'Labyrinths (Libraries)' (2022-ongoing) is a set of images resembling maps of spaces produced out of tight #grids. These are are spaces that are highly organised, with very little room for any form of #improvisation. Horizontal and vertical lines dominate the surfaces of these paintings, forming #pathways that are navigated in one's mind but not break out of. Within every #library, we can locate books which contain many opposing ideas. These #paintings think about multiplicity and the relations between these books and the spaces between them as a landscape of our contemporary time. The visual language within each painting found in 'Labyrinths (Libraries)' is a constant oscillation between positive and negative spaces; sparking an interest in thinking about how ideas can be easily veiled and hidden behind other ideas. 'Cover (Versions)' (2009-ongoing) is an on-going series of #bookcovers imagined as paintings. The selected titles are taken from an extensive and #idiosyncratic list that is constantly expanding via #recommendations sent to him by his friends. Most of these books have never been #read at the time the painting is produced, but is to be read at some point in his life. Each painting is improvised; there has never been an assumption of how the painting might look. Chong discursively exhausts two sets of parallel vocabularies found in painting and graphic design. The abstracted book covers are not intended as reflections on or interpretations of their literary titles, but rather as a way to highlight relationships between textual and non-textual forms. #HemanChong #ROHProjects #STPIGallery #Indonesia #Jakarta #CoverVersions #LabyrinthsLibraries #Bookstagram #Booksofig #booksofinstagram #books #book #libraries #library (at ROH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmD0TFTrXoO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not Today Maybe Tomorrow My new tote bag I made for @rohprojects, appropriated from a sentence once said to me and a bunch of friends in Berlin by a bouncer to a club who deemed us too drunk to enter. #NotTodayMaybeTomorrow #Totebag #ROHProjects #Jakarta #Indonesia (at ROH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8V1chLjY3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This space is fast becoming one of my top favourites to work with. There’s so much empathy. So much detritus from the previous occupants woven into our shared present. #ROHProjects #Jakarta #Indonesia (at ROH Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl27saIr5-s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been working on this new series of paintings that thinks about the spaces between books as passages that can be navigated as if one is attempting to read the library as a landscape of multiple, conflicting ideas. I’m surprised how much the negative spaces in these paintings resemble spines of books on shelves. The title of the series is ‘Labyrinths (Libraries)’ and I’ll be showing the first of these with @rohprojects later this year in December. Enjoying my time making these! So pleasurable! #HemanChong #LabyrinthsLibraries #RohProjects #Jakarta #Indonesia #Libraries #Library #libariesofinstagram #librariesmatter #librariesofig #bookshelf #bookshelvesofinstagram #books #book #bookstagram #booklover #booknerd #bookpainting #booksonbooks (at ROH Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chbcz2YlsG_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love spending time at the @metmuseum. I would often spend an entire day in it, just walking and allowing every object and artefact to wash into my consciousness and hopefully surface as something in my work in the future. An object that I was very drawn to are these social distancing signs that I regard of as a part of the ecology of the museum; an sign of the times. I took a photograph of it with my iPhone 11 and am planning to use it within a solo show that I’m working on with @rohprojects in Jakarta that will open in December this year. I have absolutely no idea how I’ll use it but I’m sure it’ll come to me (hopefully sometime soon). The show’s about many of the things that I often think about; collections of things, spaces of knowledge, communications and misunderstandings… stuff. Working a lot these days in preparation for a couple of solos that will open this year and the next. Looking forward to a month of walking in Seoul in September after a week of hustling during Frieze. Terribly jetlagged. It’s 7:06 am and I’ve been up all night, my mind spinning at both ends, thinking up new works. Sigh. #MetMuseum #MetMuseumNYC #ROHProjects #HemanChong #AvoidGathering #SocialDistancing #Covid19 #Pandemic2022 #Pandemic #SlowLiving (at ROH Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxmepKv5Fp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'(Free) Trade' (2022) is a new work that appropriates the #architecture of an #artfair booth and transposes it as a large scale, #temporary situation that is located in the middle of the #gallery. It is a minimalist #sculpture that surfaces out of a set of #instructions, constructed whenever it is #exhibited. After the show, it is #dismantled and #recycled, only to #reappear at the next show. Born out of Chong's interest in the #infrastructures found in everyday life, '(Free) Trade' #transposes the #ubiquitous art fair #booth straight into the #gallery, producing a space of #contemplation, not unlike structures like #pavilions in #gardens or #jetties at #lakes. It is via this #emptiness and #nothingness that we can collectively think about the #possibilities of these spaces as sites of #meanings that can arise out of our own #imagining. #FreeTrade #HemanChong #ROHProjects #Jakarta #Indonesia (at ROH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_NkgvLtfL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
