Artists’ Talk & Sharing
Kingsley Ng (Hong Kong) & WAFT (Surabaya)
Inter-disciplinary Practices

☞ Thursday, 6 August 2015, 18.30 – 21.00

Jl. Dr. Cipto 22 , Surabaya, Indonesia 60264

Kingsley Ng is an inter-disciplinary artist from Hong Kong working internationally, with a focus on community-oriented projects, often through meticulous spatial interventions using light and sound.
His practices are not to create new forms and objects, but often to highlight the disregarded and forgotten, and to rediscover and reestablish sensible relationships between people and their surroundings.

Kingsley Ng will share some of his past projects including his participation at the Echigo Tsumari Triennial in Japan, Land Art Biennial in Mongolia, Guangzhou Triennial in China, and the Ircam Centre Pompidou in France.

Ng received postgraduate training at Le Fresnoy – National Studio of Contemporary Arts in France, an MSc Sustainable Design degree from the University of Edinburgh in the UK and a BFA New Media Art degree from the Ryerson University in Canada. He is the recipient of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship Award, Hong Kong Arts Development Council Best Artist Award in Media Arts, Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards 2009. He is currently a lecturer at the HKBU Hong Kong Academy of Visual Arts.

Since its very beginning, WAFT focus has been on the tension and interplay at the interdisciplinary art practices in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was initiated through the efforts of a group of people – people who are passionate about what they do, backed by lengthy experience in event organizer and intense documentation of art events and performances. These references are instrumental to the development of educative yet innovative medium and creative playground

Desain Grafis pada Zaman Jepang

☞ 9 Agustus 2015, pk. 16.00 – 18.00
C2O library & collabtive, Jl. Dr. Cipto 22, Surabaya

Masa singkat pendudukan Jepang di Indonesia, 1942-1945, merupakan masa yang penting dalam sejarah desain grafis di Indonesia. Atas nama mobilisasi perang, praktik dan produk desain grafis Indonesia berada dalam kendali yang sangat ketat, lebih ketat dari masa-masa sebelumnya. Tetapi atas nama mobilisasi perang juga lah desain grafis Indonesia untuk pertama kalinya berjumpa dengan perkembangan paling maju dalam desain grafis dunia.

Antariksa, peneliti pada KUNCI Cultural Studies Center, Yogyakarta. Karya terbarunya Art Collectivism in the Japanese-Occupied Indonesia akan terbit tahun depan (Fukuoka: Kyushu University Press).

YORIMICHI CARAVAN SCREENING PARTY
☞ 9 August 2015, 19:30 – 21:30
C2O library & collabtive, Jl. Dr. Cipto 22, Surabaya

YORIMICHI CARAVAN project〉 is a “screening caravan” that visits alternative spaces in Asian countries with the documentary film “BOOK STORE – part1″.

【About a film “BOOK STORE”】
The Great Eastern Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011. Many people decided to emigrate in order to avoid radiation sickness and had to completely change their lives. Tesuya Mori was one of them. He moved to Tottori prefecture and was about to start farming for self-sufficiency as well as an info-shop (*1) for exchanging information and introducing counter-culture. Not wanting a full time job, he rents a garage for cheap with the plan of opening his own bookstore. The garage is run-down and he repairs it in a DIY (Do It Yourself) way. Yet, in order to subsidize the cost of installing a sewer system, he has to work part-time, so the repairs don’t proceed as swiftly as he’d like. Without enough money or time, yet with the help from people in the guesthouse and from around town, will he really be able to make his own bookstore? This is the first chapter of this DIY documentary.

Mei 2015 lalu, C2O memenangkan penghargaan Diageo-British Council Social Enterprise Award for Arts, Creative, and Tourism Organisation. Dana hibah dari penghargaan ini digunakan sepenuhnya untuk membiayai sebagian renovasi C2O library & collabtive. Renovasi ini baru saja selesai, dan kami perlahan-lahan memindahkan apa yang telah dibangun sejak tahun 2008 ke tempat tinggal yang baru.

Tentunya, masih sangat banyak yang belum siap, tapi jika berkenan hadir, kami mengundang kawan-kawan untuk bergabung di sesi presentasi singkat C2O, mengintip rencana kerja (work-in-progress) ruang dan program, sekaligus berbagi saran dan gagasan.
