Between Declarations and Dreams is National Gallery Singapore's inaugural exhibition of the art of Southeast Asia from the 19th century to the present. This richly illustrated catalogue tracks the broad time periods and thematic sections of the exhibition through more than 300 artwork images. The selection of essays provides an extensive discussion on the exhibition and offers curatorial insight to a task that is at once monumental and intricate- the positing of an art history of a region as diverse as Southeast Asia.
