Progressive Disintegrations Artist Conversation / TourHilmi Johandi & Chua Chye Teck: (un)controlledSat 12 Dec, 2pm to 3pm Objectifs Chapel Gallery Free admission; restricted to 10 attendees due to Covid-19 health and safety measures Join us for a conversation between Hilmi Johandi and Chua Chye Teck, two of the participating artists in Progressive Disintegrations. The artists will discuss their respective practices, their works in this show and lead attendees in a guided tour of the exhibition.-- In Progressive Disintegrations, artists Chua Chye Teck, Hilmi Johandi and Wei Leng Tay engage in conversation with Marc Gloede to create an installation of mixed-media works.These artworks, with beginnings in touristic images in Singapore from the late 1980s-90s, a family archive of photographic slides from the early 70s, and fluorescences of mould and wetness on wood, open up ways of re-looking at and thinking about what and who we live with, and how photographs inscribe ways of being.Through photography, painting and installation, the exhibition addresses what is perceived through an image. It also asks how a photograph — as document, object and artefact — can be re-examined through a series of transformations, fragmentation and remaking.Visit our website for full details.--  Chua Chye Teck employs both photography and sculpture to execute his ideas. He draws inspiration from things in the environment that catch his eye, transforming them from their original state to take on a different context as works of art. Chye Teck’s philosophy is in re-presenting them, offering a fresh way of looking at something we may already know. He recently launched his book Beyond Wilderness, produced as a grant recipient of the National Arts Council’s Creation Fund. Chye Teck has a BA in sculpture from RMIT and his works are collected or commissioned by public institutions and local museums.   Hilmi Johandi works primarily with painting and explores interventions with new media that are associated within the domain of framing, fragmentation and compression. His explorations are set in the range of the familiar and symbolic motifs perceived in the context of Singapore. He composes and synthesis images from film, archival footage and photographs into a fragmented montage that hints at the social effects of rapid development, and the personal desires and contempt of those who embrace modernisation. Hilmi is the recipient of the Young Artist Award 2018, NAC Arts Scholarship (Postgraduate) 2018, LASALLE Scholarship 2017 and the Goh Chok Tong Youth Promise Award. He has held several solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions, and is one of the five artist finalists to participate in the President’s Young Talents 2018 with the Singapore Art Museum.-- Header image: Hilmi Johandi, Accession no. 04: City hall and the Old Supreme Court Building c. 1970s, 2020, oil on linen.
