14 May 2016, Sat 2:00pm - 7:00pm Studios, Blocks 37 & 38 Malan Road<br /><br /><p><strong>Residencies: <em>OPEN</em> </strong>offers a rare insight into the often-introverted sphere of the artists’ studio. Through showcasing discussions, performances, research and works in progress, <em>OPEN</em> profiles the diversity of contemporary art practice and the divergent ways artists make artwork with the studio as a constant space for experimentation and contemplation.</p>
<p><strong><span>Julian ‘Togar’ Abraham (Block 37 Malan Road, Studio #01-02)</span></strong></p>
<p class="p2">Oscillating between the position of an artist, musician and pseudo scientist, the work of <span><strong>Ju</strong><strong>l</strong><strong>ian ‘Togar’ Abraham</strong></span> – often expressed in complex algorithms – challenge the experiences in how art, the environment, science and technology relate to one another and our understanding of these usually distinct fields.</p>
<p>Togar will conduct <em>Fermentation Madness</em>, a workshop that experiments with the fermentation process inviting participants to brew their own alcohol using their chosen combinations of fruit.</p>
<p><span><strong>Kray Chen (Block 37 Malan Road, Studio #01-03)</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Kray Chen</strong></span>’s (Singapore) practice brings attention to the certain behaviours in society, tapping into their absurd and futile characteristic to discuss progress, value and pleasure in contemporary society. While in residence, Chen will continue this line of research into the specific threads of absurdity such as ‘Waiting’ by examining the equation between labour and gratification in different activities, and in turn on reflecting social, cultural and political performativity In relation to the absurd.</p>
<p><span><strong>Svay Sareth (Block 38 Malan Road, Studio #01-06)</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Svay Sareth</strong></span>’s (Cambodia) works in sculpture, installation and durational performance are made using materials and processes intentionally associated with war – metals, uniforms, camouflage and actions requiring great endurance. While his critical and cathartic practice is rooted in an autobiography of war and resistance, he refuses both historical particularity and voyeurism on violence. Rather, his works traverse both present and historical moments, drawing on processes of survival and adventure, and ideas of power and futility.<br /><br /></p>
<p><span><strong>Tan Pin Pin (Block 38 Malan Road, Studio #01-07)</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Tan Pin Pin</strong></span> (Singapore) is an award-winning director of <em>To Singapore, with Love</em>, <em>Invisible City</em> and <em>Singapore GaGa</em>. She is interested with how we became who are, how our Singapore identity is constructed, the importance of memory, archives and documentation in the formation of that identity.</p>

13 Jan 2017, Fri 07:00 PM - 11:00 PM 14 Jan 2017, Sat - 15 Jan 2017, Sun 12:00 PM - 07:00 PM 21 Jan 2017, Sat - 22 Jan 2017, Sun 12:00 PM - 07:00 PM <br />Other days by appointment. <br />Residencies Studio #01-03, Block 37 Malan Road<br /><br /><p><em>Future Trees and the Pulp of History (2) </em>is a combined presentation by Artist-in-Residence <b>Ho Rui An</b> and artist <b>Tan Biyun</b> that explores the artists’ shared interests in participatory democracies, historical archives and speculative futures. Their works engage various strategies to rearrange existing narrative structures and activate new forms of political imagination.</p>
<p>As a consolidation of the research undertaken during his residency with NTU CCA, Ho presents a selection of material relating to the history of foresight, both globally and within the Singapore public sector. This includes a set of images extracted from a CD-ROM produced on the occasion of an exhibition organised in celebration of Public Service 21 (PS21), an initiative that can be regarded as a precursor to the current Smart Nation programme. Together, these materials variously project forms of millennial optimism or anxiety—the former exemplified by Peter Schwartz <span class="s1">and Peter Leyden</span><span class="s2">’s </span>seminal essay “The Long Boom”, the latter by two national scenarios created by the Scenario Planning Office in Singapore describing the city-state in states of crisis.<br /><br /></p>
<p>Against this history of the future presented in Ho’s collection, Tan posits a speculative near-future where the history of Singapore faces the fate of being pulped. Tan conjures a scenario where students, sick of the propaganda purveyed in their textbooks, have abandoned the study of History altogether, prompting the Ministry to recall and destroy all textbooks in circulation. Conceived as a “protest against forgetting” (Eric Hobsbawn), Tan’s <em>The Unforgetting Space</em> seeks a more inclusive understanding of the past and triggers the process of reclaiming the writing of history from the authorities. This participatory project features several textbooks dating from the 1970s and two old typewriters on which audiences are invited to retype historical episodes selected from the books. They are also encouraged to contribute a text based on their own sources should a historical episode be found to be missing or misrepresented.</p>

<p class="p1"><strong>Antariksa</strong>, Block 38, Malan Road, Studio #01-05</p>
<p>As part of his residency at the NTU CCA Singapore, Antariksa researches the history of the Japanese Occupation (1942-1945) in Singapore. He is especially interested in collecting historical evidence of the propaganda strategies pursued by the occupiers and compare them with the forms of resistance and alternative visual strategies developed by the artists at the time. This project is part of a wider study on the history of art collectivism in Asia under the Japanese Occupation.</p>
<p>The presentation of archival material and images in his studio has been made possible thanks to the National Archives of Singapore.<br /><br /></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Heman Chong</strong>, Block 38, Malan Road, Studio #01-07</p>
<p><em>The Library of Unread Books<br /></em>Ongoing project</p>
<p><em>The Library of Unread Books</em> is Heman Chong’s long-term project: a members-only reference library made up of donated books that are unread by their previous owners. The cost of a lifetime membership to the library is the donation of a single unread book. In keeping with the artist’s intimate longing for a space to go to in the dead of the night to encounter books he has never thought of reading, “night passes” will also be issued for visitors and the Library will be open for 24 hours every Friday night from 7.00pm to 7.00pm the next day.<br /><br /><span>Chong is a Singaporean artist, writer, and curator whose practice develops across a variety of media. He often works as a facilitator of situations in which new narratives and modes of intellectual exchange are enacted to rethink conventional modes of sharing and transmitting knowledge. Since 2003, he has been interested in negotiating public space as a site of speech. For his six-month research at the NTU CCA Residencies Programme, he intends to turn his studio into an artist-run space where other artists can present their works, gather for discussion, and find a quiet space for contemplation.</span></p>
<p><strong>Ho Rui An</strong>, Block 37, Malan Road, Studio #01-03</p>
<p><em>IN-RESIDENCE<br /></em>2014<br />HD video<br />17 min 30 sec</p>
<p>Produced during a residency on-board a transatlantic vessel, the video interweaves two layers of time experienced by the artist during the month-long journey: that of being “in-residence” and that of being “on expedition”. Two literary characters serve as points of reference for the film’s invisible protagonist: the colonial officer Percival from Virginia Woolf’s <em>The Waves</em> (1931) and from Italo Calvino’s novel<em> Mr Palomar</em> (1983). Exploring the dissonance between the sense of nausea experienced by the artist during the residency and the scientific scope of the expedition, the film muses upon representational technologies that turn the natural world into an image.<br /><br /><span>Ho Rui An is an artist and writer who works at the intersection of contemporary art, cinema, performance, and theory. He writes, talks, and thinks around images investigating their sites of emergence, transmission, and disappearance within the contexts of cultural production. Recently he has focused on the aesthetic form of the “lecture performance” to explore the relationship between art, research, and the circulation of knowledge. During his residency at NTU CCA Singapore, Ho intends to study the aesthetics of “futurecraft” and of “horizon scanning” programmes run both by the state and private entities.</span><br /><br /></p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Ato Malinda</strong>, Block 37, Malan Road, Studio #01-04</p>
<p><em>Drawings<br /></em>2016<br />Mixed media<br />Dimensions variable</p>
<p>Since 2012, Ato Malinda has been working on a series of drawings that relate to her innermost feelings and fantasies about gender-related issues. Often inspired by events in her life and in the life of her friends, the drawings outline half-human, half-animal creatures caught up in intimate situations and pensive poses.</p>
<p><em>On fait ensemble<br /></em>2010<br />HD video<br />10 min<br /><br />Mami Wata was a water spirit worshipped in Africa long before the arrival of the Europeans. In the 1880s a German hunter married a Southeast Asian woman and brought her to Hamburg where she performed in <em>Völkerschau</em> (human zoo) as a snake charmer. A lithograph of hers was reprinted in Bombay in 1955 and eventually came to West Africa where it was recognised as a portrait of Mami Wata. Re-enacting the arrival of the image in Africa, the artist reflects on the complex patterns of exchange and contamination that determine cultural identities.<br /><br /><span>The work of Malinda encompasses performance, drawing, painting, installation, video, and ceramic sculpture and investigates the nature of African identity, contesting notions of authenticity as well as fixed assumptions about gender and sexuality. During her residency at the NTU CCA Singapore, she is conducting archival research on the Tang shipwreck — occurred 380 miles off the Singapore Strait around 830 CE — to explore concepts of hybridity and globalisation in relation to Singapore’s history of sea trading and porcelain manufacturing.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><em>Spectrum, or the Singapore Dan Flavin</em><br />2016<br />Seven fluorescent tubes</p>
<p class="p2">With a formalistic reference to Dan Flavin, seven fluorescent tubes are arranged in a grid structure that propagates different shades of white in the space. The spectrum of white lights are in different colour temperatures, which were sampled from various social spaces in Singapore, from polished restaurant, luxury hotel, to industrial buildings and dormitory of migrant workers.<br /><br /><span>As a visual artist and a film maker, Bo Wang observes contemporary urban landscapes that are undergoing intensified processes of transformation and excavates the power structures and cultural anxieties related to these accelerated forms of transitions. His work depicts provocative portraits of China examining the ways in which the State retains its authoritarian way of rule while pursuing capitalism. For his residency at NTU CCA Singapore, Wang is researching the politics of space, issues of territorial expansion, and the social implications surrounding the pursuit of sand in Singapore where 22% of her land mass has been reclaimed from the sea through sand acquired from neighbouring countries.</span></p>

<div><strong>BIOGRAPHY</strong><br /><p class="p1"><span><b>H</b><b>eman Chong</b></span> (Singapore)</p>
<p class="p1">The first iteration of a ten-year-long project, Heman Chong's <em>The Library of Unread Books</em> develops from the artist's deep-seated longing for books. It is a members-only reference library made up of donated books that are unread by their previous owners. The cost of a lifetime member- ship to the library is the donation of one unread book. By receiving and revealing that which people choose not to read, the Library is the result of acollectivegestureandtracestheperimetersofunwantedknowledge. Managed in collaboration with chief librarian Renée Staal, the library is open every Friday from 12.00pm to 12.00am until the end of February.</p>
<p class="p1"><span><b>Ho Rui An</b></span> (Singapore)</p>
<p class="p1">A combined presentation by Artist-in-Residence Ho Rui An and artist Tan Biyun, <em>Future Trees and the Pulp of History</em> explores their shared interests in participatory democracies, historical archives, and speculative futures. Both artists engage various strategies to rearrange existing narrative structures and activate new forms of political imagination.<br /><br />For the first time in Singapore, Ho exhibits the documentation of<em> Screen Green</em> (2015-16), a lecture perfomance that probes the politics of screening and greening in the city-state. Conceived as a “protest against forgetting” (Eric Hobsbawn), Tan's <em>The Unforgetting Space</em> seeks a more inclusive understanding of the past and triggers the process of reclaiming the writing of history from the authorities. This participatory project features several textbooks dating from the 1970s and two old typewriters inviting the audiences to retype historical episodes selected from the books.<br /><br />The works will be on view from 12 November to 10 December 2016, every Saturday and Sunday, from 12.00pm to 7.00pm.</p>
<p class="p1"><span><b>Arin Rungjang</b></span> (Thailand)</p>
<p class="p1">Investigating the phenomenon of historical rumours in Thailand and Singapore Arin Rungjang’s research aims to unearth unofficial stories that circulate by word of mouth to explore the ways in which they subtly infiltrate dominant notions of historical truth and shape our collective imagery.<br /><br />Produced during the residency, the video interview with Johnston Anderson Cheong captures an intimate and poignant dialogue. This heart-warming exchange delves not only into Cheong’s personal history, memories, family relationships, and struggles growing up as an albino in Singapore, but it also prompts a broader reflection on common perceptions and prescribed social norms.</p>
<p class="p1"><span><b>SHIMURAbros</b></span> (Japan/Germany)</p>
<p class="p1">During their residency, SHIMURAbros will expand their previous research on Singapore’s archaeology and film history to explore the reverse trajectories and movements of various archaeological items from Southeast Asia to Singapore. Their research materials include books, photographs, documents, films, and archival footage.<br /><br />In <em>24!=</em> the artists rearranged the 24 frames composing one second in the first feature-length motion picture with synchronized sound, <em>The Jazz Singer</em> (1927), when the sentence “You ain't heard nothing yet" is spoken, according to all the possible permutations of the 24 frames. The time needed to screen the whole film exceeds the life-span of a star.</p>
<p class="p1"><span><b>Tamara Weber</b></span> (United States)</p>
<p class="p1">In the last year, Tamara Weber has been working closely with New York-based curator Annie Seaton on <em>Close Readings</em>, a collaborative project of visual investigation that casts an anthropomorphising look on architecture and other bodies. Centred around the logic of the book, <em>Close Readings</em> features a series of interactive textual images that reference 1960s advertising, botanical imagery, pulps, abstraction, and Eugenic vignettes. These works are created via repetition, textual insertions, and implantation (“re-rooting”) into other media and they are meant to be continuously deconstructed, disassembled, and re-constructed through an open-ended editorial process that unfolds multiple meanings.</p>

<div class="event_single_venue">Studios, Blocks 37 & 38 Malan Road<br /><br /><strong>Residencies: <em>OPEN</em></strong><span> offers a rare insight into the often introverted sphere of the artists’ studio. Through showcasing discussions, performances, research and works-in-progress, Residencies: </span><em>OPEN</em><span>profiles the diversity of contemporary art practice and the divergent ways artists conceive artwork with the studio as a constant space for experimentation and contemplation.</span><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br />Zul Mahmod, Block 37, Studio #01-01</strong></span><br /><strong>Zul Mahmod</strong><span>’s (Singapore) practice investigates the aural architecture of spaces in order to explore the emotional, behavioural and visceral responses of its inhabitants. While in residence, Zul will explore the aural relationship between readymade sound sculptures and the architecture of space. Sonic characteristics, forms and textures of everyday objects will be examined in order to compose an orchestra of sonic sculptures.</span><br /><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br />Guo-Liang Tan, Block 37, Studio #01-03</strong></span><br />How does one speak of abstraction and what can the abstract say? As part of his residency, <strong>Guo-Liang Tan</strong> (Singapore) has initiated a number of conversations with other artists, writers and curators around the operation of abstraction as an artistic strategy today. This panel will gather part of this ongoing investigation to situate abstraction beyond its usual formal discourse and reconsider its relevance to the fields of semiotics, socio-politics and phenomenology. Tan is a visual artist working primarily in painting and text. In his work, the painterly and the textual act as surfaces for performing affect that can conjure a haunting or a promise.</p>
<p>Moderated by <strong>Guo-Liang Tan</strong>, speakers include <strong>Dr Kevin Chua</strong>, art historian; <strong>Joleen Loh</strong>, Assistant Curator, National Gallery Singapore; and <strong>Ian Woo</strong>, artist.<br /><br /><span><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Saleh Husein, Block 37, Studio #01-04</span><br /></strong></span><strong>Saleh Husein</strong><span>’s (Indonesia) current research looks at Arabic descendants in Indonesia. This research crosses borders between art, politics, economy, and also science and centres around how they see themselves in the contemporary. Through themes of identity, transition and journeys, he is exploring the story of the Arabic society in Singapore, seeking artefacts and archives that look at the relationship and histories between the two groups from the perspective of its citizens. Husein will present new work developed whilst in residence at NTU CCA Singapore that considers the temporality and asynchrony of migration.</span><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Zac Langdon-Pole, Block 38, Studio #01-05</strong></span><br /><strong>Zac Langdon-Pole</strong><span>’s (New Zealand) work straddles cross-cultural experience and with it he seeks to investigate procedures of cultural exchange. The implications of such investigations are to reveal often overlooked, lyrical relationships between broader socio-cultural processes, objects, images and individual people. Langdon-Pole will present the film, </span><em>Pieces of 8</em><span> (2015), which depicts a yellow canary bird in a cage. The film references the historical usage of canaries in mining, where they would accompany miners in a small cage, their death serving as a warning signal if conditions became unsafe to consider broader notions of danger or anxiety.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Dennis Tan, Block 38, Studio #01-07</strong></span><br /><strong>Dennis Tan</strong> (Singapore) will present the work-in-progress construction of a traditional Indonesian <em>Kolek</em> sailboat. Through construction of the boat, Tan will investigate ideas of self-organisation and the transmission of skills and knowledge through generations of oral history in the Riau Archipelago and how this enables the continuity of cultural communities. Tan’s practice suspends conceptualism, tinkers with found objects and the environment as a gestural structure upon which the loop closes with the behaviour of its recipients. To date, this inclination sets the tone of his evolving practice.</span></p>
