Description
We have invited seven artists from different countries across Asia, including Singapore, South Korea, China, Indonesia, and Mongolia, to participate in the public talk in the Asia Art Archive.The parable of the blind men and the elephant is a powerful metaphor for understanding the complexities of perception, knowledge, and truth. Each blind man, touching a different part of the elephant, forms a distinct interpretation of the whole based on their limited perspective. This story highlights the tension between individual experience and collective understanding, urging us to consider how fragmented perspectives can both obscure and illuminate the ‘bigger picture.’
In this artist talk, we explore the theme of wholeness and fragmentation through the lens of contemporary art and technology. How do artists navigate the interplay between individual and collective perspectives? How can art challenge our assumptions about truth, reality, and understanding? Drawing inspiration from Huw Lemmey’s essay ‘The Blind Hanna,’ this talk invites artists to reflect on their creative processes, the role of perspective in their work, and how art can bridge the gap between the personal and the universal.
