Southeast Asian Video Screening : Bombay Sapphire Art Projects 2008
Our first line-up for the Bombay Sapphire Art Projects this year is the Southeast Asian Video Screening to be held at Valentine Willie Fine Art Project Room from 20 September – 11 October 2008. The screening highlights some of the most exciting and challenging screen-based practices from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Working in collaboration with curators around the region, the exhibition brings together video works and experimental films from four neighbouring countries, providing Malaysian audience with a rare opportunity to study and compare the various trends and styles in video art that has emerged through the different contexts and cultures that have made Southeast Asia a diverse and complex region.
From Indonesia, art curator Agung Hujatnikajennong features in his broad yet in-depth survey, some of the most exciting artists from Bandung, Yogyakarta and Jakarta working with the video medium. Manila-based film critic and lecturer Alexis Tioseco will compile a selection of video works that not only looks into the formal innovation of emerging Filipino names but also engages with the socio-cultural history of the nation.
‘The More Things Change…’, curated by David Teh, will showcase Thai experimental shorts from this year’s Bangkok Experimental Film Festival. Last but not least, Simon Soon and Erna Dyanty will curate a Malaysian survey that identifies various approaches and trajectories in local experimental film-making.
