[im]print: unboxed - A presentation by Progressive Disintegrations

This event marks the Singapore launch of Progressive Disintegrations’ publication about[im]print, their last exhibition which took place at STORAGE—an artist-initiated space in Bangkok—from October to December 2023. Thai artist Tanatchai Bandasak, whose conversation with members of Progressive Disintegrations first began during his residency at NTU CCA Singapore in 2019, joined the group in this project. During [im]print: unboxed, members of Progressive Disintegrations will speak about the project’s inception and its relation with the historical and physical context of STORAGE, a former printing press. Together with their deep interest in the unique spatial configurations of exhibition sites, they will discuss how they explored concepts and practices of print and how they orchestrated the interplay of differentmediums, such as photography, painting, installation, woodblock prints, and performance, within the exhibition space. This session will also include an activation of the artists’ materials.

Progressive Disintegrations is a collaborative group that began out of the need to create a format and a space for creative exchange between the artistic practices of Chua Chye Teck, Marc Gloede, Hilmi Johandi and Wei Leng Tay. The project aimed to open up the normally individual artistic and curatorial pursuits of each participant, creating situations that allow them to explore and expand the notions that underlie their respective practices.
