LSSIISLTENNTExtended viewing times! Now until 10.07.2011
Artist: PoklongAnading
Curator: David Chan“...in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, no attainment and no non-attainment"- from the Heart Sutra
LSSIISLTENNT is a solo exhibition by Manila based artist PoklongAnading. Anading is interested tocapture the moment of tension in between ends before they slip to each own tendencies. Whatever it
might be in a particular situation of a place and transpose it to somewhere else. Anading prefers to place
the audiences in being in between state as a way to experience themselves.
The exhibition title LSSIISLTENNT takes direct reference from the act of listening and to be silent. The
coupling of these two words focuses on the slippage between the two, it is only when we listen carefullyand hear nothing that we start to understand the very nature of our inner voices. LSSIISLTENNT conveys
a transitory state of simultaneous translation and contemplation, action and inaction, participation andobservation, in an attempt to place the audiences on the verge of enlightenment. Muteness invites us torethink our ties with time, space and our movement and the elements that make us human.
In this solo show, Anading exhibits a compilation of video, photography and installation. Highlights include
Without With III (Black & Gold) – an installation of fans circulating gold spray-painted plastic bags andUntitled (caskets), 2009 – an installation that utilizes plastic moldings of daily objects previously shown at
the 2009 Jakarta Art Biennale.

APPENDIX A: ABOUT THE ARTISTAPPENDIX A: ABOUT THE ARTIST
PoklongAnading's art investigates the politics and metaphysics of representation. In his photographic
works, he exposes the limiting and enabling conditions that structure the Gaze and our encounter with theperceived Other. With his video and mixed-media installations, foregrounds the centrality of time andprocess, and the entanglement of the viewer in the artwork. Through his work, Anading aims to transformthe time and place of looking into the time and place of meditation — where it becomes possible to reimagine and re-orient our relation to others and the things of the world.
Anading received his BFA in Painting from the University of the Philippines in 1999. He has exhibited ingalleries and museums in Manila, USA, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Denmark,Malaysia and China. He participated in the 4thGwangju Biennale in 2002 and the 2009 Jakarta Biennale.

He is a two-time recipient of the Ateneo Art Awards (2006and 2008), participating in the Studio Residency Grants in The Kings Cross Art Project in Sydney,Australia and the Common Networks Foundation in Bandung, Indonesia. He was among the artists of thegroup show Complete & Unabridged Part II (2011), Osage Gallery, Hong Kong. His most recentexhibitions in 2010 include Rainbow Asia – a survey of contemporary Southeast Asian art in Seoul, The
