Do Ho Suh - Perfect Home exhibition video.

Korean artist Do Ho Suh draws attention to the ways viewers occupy and inhabit public space. Interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestations, Suh constructs site-specific installations that question the boundaries of identity. His work explores the relation between individuality, collectivity, and anonymity (Miwon Kwon - The Other Otherness: The Art of Do Ho Suh).

This film shows some of Suh's artworks displayed in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. The exhibition was titled PERFECT HOME.

Artist: The Impatient Sisters Track: Comets And Stars (Live on The Wknd Sessions, #40) Place: Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia

This month’s curated comes courtesy of Fikri Fadzil who runs The-wknd.com, a website dedicated to documenting bands from the South East Asian indie scene. It’s enticingly clean design, effortlessly cool music journalism and slick live session videos can trap you for hours… I’ve already discovered more music from South East Asia in a couple of hours on the site than two years in Hanoi!

The Vietnamese project, named “Lullaby of the Streets” – in reference to the children’ nights on the park benches or the pavements, incessant traffic horns lulling them to sleep – attempts to bring to light street kids’ dark slices of life. “It’s a global participatory campaign, and meanwhile Vietnam is ripe with social issues as well as young people capable of doing something about it. So why not bring it here?” Nhật Minh, leader of Inside Out Vietnam, spoke of his inspiration for the project after watching JR’s TEDx talk.

The photo taking process took months. Photographer Hoàng Minh, who is also a member of Blue Dragon Children Foundation – an Australian charity rescuing kids in crisis in Vietnam – has spent time talking, playing and capturing moments with these kids.

“Employing art forms to reflect and create a dialogue on the effects of urbanisation has already been widely used by artists in China, but few have made it as personal as Xing Danwen, who quite literally imposes herself as an impacted subject in her own work.”
