This publication is the catalogue for A Fact Has No Appearance: Art Beyond the Object which makes a nuanced exploration of the impact of new ideas on art in Southeast Asia during the 1970s through the case studies of three artists: Johnny Manahan (Philippines), Redza Piyadasa (Malaysia), and Tan Teng-Kee (Malaysia/Singapore), all of whom have been recognised for breaking new ground in Southeast Asian modern art. It features essays on each artist by the curators, as well as rich images of the artists’ works, installation views, and biographical information.
