Lecture by: Dr. Ong Keng Sen
In this second Curating No-thing lecture, Dr. Ong Keng Sen elaborates on curating the space in-between or curating ‘no-thing’ through the context of the alternative university project in the Flying Circus Project in Cambodia (2010). Ong discusses affect and open affiliations, pleasure and ethical life, agency and engagement, personal political responsibility and human relationships as integral to ‘being’ in the world. The proposal of locality, community, and tradition as vital considerations conclude the lecture.
“I never use the term programmer as I would like to think you are a curator and I hope you can own your work, or your institution can embrace the reality of what you do.” – Dr. Ong Keng Sen
In May 2020, T:>Works initiated its first virtual event, a series of alternative training and a shared space led by its Artistic Director, Dr. Ong Keng Sen for the Curators Academy. Titled Curating No-thing, it is the first thought leadership programme by an arts company. This programme looked at activating one’s communities through art and rethinking our relationships with money and production. Beginning with lectures, the series culminated with consultations and clinics in June 2020.
