Poklong Anading

Description

Poklong Anading's work is based on long term examinations and explorations that push his ideas to consistent concepts. He first focused on experimental video projects as an art student at the University of the Philippines and increasingly explored installation, painting and concept-based works. He has at various points in his work made use of dust, concrete rubble, and rags, for instance. Images or materials might reappear in various work series, giving the impression that single series do correspond. His projects are based on the exploration of mass phenomena and characterized by an autobiographical influence.

Anading received his BFA in Painting from the University of the Philippines in 1999. He has exhibited in galleries and museums in Manila, USA, Japan, Australia, South Korea, HongKong, Taiwan, Denmark, Malaysia and China. He participated in the 4thGwangju Biennale in 2002 and in the Jakarta Biennale in 2009. Anading has several awards including the First Prize for the 12thGawad CCP for Experimental Video in 2000 and the Thirteen Artists Awards in 2006. He is a two-time recipient of the Ateneo Art Awards (2006 and 2008), participating in the Studio Residency Grants in The Kings Cross Art Project in Sydney, Australia and the Common Networks Foundation in Bandung, Indonesia. He was among the artists of the group show Complete & Unabridged Part II (2011), Osage Gallery, Hong Kong, Rainbow Asia – a survey of contemporary Southeast Asian Art in Seoul and The Bastards of Misrepresentation, Freies Museum Berlin. die map für gudbuys was his first solo exhibition in Galerie Zimmermann Kratochwill in Austria, 2010/2011.
