I love spending time at the @metmuseum. I would often spend an entire day in it, just walking and allowing every object and artefact to wash into my consciousness and hopefully surface as something in my work in the future. An object that I was very drawn to are these social distancing signs that I regard of as a part of the ecology of the museum; an sign of the times. I took a photograph of it with my iPhone 11 and am planning to use it within a solo show that I’m working on with @rohprojects in Jakarta that will open in December this year. I have absolutely no idea how I’ll use it but I’m sure it’ll come to me (hopefully sometime soon). The show’s about many of the things that I often think about; collections of things, spaces of knowledge, communications and misunderstandings… stuff. Working a lot these days in preparation for a couple of solos that will open this year and the next. Looking forward to a month of walking in Seoul in September after a week of hustling during Frieze. Terribly jetlagged. It’s 7:06 am and I’ve been up all night, my mind spinning at both ends, thinking up new works. Sigh. #MetMuseum #MetMuseumNYC #ROHProjects #HemanChong #AvoidGathering #SocialDistancing #Covid19 #Pandemic2022 #Pandemic #SlowLiving (at ROH Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxmepKv5Fp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
