Press Release

Silverlens presents Dina Gadia, Yee I-Lann, Maria Taniguchi, and Mit Jai Inn in All States No State. In S.E.A., artists often come together through informal networks, establishing communities and collectives that become long-term structures of artistic collaboration and exchange. Such is the practice of all three artists. The title is taken from a series of flags of imagined countries made by Gadia.

Art Basel virtual panel for the S.E.A. Focus Talks program "Is Southeast Asia a Single Market?"

Sun, Jan 23, 2022 from 3:00 – 5:00pm UTC

Topic: ‘Is Southeast Asia a Single Market?’ Southeast Asia has historically been an intersection of trade and culture, with the archipelago’s straits and waterways forming the channels through which markets crossed. How might this historical legacy feed into the region’s contemporary art scenes, and might they constitute a world unto their own? If Southeast Asia is one market, what defines it? If it isn’t, why not? Moderator: Stephanie Bailey Speakers [proposed]: Jun Tirtadji, ROH Projects Isa Lorenzo, Silverlens Emi Eu, S.E.A.
