Silverlens presents a tight selection of artists from southeast Asia and the diaspora working across generations, locations, and media —James Clar (b. 1979, USA, of Philippine heritage), Maria Taniguchi (b. 1981, Philippines), Mit Jai Inn (b. 1960, Thailand).
James Clar will be premiering a new work called Cloud Seed, an interactive video installation created for Art Dubai 2022 that immerses viewers in a simulation of rain, fog, and rain. Cloud Seed uses technology to bring attention to man's effect on the environment in a visual way that is poetic and cinematic.
Maria Taniguchi will be showing one brick painting from 2018-19, as well as two new paintings from her series 'room of phases' from 2021. The new series of monochromatic checkered pattern paintings calls to the imagination at once an oversized chess board or else a calendar. This visual idiom itself unravels time in its most prolific sense: hours passed or spent, days in a year, turns in a game of chess.
Mit Jai Inn will be showing pieces from his series titled Actants. Actants refers to both human and non-human agents as equal participants in an ongoing set of transformations – a metaphor for the artist's collaboration with light, color, labor, and time in contextual relation to metaphysical, political and social constructions of power and belief.
