Dear friend,
Join us for the Opening Reception of Chua Chye Teck's Eternity this Thu (20 Dec) at 7.30pm in Show Room, Post-Museum (107+109 Rowell Rd).
The basis for the exhibition stems from p-10's invitation to Chua, a Singaporean photographer, to record the run-down conservation shop-house numbers 107 and109 Rowell Road (motorcycle workshop, karang guni shop and brothel) before it is transformed into Post-Museum (exhibition space, café, studios and offices).
The result is a series of selectively composed photographic images of second floor cubicle partitions, yearning the viewers to piece together their imagination of the cram conditions for intimacy, in comparison with the present retrofits of an independent cultural space. Art’s intimacy and proximity to life and lives are questioned here with a potentially sensitive topic, but documented here with apolitical and banal representation.
Chua Chye Teck (b. Singapore, 1974) has been exploring the theme of housing and inhabitation over the past ten years. His previous works have included both sculptures and images referencing physical dwelling space in Singapore, the evolution of urbanism and its impact on the residents.
The exhibition is open till 13 January 2008 from 6-10pm (Tue-Fri), 12-10pm (Sat+Sun) and closed on Mondays and Public Holidays. More info at www.p-10.org.
See you then!
Regards,
Jennifer.
