[ Let’s talk about artist residencies ]

– Natascha Borowsky & Minstrel Kuik Ching Chieh

Date  :13th Sep ‘08 (Saturday)

Time :8 pm

German artist Natascha Borowsky and malaysian artist Minstrel Kuik Ching Chieh will each introduce their work. Though both artists work with a camera, their approach and ideas lead to quite a dierent body of images. Subsequently the artists will talk about their previous experiences with artist residencies in France and Germany, discuss the benets/problems and share information on places to go.

Natascha Borowsky born in Germany, is currently working as artist-in-residence at Lost Generation Space on invitation of the Goethe Institute. She studied with Bernd and Hilla Becher at theAcademy of Arts, Düsseldorf, Germany, graduating as master student. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Germany and abroad.

Since 2006, she has been teaching at the University of Krefeld, Germany. The approach to her work being a conceptual one, the artist is engaged in an ongoing project, using found objects and material and an analogue largeformat camera.

Minstrel Kuik Ching Chieh Born Malaysian, has a bachelor degree in painting from the National Taiwan Normal University in Taiwan. Later, she graduated from The Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie of Arles and from The Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Versailles, France. As a jet-lagged artist and photographer, she experiments with the syndrome of desynchronosis of her epoch. By using herself as the bridge of the in-betweens, she goes into the external conicts between day and night, here and there, self and otherness, sex and gender, individual and nation… Recently, being and time.

Bangun – Abandon Project (work in progress)

               i’ve been working hard over at the house, shoveling lots of mud and dirt, pulling off termite infected wood, getting massacred by mozzies… not the usual neat, contained, glamourous style of art making i subscribe to! anyway, it’s a great to have a challenge, especially when you’re away from home.   x  hayley    —————————–     

Bangun – Abandon Project is an installation and performance project by 23 artists from Malaysia, Australia and the UK, responding to the large abandoned site situated at the end of Lorong Permai.    Dates of exhibition: Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd, Sunday 3rd February, 2008    Opening times: 4.30pm-7pm    Opening night Saturday 2nd February After the last group has come back from the site, a discussion about the project will take place back at Lost Generation Space from 7.30pm-8pm. From 8pm till late, the opening will continue.     How it works: Please come to Lost Generation first, from there a volunteer will escort a group up to the site. BYO torch, umbrella and wear sensible shoes. Entry is by donation.     Address: Lost Generation Space, 11 Lorong Permai, off Jalan Syed Putra, Robson Heights, 50460, Kuala Lumpur.

—————————————————————————————–
Pada 8 dan 9 Disember 2007 ini, Sabtu dan Ahad, satu rangkaian solidariti bernama ‘Valley of Hope Solidarity Group’ akan mengendalikan satu karnival ‘ I Love Valley Of Hope’ yang akan di isi dengan pelbagai acara termasuk forum, tayangan filem, penerangan, pameran, pertandingan lukisan untuk kanak-kanak dan persembahan budaya. Ia satu karnival yang di rancang sebagai satu tindakbalas terhadap kes perobohan sebahagian daripada Pusat Pengasingan Kusta di Sungai Buloh yang sudah berdiri disana selama 77 tahun untuk memberi laluan kepada pembinaan Fakulti Perubatan Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) (!). Tindakan ini telah merosakkan dan menafikan sumbangan besar tempat ini daripada segi penemuan perubatan dunia, dan yang seharusnya menjadi satu daripada warisan nasional negara. Daripada masa ia didirikan, 1930, Pusat ini adalah pusat pengasingan kusta terbesar dalam Empayar British dan kedua terbesar di dunia. Ia dilengkapi dengan peralatan perubatan tercanggih ketika itu dan perancangan penduduk yang megikut prinsip ‘bandar dalam taman’. Selepas beberapa tahun kemudian, ia menjadi pusat kajian terpenting untuk penyakit kusta. Kerajaan telah mengumumkan perancangan untuk menjadikan pusat ini sebagai warisan nasional, tetapi sebelum keputusan diumumkan, dengan tanpa makluman awal kepada penduduk, ia telah dirobohkan sebahagiannya oleh pemaju pada awal September lepas.
Ramai yang mungkin tidak mengetahui kewujudan tempat ini ekoran stigma terhadap penyakit/pesakit kusta sebelum ini yang mungkin sama hebatnya seperti stigma dan diskriminasi terhadap pesakit AIDS. Pusat ini menjadi tanda penting dalam sejarah Malaysia dalam hubungan perubatan, perancangan penempatan, senibina dan aspek sosial budaya. Penemuan dan penjelajahan kembali tempat ini bagaikan sebuah kawasan ‘silam’ moden yang boleh dipelajari dan diterjemah atas bagaimana sebuah dunia yang terasing di rancang, distrukturkan dan diberi fungsi oleh sekumpulan manusia, menyokong kehidupan sendiri secara sosial, budaya dan ekonomi yang terpisah terus dari masyarakat perdana.

 

Permintaan yang memerlukan perhatian segera!

 

Lost Generation Space menjadi sebahagian daripada badan atau kumpulan seni yang turut serta menyokong dan terlibat dalam karnival ini. Dengan lebih terperinci, Lostgen space akan mengambil slot terakhir pada 9 Disember 2007, Ahad dari pukul 1 tengahari sehingga 3 petang atas nama persembahan budaya (cultural performance). Di sini, ingin di nyatakan, dalam masa yang rapat ini, kami di lostgen masih lagi membuka penyertaan seniman-seniman, pemuisi, teman-teman, independent artist, untuk turut serta bersama penduduk dan berkongsi rasa pada masa karnival.
