ARX5: Artists Regional Exchange: Singapore, Perth, Hong Kong (1998-99)


ARX was an ambitious project organised by a collective of artists and cultural producers in Perth throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

It brought together artists from Australia and the Asia Pacific for longitudinal cultural exchange.

In 1998-99, the fifth and final iteration of ARX was hosted in Perth, Singapore and Hong Kong. I was an invited artist participant.

The above images document some works I produced during my periods of residency in those cities.
