13 years ago, I curated a large scale exhibition at #Helutrans with #AhmadMashadi where we looked at 100 artworks made by artists based in #Singapore. It was part of a methodology that we employed for that edition of #CuratingLab where the participants would make proposals of exhibitions based on their selections from these 100 works. Here is a work that I often think of as the heart and soul of all art that is produced in Singapore. It’s a durational work by #AmandaHeng called Let’s Chat and it was first performed at #TheSubstation in #1996. The work entails a simple gesture where people will gather at a table to pluck off the roots of bean sprouts and talking about any or everything. So much of my work has been influenced by this piece made by Amanda. Ideas behind community, communication, the lack of a script, improvisation, dialogue. Thanks for this, Amanda. Really. Here is a rare photo of the performance with artists, Michael Lee, Sherman Ong, Charles Lim (check out the KPop hair!) and Tang Ling Nah. #MichaelLee #TangLingNah #CharlesLim #ShermanOng (at NUS Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChGPOC0vx12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A beautifully illustrated, clothbound compendium presenting significant contemporary art in Southeast Asia, SEA: Contemporary Art in Southeast Asia highlights the dynamic nature of contemporary art in Southeast Asia across generations and borders. This publication provides a unique and timely opportunity to introduce a broad audience to the artistic practices of Southeast Asia as they are connected to major themes of interest, such as community engagement and organization, social and political commentary, gender and identity, environment and ecology, and material traditions and processes. Edited by Ute Meta Bauer, Karin G. Oen, and Boon Hui Tan, this book fills a noticeable void in the landscape of arts publications, serving as an essential guide to artists working in the region. Selected by an international curatorial committee, the work of more than 60 different artists or collectives will be highlighted by introductory texts as well as images of significant works.
