Bart Was Not Here: God Complex

This is the first solo show by young Myanmar artist Bart Was Not Here (Kyaw Moe Khine) who graduated from Singapore’s Lasalle College of the Arts last year. As the artist’s statement reads, “God Complex is a place of unapologetic personal perspective. It is a fictional world born out of a collision of art and ego.” This is also the first art show to be held at Myanm/art’s new space.
