Sit, a collaborative exhibition of photography-based works by Philippine artists Nona Garcia and MM Yu, will be on view from September 13 to 26, 2011 at Richard Koh Fine Art, Malaysia in cooperation with Finale Art File, Philippines.
The exhibition features small-scale photo-assemblages of chairs discarded throughout the metropolis. Yu collects personal photographs of found chairs accumulated during the past years while Garcia appropriates the technique of paper tole to reconstitute these images into three-dimensional objects.
Sit is an intersection between the works of these two Filipino artists. While Garcia is known for her exquisite paintings of desolate objects and scapes, MM Yu has alternated between process-oriented abstraction and vivid photographs of the random and the everyday. The two started to collaborate on the photo-assemblages earlier this year, working on their first show together after Garcia experimented with paper cutouts in her works and Yu held successive exhibitions of photographs.
The gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For inquiries about the exhibition, contact +60(03)2283.3677 or +60(03)2283.4677 (fax)
