- Invisibility and its value  
- Process and context 
– Dialogue as well as text and information amassed on both of our ends.  
- Knowledge topography   

We are trying to observe what is invisible around us, and attempt to address and reframe its value. So we have to expand and point out possibilities of the terrain and slowly look into each of it to see what fits into frame and what doesn’t.

Since graduating from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2018 with an MA in Social Design, our artist in residence Aki Lee has been working on projects that deals with social engagement, rapid urbanism, cross-culture exchanges, alternative modes of learning and knowledge transformation for the past five years. Most of her projects are time-based and process oriented, and the artistic qualities are defined by the site-specific approaches. The results and products may not always be tangible or material in their nature, but is always human-oriented.


Aki will be starting her residency with Jalan Besar Salon on 20 April. Stay tuned for more updates on her research and working process!
