#AlfianSaat and I back in the year 2000 when we were both serving our 2 years and 4 months mandatory military service but moonlighting as artists launching an online magazine called #Geograffiti at @the_substation. Yes, we have been around for a long time. #HemanChong #TheSubstation #Singapore (at The Substation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZgcNdLFPRk/?utm_medium=tumblr

For the past 31 years, the numerous spaces within and around @the_substation have been important to many people in many different ways. For me, the space that I have had to negotiate the most with is the gallery space on the ground floor. The first time I ever showed anything to anyone publicly was in this space. It was a small group show that #KuoPaoKun conceived back in #1993 called #Memories. I showed three drawings that depicted the slow passing of my grandfather. Since then, I have made 4 solo exhibitions in this space. My sensibility about #exhibitionmaking was honed in this space. I cannot begin to describe how important those formative years have been to me, how important it was for Sasi, Jennifer, Weng, Audrey, Yuni, Su-May, to receive this over-energetic kid throwing all kinds of raw, unedited ideas at them and them never saying no. Next weekend is the last weekend that this version of #TheSubstation will exist. I don’t really know how to deal with this, and in so many ways, I don’t think I can ever know. #Goodbyes #NumerousThings (at The Substation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfH6PWlmhR/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a photograph of a sign. This sign was erected to close off a street. This street was closed in order for artists and the arts community in #Singapore to pay respects to #KuoPaoKun, a great visionary who once imagined a home for the arts. I remember that day in February 2002 on Armenian Street. A day of tears, but also of hope. A gathering to celebrate a shared space. Gathering to work, to teach each other, small wonderful things. Now it is time for another funeral. Rest In Peace, #TheSubstation. 1994-2021. #HemanChong (at The Substation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5xwVmFGdH/?igshid=acr3puew6voq
