Press release

Paralogical Machines:
When Images Meet Us in Space and Time

Wei-Ling Contemporary is pleased to announce its first exhibition of the year, ‘Paralogical
Machines: When Images Meet Us in Space and Time’, a new media exhibition presenting some of
Europe’s and Southeast Asia’s leading media artists. We live in this time and this space, yet we think
of art works as being outside of time and from a different space. We look at paintings and
photographs as if we are looking out the window to another world different from ours. The works in
‘Paralogical Machines’ come down from the frame and expect to engage with us in our world. They
meet us to create a dialog with us. They do not explain, but rather question. As Marcel Duchamp
said a work is complete until it is seen by an audience. We are as much the focus of the show as any
work is. We believe that art must be conversational with and for the viewer or else it loses
significance. The works in this show present us with questions of how we perceive our experiences
through different contexts, be it how we experience history, our dream states or just how we
encounter what we take for granted in daily life. By putting these objects and artefacts into new
perspective we hope that new question will be raised and that you will find your own answers.
The exhibiting artists are internationally known artists whose works have been shown in
biennales, exhibitions and museums around the world. They are Charles Lim, Erika Tan, Kenneth
Feinstein, Rajinder Singh, Tintin Wulia, Ubermorgen with Nye Thompson, and the All Womens
Networked Jam Session (AWNJS)*. The exhibition includes new works as well as pieces shown in
international venues such as the Venice Biennale and the Melbourne International
Arts Festival.

There will be a public talk with exhibiting artists at 5pm on 10 January followed by the public. opening of the exhibition at 7.

‘Paralogical Machines’ is made possible with the support of the Goethe Institut, the Centre for
Research-Creation in Digital Media at the School of Arts at Sunway University, and Pro-Helvetia.
