Forum: The Attraction of Representation - The Otolith Group, Marian Pastor Roces, T.K. Sabapathy, June Yap
Description
21 Jun 2014, Sat 3:00pm - 5:30pm
A forum featuring The Otolith Group, Marian Pastor Roces, T. K. Sabapathy and June Yap.
The idea of “country” powerfully embodies notions of identity, belonging, community and genealogy. When viewers engage global contemporary art, there is often the reflex to locate the artist by ethnicity and geography. Today, many artists seem burdened, perhaps unduly, to represent their place in the world. An individual artist may always speak from a place, but must he or she always speak about it? While the title of the exhibition, No Country may appear as if to negate country and nation, the aim of the forum is not to make declarations but rather to raise questions for discussion and dialogue.
A public programme of No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia.
