Featuring an introduction by Rustom Bharucha, and a foreword by Elena Mirano, the collection presents forty-three essays that were originally published between 1974 and 2018.
