<br />What can be glimpsed from Ulrike Ottinger’s images of China in the transitional period following the Cultural Revolution? Dr van Dongen will discuss the images through the lens of the changing economic, social, and cultural fabric of 1980s and 1990s China. Apart from reflecting on what we can gain from placing the images in their historical context, the presentation will also explore various other layers of the relation between art and history.<br /><br />A public programme of <em>Ulrike Ottinger: China.

<br />Accomplished artist and filmmaker Amar Kanwar will speak to curators Professor Ute Meta Bauer, and Dr June Yap about his unique cinematic vocabulary that opens up multiple layers of experience and comprehension. The conversation will revolve around politics of power, violence, and justice, looking at how political struggles are presented and represented as well as issues of development, misappropriation, and displacement. When engaging in various ways of seeing and comprehending, a set of propositions given by Kanwar study the notion of “poetry as evidence”. <br /><br />This conversation is a public programme organised as part of <em>Amar Kanwar:</em> <i>The Sovereign Forest.</i> <i><i><br /><br /><br /></i></i>

<div class="event_single_venue">The Single Screen, Block 43 Malan Road<br /><br />The histories of photography and film in Thailand intersect in multiple ways. Yet the revelatory, iconic nature of photography in this context has meant that it has often been considered separate from filmic practice in which the "real" lacks weight. The trans-disciplinary nature of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's practice, described by Dr May Adadol Ingawanij and Dr David Teh as "permeable," complicates these distinctions. Despite Apichatpong's preference for cinema and video, the photographic is implied through the slow, rhythmic pace of his time-based works, as well as their reconstituion as stills. By aligning these references with the implications of different media forms in the Thai context, this presentation considers the role of the photographic and the filmic to reveal and conceal, and how medium specificity is implicated in the visualisation of traumatic pasts that resist representation.</div>

<span>21 Sep 2015, Mon - 22 Sep 2015, Tue 1:00pm - 4:00pm</span><br /><br />As part of overarching research theme PLACE.LABOUR.CAPITAL., the 2-day workshop <i>Darcy Lange: Hard, however, and useful is the small, day-to-day work</i> conducted by Curator <b>Mercedes Vicente</b> takes the video and photographic work of New Zealand Darcy Lange (1946-2005) as the starting point for discussions concerning the representation of labour. During the 1970s, Lange developed a socially engaged video practice, with remarkable studies of people at work that draw from documentary traditions as well as conceptual and structuralist videomaking. Lange explored the issue of labour in Britain, New Zealand and Spain. Like Allan Sekula’s adherence to a critical realism in his photographic practice, Lange reintroduced too the social referentially in his photography and videomaking and stressed the “responsibility to keep questioning the nature and power of realism”. With his seminal style of real-time, unedited, without commentary, lengthy observations of workers that came to characterise his <i>Work Studies</i> series (1972-77), Lange aimed to “convey the image of work as work, as an occupation, as an activity, as creativity and as a time consumer”. <br /><br />Through a selection of videos based on thematic and aesthetic concerns, this workshop will address labour as a theme and examine its representation from its multiple phenomenological, socio-political, art historical and theoretical perspectives. It will consider the representation of labour in Lange’s studies of people at work in its manifold meanings, including work and the human body as an expression of class and identity, and work as a performative gesture and its choreographic dimension. It will address the politics of representation and Lange’s interest in exploring the political and critical potential of video and the relationship between the camera, subject and spectator. In his series Work Studies in Schools (1976-77), the studies of teachers’ performances were extended by the videotaping of the teachers’ and pupils’ reactions to the recordings, becoming an intrinsic part of the document. Subscribing to the Marxist ideals of the democratisation of culture, Lange saw in <i>Work Studies in Schools</i> another way of making documentaries that insisted on this democratic process, speaking of these tapes as “our collective truth”. Seen by the artist as “researches” and “an educational process” and by exposing the process, Lange’s videos become in themselves studies of videotaping as a work activity. Much of Lange’s work is an attempt to redefine the basis of his art activity and its function and social purpose. <br /><br />To register please RSVP to NTUCCAeducation@ntu.edu.sg <br /><br />In the framework of <i>Darcy Lange: Hard However, and useful is the small, day-to-day work</i> a workshop by Mercedes Vicente, Indonesian Visual Art Archive (IVAA) will give a presentation on archival work in Indonesia at Singapore Art Archive Project space by Koh Nguang How, former NTU CCA Singapore Artist-in-Residence.

Thao-Nguyen Phan will expand her research on the introduction of the Latin alphabet as a writing system in Vietnam, exploring how the same transition occurred in other Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In Vietnam, the Romanised script was first introduced in the 17th century by catholic missionaries to spread Christianity, playing a significant role in the process of colonization of the country. While official accounts celebrate the adoption of the Latin alphabet as a symbol of modernity, the implications of this historical process are far more complex and tell stories of cultural loss and gain, national amnesia, and violence.
