Book Launch | Performances|136 Goethe Lab
About
When did contemporary art in Southeast Asia first emerge, in what conditions, and what forms did it take? Join us for a special evening of discussions and performances that deconstruct the roots of contemporary art in Southeast Asia.
In this programme, art historian and curator Iola Lenzi presents her recent book, examining the conditions that formed Southeast Asian contemporary art. Then, in collaboration with artists and independent art-space founders Jeremy Hiah (Your Mother Gallery, Singapore); Josephine Turalba (Philippines); Justin Loke (Singapore), Mella Jaarsma (Cemeti Art House, Jogjakarta), and Natalia Kraevskaia (Salon Natasha, Hanoi), the panel examines and debates the role of non-conventional venues for art in Southeast Asia past, present, and future. The evening will end with performances by Mella Jaarsma, Jeremy Hiah, and Josephine Turalba.
Date: Friday, 24 April
Time: 6 to 9pm
