For the past 31 years, the numerous spaces within and around @the_substation have been important to many people in many different ways. For me, the space that I have had to negotiate the most with is the gallery space on the ground floor. The first time I ever showed anything to anyone publicly was in this space. It was a small group show that #KuoPaoKun conceived back in #1993 called #Memories. I showed three drawings that depicted the slow passing of my grandfather. Since then, I have made 4 solo exhibitions in this space. My sensibility about #exhibitionmaking was honed in this space. I cannot begin to describe how important those formative years have been to me, how important it was for Sasi, Jennifer, Weng, Audrey, Yuni, Su-May, to receive this over-energetic kid throwing all kinds of raw, unedited ideas at them and them never saying no. Next weekend is the last weekend that this version of #TheSubstation will exist. I don’t really know how to deal with this, and in so many ways, I don’t think I can ever know. #Goodbyes #NumerousThings (at The Substation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfH6PWlmhR/?utm_medium=tumblr

How to talk about my art or paintings

For many years I’ve refused to talk about what my paintings mean.I would get frustrated when people asked me. “It isn’t about ME – it’s about YOU: I just want you to react, to have your own personal relationship and response to the painting, leave me out of it!” My stance was based on Magritte’s definition of art as mystery, a little bit of interest in Zen philosophy, and a general dislike towards speaking and arguing with people.

I understand my previous opinion, and still support it – however I’ve learned that it just won’t work if I want to be a ‘real’ artist.

You HAVE to have something intelligent to say about each one of your paintings. Why you painted it, how you painted it, what for, what it means to you, how it makes you feel. Words are an integral part of human cognition and understanding.While they may feel an emotional response to a painting, it will only trigger their curiosity. They may want to know more about the piece, about the artist, about life in general.

I used to think a painting was a mountain scene to be awed by; or perhaps a smooth forest pond that gives the viewer a reflection of themselves.

It isn’t. Actually – it’s a window into the mind of the artist. It can either be a dirty window, that a viewer peers into fruitlessly and soon moves on, or it can be clean and shiny, full of fantastic and interesting things inside, that makes the viewer stay and look, fascinated.

Luckily, you have the power to create the scene the viewer sees. The painting is the window frame – the description of your paintings is the fanciful decoration and action taking place inside the frame.

I’m not a big talker, and I usually panic when someone asks me to explain “what it means” (something I’m obviously working to correct, because it is a necessary skill). However I like to write. Recently, the curator at my last exhibition printed out all of the comments and descriptions I’d written about my paintings – on Facebook, Flickr, and my website – and put them up next to the paintings.

It was amazing. At first I felt a little naked – I was really putting MYSELF out there now, all of my limited, opinionated, and controversial beliefs. But I noticed that the visitors spent much more time in the gallery, reading everything, and had a much deeper response and interaction with me and my work. Even better, I didn’t get harder any questions like “what does it mean/what are you trying to say” because it was all written down.

If you’re like me, you just like to paint and don’t really think about a specific ‘thing you’re trying to say’ with your paintings. But people will still want to know and you MUST be able to answer them. Sotell them about yourself.Think about who you are, what you believe in, your hopes, dreams, fears, how you feel when you paint, what you want to do/discover/learn in your life – these are all things that may have influenced your work.

When talking about a specific painting, look at it for a while, drink a glass of wine ; how does it make YOU feel? What does it remind you of? A special time or place in your life? Something deeper?

Write it down if it helps. Practice saying it out loud. Post it on your website/printed materials. Be consistent, concise and eloquent… otherwise you end up stammering with your pants down.

The Tomorrow People Curated by Christina Barton, Stephen Cleland and Simon Gennard 22 July – 1 October 2017

What is contemporary curatorial thought?

“ Current discourse on the topic is heating up with a new cocktail of bold ideas and ethical imperatives. these include: cooperative curating, especially with artists; the reimagination of museums; curating as knowledge production; the historicization of exhibitionmaking; and commitment to extra-artworld participatory activism. Less obvious, but increasingly of concern, are issues such as rethinking spectatorship, engaging viewers as co-curators and the challenge of curating contemporaneity itself. In these five essays, art historian and theorist Terry Smith surveys the international landscape of current thinking by curators; explores a number of exhibitions that show contemporaneity in recent, present and past art; describes the enormous growth world wide of exhibition infrastructure and the instability that haunts it; re-examines the contribution of artist-curators and questions the rise of curators utilizing artistic strategies; and, finally, assesses a number of key tendencies in curating as responses to contemporary conditions. Thinking Contemporary Curating is the first book to comprehensively chart the variety of practices of curating undertaken today, and to think through, systematically, what is distinctive about contemporary curatorial thought. “

It only seems like #yesterday when my gallerist @stephfong33 proposed that I make a show with #GaryRossPastrana to @isalorenzomanila and @rach_rillo of @silverlensgalleries. It was one of the most #memorable #exhibitionmaking #processes ever. Working with Gary @collage_a_day_everyday was immensely rewarding as we were somehow able to #think through each other's work via our own practices without coming into any kind of #consensus about what to show or what not to show. The resulting show surfaced out of that #complexity as well as the generosities we have given each other. Our exhibition in #Malate #Manila closes this weekend. I am very sad to see it go but also very happy that it has had such a long exhibition run, filled with very strange public programs like Gary's idea of screening #Lost in reverse haha what a #mindfuck. Go and catch the show this weekend if you haven't seen it. A #book is due to arrive soon in the near future! We are not in a rush to finish it and it will take as much time as it needs and this is the real legacy of Calle Wright: that we finally can just take our own time. It is the last act of #NeverIsAPromise and is a contribution by the wonderous #writer and #poet #QuinnLatimer @ql_ql_ql_ql. I am very much looking forward to it! #HemanChong (at Calle Wright)
