Toward SB2008

CET and I discovered this evening that our project has been accepted for the Singapore Biennale 2008. It will be our first major collaboration. We have been doing research for the project for the last months and in conversation with curator Joselina Cruz over the concept and logistical details. Thanks Joselina for supporting our idea. We know it wasn't easy.

Biljana and Jin Shan

I was happy to reunite with Shanghai-based curator Biljana Ciric and artist Jin Shan in Saigon for the first time since the Venice Biennale. Arriving Sunday evening and departing for Phnom Penh on Tuesday, Monday was a marathon of meeting local artists and spaces, ending in exhausting 3 am chat in my apartment with Chaw Ei and visiting artist Hai Minh.
