"100-010-001" : ANDRE CHAN JOURNAL EXHIBITION

100 - 010 - 001  is a visual manifestation of the convergence of Past, Present and Future.

Eavesdrop below! As our curious correspondent, the Dystopiarist, engages in conversation with Andre Chan, a 26-year-old Cebuano artist, during the opening of his exhibition at Futur:st last Saturday, Dec 9th.

While you're at it, below are some snippets & quotable quotes relating to the conversation and of course the show!

“I think Art is just life. IT IS LIFE! & Art gives context to life. Science gives answers to life..." - Andre

ANDRE CHAN FUTURIST MAKATI EXHIBIT

Andre: "The string is like its ever evolving, no? At first, I thought that I could like scatter all the paper here... but now it's on one net, because these are memories caught in time..."

"2nd it was a web, but you can interpret it in so many ways... and I always tell this to people who I encounter, na Art is really ambiguous & no one can tell you what it is talaga, you have to examine your own or your personal experience & see what resonates with you, right? So there's no absolute art, there's no absolute perception - because everything here in this world is a unique SKU, a unique stock keeping unit."

ANDRE CHAN A: The 1 in the first column symbolizes the PAST, and the 1 in the middle is the PRESENT, then the 1 in the last part is the FUTURE.

D: Mura pud siyag (letter) "I," so it's like the self & the "0" is like a portal! I love it! Kanang void ba! the self & the void kinda moving. The SELF moving through the VOID!

 

A: It's like a (magic) SPELL. So, per paper is a spell - for example: like earlier, you mistakenly put the salt in the coffee (while looking at one of the journal pages with the words ASIN & SALT on it)

D: Uy, di ako toh oi - si Sharon toh!

A: So, si Sharon put the chili salt *hahahaha

D: AND the regular salt.

A: TWO KINDS of salt *hahahah

   A & D: AS IN ASIN!! *hahahah
