<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>

SouthEastAsia: Spaces of the Curatorial
<a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Spaces+of+the+Curatorial">Spaces of the Curatorial</a>
This volume focuses on the practice of curating in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing a time of increased global visibility as well as nation and institution building. The political aspiration to map and shape a regional identity through historical writing and cultural planning stumbles upon a multi-layered subject difficult to grasp or define. The diversity of voices in this publication mirrors the complexity of the region itself: its various curatorial spaces, infrastructures, and political systems. The publication includes contributions by Ute Meta Bauer, Zoe Butt, Kevin Chua, Patrick D. Flores, Gridthiya Gaweewong, Tony Godfrey, Yin Ker, Eileen Legaspi-Ramirez, Seng Yu Jin, Simon Soon, Nora A. Taylor, and David Teh. The publication was launched in several places across the wider region including Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong.
