The Tailors and the Mannequins Catalogue

How do artists portray unfamiliar people in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and elsewhere? Although Chen Cheng Mei and You Khin never knew each other and were born two decades apart, the artists shared a lasting affinity for portraying everyday scenes in diverse locations. Featuring an essay by exhibition curator Roger Nelson, full-colour reproductions of the artworks and archival material on display, and a timeline of both artist's lives and works, this e-publication chronicles their movements across the world from the 1970s to 2000s.  

This e-publication accompanies the inaugural exhibition of Dalam Southeast Asia, an experimental project space located within the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery.
