Precarious Joy is @projectx40cโ€™s final LooseLeaf Magazine, in the form of a group exhibition!! Precarious Joy honours our community by grounding ourselves in the now. Rather than focusing on the past or the future, this exhibition invites artists to address the presence of Asian communities, to recognize our existence as radical acts, and to activate joy as communal resistance. In our particular geographical, historical, emotional, and cultural landscapes, joy is sometimes fleeting, nonverbal, and distorted. We want to creatively and communally trace, with multiple forms and expressions of joy, the outlines of who we are. Full details at looseleafmagazine.ca ๐Ÿ’˜ DEADLINE: March 22nd, 2020 at 11:59 PM This exhibition is funded by the @torontoartscouncil Swipe to see @ayebbey & I around two min after receiving notification from TAC that this exhibition had been funded โ˜บ๏ธ

#SOTD: ็Žซ็‘ฐๅฐ‘ๅนด by ่”กไพๆž— / ้˜ฟไฟก. โ€œI love it when multiple versions of the same song emerge into the world. I love how both versions are deeply personal responses to tragedy and both calls to action and change in different ways.

#tbt2010 This was the year Hebe, the veritable goddess, began her solo career. This was also the year the folk duo Okdal debuted with a love letter to the days weโ€™ve felt the lowest. Soulful & lyrical hip hop was growing as Supreme Team reached its peak, while rappers like Soft Lipa gathered a loyal group of followers. - Check โ€˜em highlights out at link in bio ๐Ÿ‘
#SOTD: ์ƒˆ์†Œ๋…„ - ๊ธด ๊ฟˆ / Se So Neon - A Long Dream ๐Ÿ’ซ - After a thrilling debut in 2017, this alt rock band announced their last concert in December 2018 as the two male members had to go for their military service. The vocalist & guitarist @sleeep__sheeep went solo, until early this summer two new members joined to restart the band. - The title song that put them on the radar, โ€œ๊ธด ๊ฟˆโ€ also made everyone fall in love with So Yoonโ€™s husky voice. From xylophone beats to drum echoes, itโ€™s a surreal adventure through a long-winding lucid dream. - โ€œ์ˆ˜์ƒํ•œ ๋ฐค๋“ค์ด ๊ณ„์†๋˜๋˜ ๋‚  when mysterious nights continued ์–ธ์  ๊ฐ€๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋‚˜๋Š” ์ข€ ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์กŒ๋‹ค suddenly, i began to change ๋น› ๋ฐ”๋ž˜๊ฐ„ ๋‚ด ์›ƒ์Œ์ด ๋ˆˆ์น˜ ์—†์ด ์‚์ ธ๋‚˜์˜ฌ ๋•Œ when my faded bright smile left me without a hintโ€ - Check out the song, including its fun music video by Japanese animator Hoji Tsuchiya at http://bit.ly/ourjxmsdream ๐ŸŒ
#AlbumReview: ้ญๅฆ‚่ฑ - ๆœซ่ทฏ็‹‚่Šฑ / waa wei - Run! Frantic Flowers! โ€” At once playful, brooding, gentle and mildly creepy, waa weiโ€™s approach to her music has always been to slip out of easy categories. The tracks have an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to them, where the fantastical, dream-like and real elements are a perfect blend of music. โ€” ๆˆ‘ๆ˜ฏๆฏ”่ผƒๅฑ้šช็š„่Šฑ ๆœซ่ทฏไธญ็š„ๅ„ช้›… I am a more dangerous flower, the grace on the road to the end ็Šฏ่ณคไธญ็š„็€Ÿ็‘ ็‹‚ๆญŒไธญ็š„้ฃ›่Šฑ the recklessness in indecisive regret, the flowers flying through the wildest songs ่ฝๅœจๅ“ชๅฐฑ็ถปๆ”พๅœจๅ“ช ๅ …ๆŒๅˆฐๆœ€ๅพŒ็š„็…™่Šฑ blooming wherever they land, fireworks holding out till the end โ€” Check out the full album review at https://bit.ly/2SUllMt (link in bio) ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ

caught @codacultureโ€™s opening exhibition at their new space, feat. one of my favourite works by teck lim. a little late to posting because they have a new exhibition up now! // very excited to find a space like theirs here.
// Personal Belongings, 2018 with @ayebbey (@projectx40c), as part of @belindakwan + @takphamโ€™s โ€œCONVENIENCEโ€ exhibition for @myseumtoronto. - how do personal belongings carry memories? what is an object that carries your stor(ies) of migration and place-making? an object passed down. an object given as a gift. an object that you will never throw away. in this artistic-archival workshop, we began with a show & tell. then participants chose someone elseโ€™s object to respond through drawing, which was after given to the objectโ€™s owner who responded through paper cutting. a communal exchange. a communal documentation. ... remembering all the workshops iโ€™ve facilitated with abby, and the generosity + trust that people gave to me, to us, and to each other. carrying these as i move forward into new adventures here in sg.
and thatโ€™s how february began. without an alert that it was here. a lingering remnant from last month that lasted so long yet ended so abruptly. ํ•œ ๋‹ฌ๋™์•ˆ ๋ฐ˜๋…„ ๋งŒํผ์˜ ์ˆ˜ ๋งŽ์€ ์ผ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ๋˜๊ฑฐ ๊ฐ™๋‹ค ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์˜ค๋Š˜๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด์–ด๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค. @conceptzine__official ์ด ๋ฌผ์—ˆ๋‹ค, โ€œ์ง€๊ธˆ ๋‹น์‹ ์ด ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋“ฃ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์€ ์นญ์ฐฌ์€ ๋ฌด์—‡์ธ๊ฐ€์š”?โ€ ์ž˜ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ . ๊ทธ๋ƒฅ ๊ธด ๋ง์—†์ด ์ž˜ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ . ๋‚ด๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜ํ•œํ…Œ ํ•ด์•ผ ํ•˜๋Š” ์นญ์ฐฌ.
been gallery sitting at @the_substation for โ€œstealing public space,โ€ curated by iola lenzi. an impressive collection of work by artists from across southeast asia, challenging the status quo and activating the public. itโ€™s refreshing to have works that actively invite visitors to physically interact, whether to barter an item for an artwork, to touch or wear an artwork, to take a piece of an artwork, to play with the dolls and the piano; where trust is an underlying societal value. where people can trust each other to respect each otherโ€™s work and space. some of my favourites: โ€ข bui cong khanh, โ€œhymne nationalโ€ โ€ข restu ratnaningtyas, โ€œhidayahโ€ โ€ข jakkai siributr with folks at shan refugee camp, โ€œthereโ€™s no place...โ€ โ€ข sarah choo jing, โ€œwaiting for the elevatorโ€ โ€ข dinh q le, โ€œtexture of memoryโ€ โ€ข sutee kunavichayanont, โ€œhistory classโ€ โ€ข tang mun kit, โ€œthe other singapore storyโ€
