SUMMARY:Osage Art Foundation - The sun teaches us that history is not everything
DESCRIPTION:Artists and Curator Talks Sunday 25 March 2018 4-6pm\nVernissage Sunday 25 March 6-8pm\nExhibition continues 26 March – 6 May 2018 \nThis exhibition is a part of the Osage Art Foundation’s “Regional Perspectives” platform that puts the production of art in Asia into a critical perspective in relation to other geographies. The first iteration of this initiative was the exhibition “South by Southeast” curated by Patrick Flores and Anca Verona Mihulet and presented by the Osage Art Foundation in 2015\, and the extension of the project “South by Southeast: A Further Surface” presented by Guangdong Times Museum in 2016. \nOf this initiative\, Patrick Flores says ” The South by Southeast project was conceived out of the anxiety to move beyond the burdened categories of nation and region. It was prompted by the desire to exceed the limits of how localities are almost by reflex and default integrated into nations\, which in turn are integrated into regions.” \nInspired by the direction set by Flores and Mihulet and the South by Southeast\, the present exhibition curated by Brazilian curator Raphael Fonseca\, seeks to find a dialogue between Southeast Asia\, South America and Mexico.\nThis project will bring together 26 artists – 14 from South America and Mexico\, 8 from Southeast Asia and 4 from Hong Kong and Macau and generate new perspectives around contemporary art. \nFor this exhibition curator Raphael Fonseca looked for artists with an interest in a critical articulation between the past and the present. He says\, “All of the artists in this project are interested in raising questions about the relations between the historical past and the present. How can the past affect the present and how can contemporary art practice transform historical documents in very different kinds of narratives? What are the relations between macro and micro history?”\n“The artists here have interests in important topics like immigration and refuge\, the relation between documents and historical truth\, the borders between historical and fictional writings and the tension between national histories and familial anecdotes.” \nThe title of the exhibition is based on a quote from “Betwixt and Between” by the Nobel Prize winning writer Albert Camus. Recalling the difficulties of his early life in Algeria Camus wrote “I was placed halfway between the misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun\, and the sun taught me that history isn’t everything.” \nFonseca notes that “The topics of migration\, diaspora\, memory\, oblivion and identity are all essential to each of the invited artists and to the historical narrative of their countries. Even with the geographical distance between Asia and Latin America\, there are many artistic\, environmental and historical points of dialogue.” \nPresented by\nOsage Art Foundation \nSupported by\nConsulate General of Mexico in Hong Kong\nAMEXCID Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation Consulate General of the Philippines in Hong Kong\nPhilippines National Commission for Culture and the Arts\nEdouard Malingue Gallery Hong Kong\nHenrique Faria New York\nKarin Weber Gallery Hong Kong\nSilverlens Gallery Manila
