FOST Gallery is pleased to present Of Indeterminate Time or Occurrence, a solo exhibition by Heman Chong from 07 March – 04 May 2014.
The exhibition will showcase 4 different bodies of works - Never (Again) (2013), After Bolaño (After Duchamp) (2013), Cover (Versions) (2009 – ongoing), and The Forer Effect (2008). These works highlight the underlying objective in Chong’s practice, one that provides a way of understanding relationships between image and text, and examines how one is intrinsically linked to the other in his idiosyncratic manner of generating fictional narratives.
Chong has shown extensively in international group exhibitions including Dissent Futures, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, USA (2013), Pilot Micro Multiplex Mall, Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah (2012), Two Thousand and Eleven, Para/Site Art Space, Hong Kong, China (2011), Trickster Makes This World, Nam June Paik Art Center, Seoul, Korea (2010) and The Demon of Comparisons, Stedelijk Museum Bureau, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2009).
A publication will accompany the exhibition and will include an essay by Kenneth Tay (Assistant Curator, NUS Museum), a short story by Amanda Lee-Koe (Writer and editor of Postkod.sg) and a new text from Heman Chong.
