Join us for a conversation marking the release of something, a new book on the work of Lim Tzay Chuen and the writing of Lee Weng Choy. Artist Lim Tzay Chuen and critic Lee Weng Choy have been friends for decades. Over the years, Weng Choy has written about Tzay Chuen many times, and they’ve often talked about collaborating on a book. On the occasion of the publication of something, which brings together Tzay Chuen’s work and Weng Choy’s writing, Asia Art Archive hosts a panel discussion on art, writing, and friendship. As Weng Choy remarks in something, for him, “friendship and writing are mutually constitutive practices. They both are about learning how to be in the world, as well as how to speak, listen to, and live with others and ourselves.” The panel brings together Lee Weng Choy, Ysabelle Cheung, Russell Storer, and Paul C. Fermin. Free and open to the public with registration. Lim Tzay Chuen is a Singapore-born artist now based in Beijing. Lee Weng Choy is an art critic from Malaysia, and has been a long-time member of the Advisory Board of Asia Art Archive. Ysabelle Cheung is an author and co-founder of PHD Group in Hong Kong. Russell Storer is Senior Curator and Associate Director of Curatorial Affairs, M+. Paul C. Fermin is Head of Editorial at Asia Art Archive.
