Brief:
The idea for this satellite show is to create a suitcase
exhibit. A suitcase exhibit refers to a set of works that are designed to
travel. It is an exhibit that can expand
or shrink its size depending on the exhibit space allocated for it. Choosing
this format means that the artists and curator of Project Glocal are ready to
travel, to meet more people, to expand our horizons, to involve more people in
our committed conversations. DiverseCity
is an opportunity for Project Glocal to test the extent of the relationship
that we forged.
The theme, coming from working title Dezipcoding, are
conjoined words—decoding and zipcode. In
this show, Project Glocal is decoding zipcodes, which implies that we are not
just talking about blurring boundaries; this time we are participating in the
blurring.
The section devoted to Project Glocal in the SIF exhibit
DiverseCity will have three types of work: new projects, on-going projects and collaborative
projects.
New projects are supposedly product of the artist’s
exploration of city that is part of Project Glocal other than his own. As of
date the following expressed their interest to produce new works: Urich Lau,
Black Baroque Committee, Mark Salvatus, Jason Wee, Song Ming Ang and Riel
Hilario.
Luke Ching will bring his on-going project "Folk Art Series", a performance/workshop.
Collaborative works are also new works envisioned during
conversations of Project Glocal artists in the past. Those who are currently
working are:
- Vichaya Mukdamanee, Wantanee Siripattanuntakul, Warawut Tourawong, Rutheirat Kumsrichan and Esther Yip Lai Man
- Tang Kwok Hin and Mimi Tecson
- Tang Ling Nah, Irma Lacorte and Mark Salvatus
- Jittagarn Kaewtinkoy, Thosapol Boribon, Preeyachanok, Mideo Cruz and Wesley Valenzuela
- Anton del Castillo and Jaffa Lam
