The Art Exhibition-Making Toolkit in partnership with KOTA-K STUDIO, is aimed at starting conversations and networks among experienced and new exhibition-makers, while providing participants the opportunity to create exhibitions together, guided through a series of practical workshops and online mentoring. Participants are introduced to different concepts of exhibition-making, planning processes, related skills and considerations, with added insight provided from across the Southeast Asian region.
The toolkit kicked off with a sharing session,“MORE THAN JUST HANGING PICTURES ON A WALL”: exploring approaches to exhibition-making in Sabah and around Southeast Asia” @ KOTA-K Studio and Zoom, 29 August 2020, where we heard from curators, organisers, collectives and artists doing everything from pop-up shows at trade fairs to working with kampung communities to alternative art festivals to institutional and gallery exhibitions to finding new frameworks for thinking about and presenting art practice on a global level. Joining the discussion were Sabahan artist-organisers Pangrok Sulap, Yee I-Lann, Harold Egn Eswar and Christianne Goonting together with Bayu Utomo Radjikin, founder of HOM Art Trans and Curator of Sabah Art Gallery Jennifer Linggi; Ayos Purwoaji of Kelompok Kurator Kampung, curator Lim Qinyi, who has worked at Parasite Hong Kong and National Gallery Singapore, Merv Espina of Green Papaya Art Projects in Manila, friends from Jakarta-based collective ruangrupa, Wimo Ambala Bayang of Ruang MES 56, Yogyakarta, and Yeoh Lian Heng of KL collective Lostgens’.
