Brackmag Issue 4: The Energy Issue<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

S<\/strong>$10.90 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Melanie Chua and Kei Franklin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brack Editors turn their gaze toward the future \u2013 as imagined by a participative, creative public emergent in socially engaged art. This issue explores selected artistic projects committed to generative and regenerative environmental practices in community across Asia. These essays follow a two-year endeavour of #BrackChats asking the central question \u201cWhat sustains us?\u201d, with art and cultural practitioners: Bellini Yu, Daisuke Takeya, Izzaty Ishak, Kok Heng Leun, Zikri Rahman, Michelle Lai, Faiz bin Zohri, Natalia Ludmila, Fung Lee, Chu Hao Pei, and Meridel Rubinstein. The conversations and in-depth articles explore new and emerging developments in ASEAN in socially engaged, public participative and community art, and consider environmental structures that, as we barrel ahead, are falling apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean to own a home in Singapore \u2014 a country younger than so many of its citizens? In the case of 99-year leaseholds, whither so-called \u2018home ownership\u2019? At the heart of the cultural mapping project by Matt3r asks the question \u201cWhat is home?\u201d in one of Singapore\u2019s oldest HDB estates, Queenstown.The collection of articles and stories reflects on the themes explored in the artworks, including: Loo Ching Ling\u2019s rumination on routines of a HDB dweller; Bestlyn Loo discusses the liminality of the corridor; Emma Goh\u2019s fictional piece matches the \u201cmixture of abstract and realistic arrangements\u201d in both artists Ng Hui Hsien\u2019s Sands and Sufian Samsiyar\u2019s The Imaginary World of Tanglin Halt; and He Liwei\u2019s footnotes from a stranger\u2019s notebook. Issue Editor Nazry Bahrawi considers Singapore vis-\u00e0-vis Penang. From further afield, Melinda Lauw explores (such a lack of) space via the Fung Wah Biennial in New York. It also captures candid conversations with Brack\u2019s artist-in-residence Nuria, who\u2019d travelled 14,000km from Spain into the heart of Queenstown, and local resident Alice Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BrackMag is editorially independent and our BrackChat conversations provide a platform for discourse of arts, culture, and society. We don\u2019t just write about or do art; we\u2019re interested in how it can address an issue of importance and create a significant space for individual and collective agency. These conversations take hours to research, organise, conduct, transcribe, and edit into issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
