Heman Chong: Of Indeterminate Time or Occurrence

The exhibition will contain 4 different works highlighting Chong's practice, which provides a way of understanding relationships between image and text, examining how one is intrinsically linked to the other in his idiosyncratic manner of generating fictional narratives. 

Never (Again) (2013) is a new work which is a neon sign literally stating NEVER / AGAIN, flickering between red and yellow in an endless loop. The work uses two diagrammatically opposing terms to feed off each other to suggest the ambivalence of the state of artistic production where everything attempts to be new, but the fact remains that nothing can come from nothing.
