<p><strong>Residencies OPEN</strong><span> </span>reveals the rich diversity of contemporary art practices by offering a rare insight into the creative processes that unfold inside the artist’s studios. Discover how the space of the studio constitutes a springboard for artistic experimentation, innovation, and research.</p>
<p>This session of Residencies OPEN offers a unique opportunity for the public to meet our Artists-in-Residence<span> </span><strong>Anthony Chin</strong>,<span> </span><strong>Irfan Kasban</strong>, and<span> </span><strong>Shahmen Suku</strong><span> </span>(all Singapore)! Come visit the NTU CCA Singapore Residencies Studios to encounter their works-in-progress and explore the processes and research interests developed during their residencies.</p>
<p><em>The 10<sup>th</sup> Cycle of the Residencies Programme by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore is supported by<span> </span>National Arts Council. This cycle hosts six Singapore Artists-in-Residence: Yanyun Chen, Anthony Chin, Irfan Kasban, Ben Loong, Shahmen Suku, and Zulkhairi Zulkiflee.<br /><br /></em><strong></strong><strong>Anthony Chin<br /></strong><br />Saturdays, 20 January & 27 January, 2:00 – 9:00pm<br />Sundays, 21 January & 28 January, 2:00 – 7:00pm<br />Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03<br /><br />Anthony Chin dedicated the past five months researching Singapore’s colonial past through sites such as Gillman Barracks and its surrounding locations. The artist is interested in the historic relationship between Singapore and Japan, and during his residency he looked into OKA 9420, a biological laboratory established by the Imperial Japanese Army soon after the Fall of Singapore in 1942. Anthony seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the history of bio-chemical warfare while unpacking current ethical concerns surrounding the rapid advancements in science and technology. Presented during Residencies Open is <em>OKA-9420, </em>a new work developed during the artists stay at Gillman Barracks. This work is accompanied by three existing works:<em> Air Doa Selamat </em>(2020), <em>TROPHY </em>(2020), and <em>Rinann Steel Mill – INGOT </em>(2021).<br /><br />The artist will be conducting tours throughout the two weekends. Each tour lasts approximately 35 minutes.<br />Saturdays, 20 & 27 January: 3pm, 5pm, 7pm<br />Sundays, 21 & 28 January: 3pm, 5pm</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Irfan Kasban</strong></h4>
<p>Saturdays, 20 January & 27 January, 2:00 – 9:00pm<br />Sundays, 21 January & 28 January, 2:00 – 7:00pm<br />Block 37 Malan Road, #01-01<br /><br />Irfan Kasban has spent his residency expanding his long-term research project <em>Port of Reciprocity</em>, also the namesake for his studio these past five months which has been opened up as a site for visitors from all walks of life. Hosting a series of activities including cooking, screenings, and sharing sessions, this convivial get together is born out of the artists own experience of burn out. For Residencies Open, visitors will encounter objects created by the artist which can all be activated to make sound. Facilitated activations will be conducted by invited collaborators over the two weekends with hopes of creating a song that comforts the collective consciousness.</p>
<p class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Shahmen Suku</strong></p>
<p>Saturdays, 20 January & 27 January, 2:00 – 9:00pm<br />Sundays, 21 January & 28 January, 2:00 – 7:00pm<br />Block 37 Malan Road, #01-02<br /><br />Shahmen Suku explores his own Tamil culture through his family history, cultural ceremony, and food. Having previously addressed different aspects of the rich Tamil cultural traditions of his maternal lineage via the alter ego Radha, the artist has spent his residency letting go of this persona and directly confronting the conflicting and multipolar narratives of his family history which include economic struggles, heated arguments, health issues, and prolonged disagreements. Presented in his studio is documentation of a recent trip to India, alongside research conducted in Singapore that evidence the artist’s attempt to further uncover the story of his maternal grandfather. Documentation on display includes photographs, films, government documents, recipes, and the artist’s family tree that traces back three generations to his grandfather who first migrated to Singapore.</p>

<p><strong>ZULKHAIRI ZULKIFLEE<br /><em>WORLD</em></strong><br />Lecture performance</p>
<p>Saturday, 12 August, 2.00 – 2.30pm<br />Sunday, 13 August, 2.00 – 2.30pm<br />Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03</p>
<p>In this lecture performance, Zulkhairi Zulkiflee unpacks the nuances of Singaporean-Malay slang ‘world’. The colloquial use of ‘world,’ as employed in the Singaporean context, mainly refers to insubstantial claims that tend towards self-aggrandizement. By subjecting this colloquial parlance to creative examination, the artistic navigates the semantic scope of the term and traces out a multiplicity of obscured knowledge trajectories. Employing primary sources, social media, and insights from postcolonial theories, the lecture performance acts as a creative intellectual endeavour that glides through disciplinary boundaries, different structures of signification, the particular and the universal to connect local contexts with broader global frameworks.</p>

<p><strong>Residencies OPEN</strong><span> </span>offers a rare insight into the artists’ creative process making their studios accessible to the public.

<p>Saturday, 12 August – Sunday, 13 August 2023<br />2:00 – 7:00 pm<br />Block 38 Malan Road, #01-07<br /><br />Capturing two lines of artistic inquiry that have been unfolding in parallel during her residency, this presentation features the main strands of Yanyun Chen’s practice: the pictorial experiments with botanical forms and her engagement with the intergenerational transmission of pain, shame, and trauma inspired by her own family’s stories. In the past months, the artist has been working on her largest drawings to date. Made with charcoal on aluminium, the two drawings are at different stages of development. Both feature complex floral arrangements devoid of colour and the painstakingly realistic rendition of these botanical forms is complicated by the introduction of unnatural distortions, almost akin to digital glitches, that instill a sense of movement into the tradition of still-life painting. <br /><br />The other research thread explores techniques of physical discipline employed in the family context, their long-lasting effects on individuals as well as the tools of their enforcement. Visitors are invited to browse a variety of research materials, from articles and books addressing physical punishment to surveys conducted by the Singapore’s Children Society and findings drawn from personal conversations with relatives and friends. Alongside the text-based materials are the artist’s manipulations of the instruments of domestic discipline themselves, specifically rattan canes and feather dusters. Breaking down the fibers of rattan canes, Yanyun is experimenting with the act of weaving to explore both the materials and the craftsmanship objects of discipline are made of. They are accompanied by a video work the artist is developing in collaboration with animator Dave Lim. Inspired by the notion of imprinting in relation to both film-making processes (the latent image) and the consequences of caning on a person’s mind and body, the video is composed by a series of flickering closeups that animate the texture of cane.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>BEN LOONG</strong></span></p>
<p>Saturday, 12 August – Sunday, 13 August 2023<br />2:00 – 7:00pm<br />Blk 37 Malan Road, #01-02</p>
<p>Bringing together a long-standing interest in the materiality of urban structures, the conceptual frictions between fine arts and craftsmanship, and his professional ceramic practice, Ben Loong has spent his residency looking at the history of brick production in Singapore. Now a defunct trade, the art of masonry used to be a burgeoning industry during the colonial era. Reflecting upon the different forms of labour involved in the material production and usages of bricks, the presentation for Residencies OPEN includes the artist’s current explorations around these subjects and two previous works, EB and SB (both 2018), made of resinated gypsum plaster on wood, which were also inspired by brick bond patterns.<br /><br />The multiplicity of brick structures and laying patterns is at the core of the artist’s research. Over the past months, a collection was formed made of bricks found in different parts of Singapore—from sidewalks and construction sites to the forested area around the studio. The bricks are displayed to illustrate a wide variety of structural morphologies. Alongside the found objects are the artist’s own sketches and prototypes: a series of watercolours realised with powder obtained by grinding bricks; experimentations with brick ‘seals’ and Chinese ink on paper; and an industrial brick that was subjected to firing and glazing. Also available is an interactive map of still-existing brick buildings in Singapore which visitors are invited to explore and contribute to.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>ZULKHAIRI ZULKIFLEE</strong></span><br /><br /><span>Saturday, 12 August – Sunday, 13 August 2023</span><br /><span>2:00 – 7:00 pm</span><br /><span>Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03</span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>In the past five months of his residency, Zulkhairi Zulkiflee has been developing </span><em>World as Method,</em><span> a project that riffs off the Singaporean-Malay slang “world” in relation to the postcolonial notion of “worlding”. As theorised by literary scholar and feminist critic Gayatri Spivak, “worlding” refers to one’s conceptualisation of the world devised through colonial attachments. On the other hand, in colloquial Singaporean-Malay “world” is used to signal boastful aspirations towards a social status higher than one’s own, often conveyed through self-aggrandising story-telling. The creative outcomes of Zulkhairi’s conceptual engagement with different concepts and practices of “world-ing” are presented in the studio. </span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>Through a series of interviews with friends, academics, and fellow creatives, the artist developed a word-associative map which led him to ‘pondok’ (Malay for shelter, or pavilion). Similar pavilions are a common fixture in Singapore’s public housing estates where, as the artist himself experienced, they are used by Singaporean-Malay youth as a place to gather and hang out. The floating installation created for Residencies OPEN evokes the pondok as a space for communality and suspension from the hyper-productive and utilitarian mechanics of contemporary society. Furthermore this studio presentation also includes a selection of the artist’s research materials and prototypes that attempt to articulate concepts of ‘world’ through the language of sculpture and monument. </span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>Part of this Residencies OPEN session is also a lecture performance titled </span><em>World</em><span> which will take place on Saturday, 12 August and Sunday, 13 August from 2.00 – 2.30pm. </span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
Wrapping up our third season, we invited back curator Hsu Fang-Tze to dig deep into the practice of Artist-in-Residence Anthony Chin. In their insightful exchange, Anthony discusses his art-making process that often begins with extensive research into archives addressing imperial and colonial histories, and how this eventually informs the conceptualisation of his site-specific installations that bring to light the geopolitical reverberations that continue to resonate until today. Anthony also considers how his background in industrial design has shaped his practice and interest in the symbolic significance of objects.

In this episode, we invited curator Syaheedah Iskandar to explore the multidimensional practice of Artist-in-Residence Irfan Kasban. This conversation marks a full-circle moment for the two as they first collaborated for Hutang Belantara, a public programme at NTU CCA Singapore back in 2016 when Syaheedah was Curatorial Assistant with us at the Centre. The two trace through Irfan’s background that has seen him wear varying hats, weaving through theatre and sound, and addressing what drew to the arts. Irfan also opens up about the significance of curiosity in guiding his working process that is largely collaborative, open, and ever-evolving. He also shares about the various communal activities he held in the studio that he has affectionately called Port of Reciprocity, also the title of his long-term research project.

An account of the resource
This episode features a conversation between Artist-in-Residence Shahmen Suku and Singaporean artist Moses Tan. With disparate practices, the two find synergy as they uncover shared ground in their drawn-out path in becoming a visual artist. They discuss how Shahmen’s experience growing up as a minority in Singapore shaped his practice that employs humour and double-meanings to confront difficult truths. Shahmen also ponders upon the position he occupies in straddling the lines between performance within theatre, performativity, and performance within the visual arts.

In this episode, we entrusted curator and scholar Karin Oen to converse with our Artist-in-Residence Yanyun Chen. The two come together for a fascinating conversation revolving around the significance of the studio in Yanyun’s practice, revealing how it can act as a stable space for generative experimentation, exploration, and inspiration during transitional periods. Throughout the exchange, Yanyun divulges the importance of materiality in her practice, how the residency has influenced new modes of thinking and working, and the innocuous comments that kindled her interest towards her current research project. They also touch upon Yanyun’s concurrent practices, contemplating the value in allowing them to unfold and weave together naturally.

In this episode, curator Syed Muhammad Hafiz digs deep into the practice of Artist-in-Residence Ben Loong. We are pleased to bring the two of them back together since their last collaboration two years ago for Squaring the Circle, Ben’s solo exhibition curated by Hafiz. In this contemplative conversation, the two trace their concurrent professional growth over the years of collaboration and friendship, all while delving into Ben’s ever evolving artistic sensibilities and interests. They address the significance of the studio space for the development of a material-based practice and how the discipline necessary to upkeep such a space seeps into Ben’s everyday routine. Throughout the conversation, they also weave in discussions on the perennial question of form versus function, the future of ceramics in the current era of technological emphasis, as well as other core themes underlying Ben’s practice such as the value of labour, craftsmanship, and aesthetics in the art world.

An account of the resource
Kicking off the first episode of our third season, we hand the microphone over to acclaimed playwright, writer, and poet Alfian Sa’at for a conversation with our Artist-in-Residence Zulkhairi Zulkiflee. In this insightful exchange dotted with amusing observations on Singaporean Malay slang, the two trace Zulkhairi’s artistic trajectory—from his educational background to his ongoing inquiry into Malay social ontology and into the politics of representation. Throughout the conversation, they discuss the trope of the “Malay boy” that features prominently across Zulkhairi’s body of work, addressing questions of agency, empowerment, and the subject-object dichotomy in art. Zulkhairi also opens up about his current research on the Malay slang word “world” which he frames as a concept and a creative proposition to find new ways of looking at historical representations of minorities.
