Description
As one of Singapore’s most iconic contemporary artists, Heman Chong’s work intersects with image, performance, situations and writing. In his upcoming talk at Asia Art Archive (AAA), Six or Nine Things About Subjective Truths, Chong will delve into fiction writing strategies while reflecting on his experiences at AAA and his summer in Hong Kong.
The artist will reference numerous works from his 22-year creative journey to teach the art of fiction writing. The talk will conclude with a reading from his work-in-progress, “Wall Texts.” This speculative novel reflects on Chong’s four months as artist-in-residence at AAA, following an unnamed artist who wanders Hong Kong, consumed by boredom after the cancellation of his solo show, while encountering 200 artworks in various spaces across the city.
The talk will be held on 16 October, from 19:00 to 21:00. It is free and open to the public, with registration required.
