Eight Recommendations (A Monument for Manifesta 8), 2010


In his contribution, Chong shows a series of book covers that are enlarged to the size of posters in the cafeteria in the square close to Pavilion 1. The descriptive visual aspect of these covers as images, the connotation to their contents and their relationship to each other, create a wide array of associative references and offer an arena for story-making and imagined spaces.



Heman Chong
1977, Muar. Lives and works in Singapore and New York.Heman Chong is an artist, a curator and a science fiction writer. His art practice involves an investigation into the philosophies, reasons and methods of individuals and communities imagining the future. Charged with a conceptual drive, this research is then adapted into objects, images, installations, situations or texts. In 2006, he developed a writing workshop with Leif Magne Tangen at Project Arts Center in Dublin where they co-authored PHILIP, a science fiction novel with Mark Aerial Waller, Cosmin Costinas, Rosemary Heather, Francis McKee, David Reinfurt and Steve Ruston. Heman Chong is represented by Vitamin Creative Space (Beijing/Guangzhou).
