In 2007, following the receipt of a prestigious grant from the Rowell Fund for Tibet, Tenzing Paljor initiated the Vanishing Himalaya Project and traveled through the Himalaya photo documenting culture, tradition and cultural heritage, a journey he describes as a “pilgrimage”. The Tibetan word for pilgrimage is neykhor, and it means “to circumnavigate around the sacred places.” The intention is less to reach an ultimate destination, but rather to transcend one’s mind through inspired travel. |

This exhibition will feature many new paintings made by the finest Newar and Tamang artists of Nepal over the last six years, revealing how this contemporary renaissance of modern tantric art has continued to flourish amidst the chaos of the Kathmandu Valley. The Newars are the original inhabitants of this once fertile valley, with their own ancient culture, traditions and language, and they were responsible for much of the painting, woodcarving and bronze casting that we now define as ‘Early Tibetan Art’. On Display November 19, 2009 - February 3rd, 2010 |
