Fiction or reality, images produce their own narratives and temporal connections and are open to many interpretations infused with the personal experiences of individual viewers. Working with photography sound, and video, different practices consider and question everyday life, and intersect with memory and notions of displacement and self. Join the panel of artists for an open conversation about image and meaning making in contemporary art practice.

Identity]]> Nature]]> Globalisation]]> Chua Chye Teck]]> Southeast Asia]]> Biodiversity]]> Botany]]> Ecology]]> Ecosystems]]> Topography]]> Nature]]> Against the developmental emphasis on order, cleanliness, and control, weeds are often singled out as plants that grow in the wrong place where they can flourish in spite of being unwanted. In their resistance against human impulses to control and manicure nature, weeds are regarded by the artist as a manifestation of the beauty and resilience of wilderness and chaos. By observing both the physiology and formal qualities of weeds, Chua plans to experiment with a variety of light-sensitive and other photographic techniques to capture their intricate beauty and frame their value for nature and society.]]> Chua Chye Teck]]> Photography]]> Southeast Asia]]> Biodiversity]]> Botany]]> Ecology]]> Ecosystems]]> The Anthropocene]]> 4 October 2021 - 31 March 2022

Ways of Seeing]]> Cultural Production]]> Technology]]> Artist-in-Residence Chua Chye Teck speaks to Dr Anna Lovecchio, Assistant Director, Programmes, in our fourth episode of AiRCAST. Follow Chye Teck's stream of consciousness as he tells us about his journey with the medium of photography and his enduring fascination for fleeting forms and makeshift compositions. In recent years, Chye Teck is developing a more experimental attitude towards the image-making process creating works that respond to the specificity of a site, rather than to a subject matter, and reverberate with emotional vibrations. He has also become involved in several collaborations with other artists and he is cultivating a new fascination for cellphone images and the creative potential of readily available, off-the-shelf digital technologies.
