My work comprises charcoal drawings and videos that investigate analogies between different times, places, and personas, seeking out group attitudes or patterns that reveal parallel psychological or emotional states across diverse cultural settings. Aby Warbug has theorized what he calls the “pathos formula,” an age-old theme that either lingers or reappears in later societies. For […]

I want to understand the intersection between my personal journey into my body to release childhood trauma and the cultural journey to heal the violence of genocide, slavery, and forced migration. Trauma heaped on bodies. What keeps us from connection, wholeheartedness, compassion? Legal scholar and activist Dr. Isabelle Gunning says, “Know your history; know the […]
Yang Che-Yi
Contemporary photographic artist, now dwells in Yi Lan, has been a badminton player since childhood. He was studying in environmental science after he grown up. In 2006, he withdrew his study because of a serious illness after his trip back from India. He begins to reconsider the meaning of life, then turn to the decision […]
Stijn Ank
Ank’s body of work can be considered as an extensive research into the relationship between matter and void and the various ways in which contemporary sculpture can be defined in relation to its surrounding space. He creates a mold with a variety of materials marking off the boundaries of a certain chosen space, which he […]

I am half Puerto-Rican and half Filipino, but was never taught Spanish or Tagalog respectively. Because of this, I’ve always experienced language as a kind of landscape of sounds first. The language that I have been constructing, Spaundou (pronounced “SPAWN-doo”) is a way of recreating this experience for the audience. Through a mix of music, […]
Lyndal Walker
Lyndal Walker’s work investigates the construction of images, gender roles and our relationship to time. Fashion, as reference, subject matter and context has been important to her practice although her work emerges out of an ambivalent relationship to consumer culture. She is fascinated by our voraciousness but also finds it deeply morbid. While she has […]
Heba Y. Amin
Heba Y. Amin’s work is embedded in extensive research and a studio practice that looks at the convergence of politics, technology, and urbanism. Working with various media, her work investigates the impact of infrastructure on the human psyche through junctures, glitches and flawed memory. By combining interconnected histories, her approach problematizes the narratives situated in […]

“My interests range from outmoded science and history, archaeology, neuroscience, to language, libraries, and cultural genocide. Whether creating archaeological archives of garbage, writing How-To manuals for building a nation, diagnosing peculiar forms of urban malaise where digital dandruff and pixel dust cloud the contemporary brain, building immortal jellyfish, or a pseudo-museum environment, my often tongue-in-cheek […]

My work in performance, installation, and video uses pop cultural tropes and dark humour to address thorny subjects such as religion, gender and sexuality. Singing has been an important part of my live and my recorded performances. Popular song structures are rearranged and recontextualised to fit narratives of experiences like pregnancy or sex work on […]

I am mainly guided by the secret of the image, and perhaps less by a linear narrative or rationale. Working predominately with mixed-media installations that combine drawing, painting, sculpture and print, the work emerges through a long process of condensation in search of pictorial incidents. The visual world, it seems to me, has foremost to […]
