Project Glocal 2012 | Manila Singapore Bangkok Hong Kong
projectglocal2012 is a cross cultural multi-locale art project that ushers conversations between "city" artists from Bangkok, HongKong, Manila and Singapore through a series of small talks and exhibits in the four cities. This project's main objective is to explore intersections of city living as habits, traditions and imagined realities at a time when boundaries between local and global becomes blurred by econo-airfares, the internet and other vehicles of physical, cerebral and social diaspora.
The project opened in July 2011. It was formally launched through a satellite exhibit+talk titled SMALL TALK: CONVERSATION OF CITIES at Tin-aw Gallery (
www.tin-aw.com) in January 13, 2012. This is to be followed by another satellite exhibit+talk titled HABIT FORMING at Artinformal (
