Emma Ng's writes, ‘This talk reflects on ‘The Asia-Pacific Century’, a pair of exhibitions Ioana Gordon-Smith and I curated at Enjoy and Te Uru almost a decade ago. Shaped as much by exhibitions we had never seen as those we had, it reached into the archive and out through our nascent networks, grasping at fragments of cultural memory that preceded our experiences as young curators. Since then, I’ve seen ‘The Asia-Pacific Century’ take on a similar second-hand life — becoming a reference point for others who didn’t experience it directly. Revisiting the project with the benefit of hindsight, I consider how exhibitions enter the bloodstream of art history through hearsay, photocopies, archived webpages, and speculative memory. Can even misremembering be productive? Drawing on my recent work developing an archive of Aotearoa Asian art with Satellites, I reflect on re-reading as a generative act — one that feeds the formation of art histories that remain alive to the present.’

‘On Further Thought’ is a series of talks which address significant moments — published texts, exhibitions, art works — in local art history from the 1990s and early 2000s. The emphasis is on the act of re-reading, and on reflection itself as a productive form of research that helps us to navigate the present and energises our future art histories. We are particularly interested in research that acknowledges a changing of one’s mind, addresses misconceptions, and attends to the archive as a site of lively reclamation or transformation.
