<p>Wednesday, 11 January 2023, 6:00 pm - 7.30 pm<br />Block 37 Malan Road, Seminar Room<br /><br />In this joint talk, artists <strong>Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, </strong>and<strong> Vuth Lyno</strong> unravel an almost year-long journey from overseas residencies—at HIAP (Finland), WIELS (Belgium), and Villa Arson (France), respectively—to the development of their research and creation of new works.</p>
<p>This talk is part of the exhibition, <strong><em>Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, and Vuth Lyno: New Works</em></strong>, that concludes the first cycle of <em>SEA AiR – Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union</em>. As participating artists in the inaugural cycle of SEA AiR, Hoo Fan Chon (Malaysia), Citra Sasmita (Indonesia), and Vuth Lyno (Cambodia) have each been awarded a three-month-long residency at an art institution in Europe as well as funding for the creation of artworks. Stemming out of a year-long engagement, <em>Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works</em> is the outcome of a multifaceted process made of journeys and institutional collaborations, fieldwork and encounters, research and artmaking.

<p><strong><em>SEA AiR</em></strong> is a new programme that aims to foster artistic exchange between Southeast Asia and the European Union, with Singapore as its hub. Developed by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore), the project is funded by the European Union and it offers emerging Southeast Asian artists a long-term engagement comprising a three-month residency in a EU country and the opportunity to create new works, inspired by the residency experience, that will be presented to the public in Singapore in a group exhibition curated by NTU CCA Singapore.</p>

This episode features a conversation between two artists who work primarily with painting: our Artist-in-Residence Hilmi Johandi and Singaporean artist and educator Ian Woo. In this peer-to-peer exchange between thoughtful image-makers, Hilmi and Ian ponder over the significance of the studio in Hilmi's practice revealing how walls, and spaces, can shape artistic mindsets and generate different patterns of thought. Throughout the conversation, they address the potential of a local residency to shift the perception of the familiar, open up new ways of seeing and refresh routines and rituals. They also touch upon the artist-audience relation and other core aspects in Hilmi’s practice such as the role of emptiness in the painted surface, the process of reframing, and the inspiration that comes from old films and photographs.

<span>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.<br /><br />Contributor: Chua Chye Teck <br />Conducted by: Anna Lovecchio <br />Programme Manager: Kristine Tan <br />Sound Engineer: Ashwin Menon (The Music Parlour)<br />Intro & Outro Music: Tini Aliman<br />Cover Image & Design: Arabelle Zhuang, Kristine Tan<br /></span>

<p>In our third episode, we open up this platform for the first time to a guest interviewer. We invited artist and filmmaker Kent Chan to pick the brain of our Artist-in-Residence Yeo Siew Hua. Beyond being both filmmakers and artists, Siew Hua and Kent have been occasional collaborators in the past and, most importantly, they are also long-time friends. Hear them speak candidly about the intertwined cycles of art-making and fund-raising, the blurred line between cinema and visual arts, as well as the philosophical underpinnings and the importance of collaboration in Siew Hua’s practice. </p>
<p>The practice of Yeo Siew Hua (b. 1985, Singapore) spans film directing and screenwriting. His films probe the darkest side of contemporary society through narratives layered with mysterious atmospheres, inscrutable characters, and mythological references, all steeped in arresting visuals and sounds. His last feature film <em>A Land Imagined </em>(2018) harnessed recognition around the world receiving the Golden Leopard at the 71st Locarno Film Festival and the Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Music Score Awards at the 56th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival. </p>
<p>After <em>A Land Imagined</em>, Siew Hua has created a number of short films, one of which, <em>An Invocation to the Earth </em>(2020), commissioned by the Singapore International Film Festival and TBA21, was co-produced with NTU CCA Singapore. <em>An Invocation to the Earth </em>can be viewed online at <a href="http://www.stage.tba21.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.stage.tba21.org</a>. During the residency, Siew Hua has been completing his next major production titled <em>The Once and Future</em>, an expanded cinema project which will premiere at the Singapore International Festival of Arts 2022. In 2021, he received the Young Artist Award, Singapore’s highest award for young arts practitioners.<br /><br /><span>Kent Chan (b. 1984, Singapore) is an artist, curator, and filmmaker currently based in Amsterdam. His practice weaves encounters between art, fiction, and cinema with a particular interest in the tropical imagination, colonialism, and the relation between heat and art. He has held solo presentations at Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Netherlands (2020-21), National University Singapore Museum (2019-21) and SCCA-Ljubljana, Centre for Contemporary Arts, Slovenia (2017). He was Artist-in-Residence at Jan van Eyck Academie (2019-20) and at NTU CCA Singapore (2017-2018). </span><br /><br /><span>Contributors: Yeo Siew Hua, Kent Chan </span><br /><span>Conducted by: Anna Lovecchio </span><br /><span>Programme Manager: Kristine Tan </span><br /><span>Sound Engineer: Ashwin Menon (The Music Parlour)</span><br /><span>Intro & Outro Music: Tini Aliman </span><br /><span>Cover Image & Design: Arabelle Zhuang, Kristine Tan</span><br /><br /><span>Credits:</span><br /><span>06:42: Audio excerpt from Yeo Siew Hua, </span><em>A Land Imagined</em><span>, 2018.
