16 June - 9 September 2016
Whilst in residence, Loo Zihan will continue his research into ‘The Ray Langenbach Archive of Performance Art’ which documents over 20 years of performance art in Southeast Asia from 1988 to the present. Loo’s research is an extension of his reenactments and installations such as Cane (2011, 2012), Archiving Cane (2012) and Artists’ General Assembly: The Langenbach Archive (2013), which have stemmed out of specific documentation from the archive. Loo aims to tap into the mostly unexplored parts of the archive, of abstract and informal, day-to-day recordings of memories and incidents. As a nostalgic and intimate reflection on the arts scene of the early to mid 1990’s in Singapore, Loo will unpack the archival material and return to the medium of an experimental essay film that aims to challenge the boundaries between documentary, fiction and experimental filmmaking.
