Synopsis
Chapalang is a random and seemingly chaotic commingling of things haphazardly put together, and in this exhibition exemplifies cultural strategies and attitudes associated with 'making do'; making one's own the heterogeneity of technologies and things we inhabit. These creative reconfigurings and vernacular appropriations of technologies in Southeast Asia are gathered here to speculate on the radical potential of such cultural practices to unsettle and reimagine our relationship to the technological.
