While in residence, he will search for evidence of Khayalan Island amidst the paradoxes of the rapidly changing harbour. Historical maps will be redrawn based on collective imaginations of space and sea vessels will be rebuilt to visit contingent islands at risk of vanishing. A search for this imaginary island in the social and ecological realities of today provides the basis for a book of stories as well as newly created artworks.]]> James Jack]]> Writing/Text]]> Southeast Asia]]> Artistic Research]]> Education]]>

Ways of Seeing]]> Instructions on Viewing the Landscape is an long-term exercise in seeing the bigger picture, literally and figuratively, which subtly challenges notions of national identity and colonialism. Articulated through a complex set of rules, this conceptual work is an investigative device aimed to unpack the history of late 19th century Filipino art – a period of significant political changes propelled by the revolutions against the Spanish rule. In re-examining and reviewing the landscapes of celebrated painters Juan Luna (1857 – 1899) and Félix Resurrección Hidalgo (1855 – 1913), the artist locates their vanishing points and brings to the fore unexpected tensions between the viewer and the artwork. Over the course of his residency, Calubayan will extend the scope of the project in order to pinpoint the metaphorical vanishing points in Singapore’s landscape, locating their historical, economic, and religious coordinates.]]> Buen Calubayan]]> Writing/Text]]> Southeast Asia]]> History]]> Indigenous Knowledge]]> Bridget Reweti]]> Writing/Text]]> Oceania]]> History]]> Baptist Coelho]]> Writing/Text]]> Asia]]> Performance]]> History]]> Politics]]>
As a critically reflective artist and thinker, Haykal’s work examines the perceptions, relevance and culture of sound and music. This is often materialised through collaborations with artists across all fields as a means to discover new musical forms. These compositions can be interpreted as language in which to understand wider politics at play.]]>
