Have a speed-date with Kai – let’s re-imagine our (collective) future together: installation at group exhibition Ordinary Things
Also: https://kaisyngtan.com/artful/winchester-gallery/
NEW WORK: There were three components to 'Have a Speed-Date With Kai – Let’s Re-Imagine Our (Collective) Future Together'. They were: 1) participatory installation 2) performance and 3) podcast (plus film). My installation invited people to share their wishes for the year 2050. Should people feel stuck, they could have a speed-date with me to re-imagine our (collective) future, and/or strategise artful ways to fight colonialism. I also had a speed-date with Louise in the form of a podcast, recorded in September 2023.
CONTEXTS: Ordinary Things was curated by Louise Siddons, Professor of Visual Politics and Head of the Department of Art and Media Technology.
More than a century ago, Marcel Duchamp celebrated ordinary objects by putting them on pedestals in galleries. His playful engagement with the ‘museum effect’ — the extraordinary attention we’re expected to pay any object placed in an art gallery — suggested that art is an act of heightened awareness.
In Ordinary Things, twenty-six artists at WSA transform everyday objects into complex meditations on what it means to be in the world.
Participating artists: Danny Aldred, Alexandra (Sasha) Anikina, Daniel Ashton, Andrew Brook, J. R. Carpenter, Stephen Cornford, Ian Dawson, Megen de Bruin-Molé, Francis Gene-Rowe, Dave Gibbons, Seth Giddings, John Gillett, Jacob Hall, Daniel Hobson, Gordon Hon, Christina Mamakos, Clio Padovani, Kwame Phillips, Adam Procter, Andrew Reaney, Sara Roberts, Steven Sanderson, Amy Scott-Pillow, Julian Stadon, Nick Stewart, Kai Syng Tan
EXHIBITION: The exhibition took place in 02-25 November 2023, Winchester Gallery, UK.
