‘ #09-1464’ is the first solo exhibition by Singaporean artist Johann Fauzi (m.f._johann) with Richard Koh Fine Art (@rkfineart ). An aficionado of Baroque and Rococo aesthetics, the artist has transformed the space of the gallery in Gillman Barracks into a replica of his own apartment, an immersive installation that mimics its lush opulence and intimate atmosphere. The show, curated by Louis Ho (@magicmoistness ), takes its title from the unit number of Johann’s apartment and includes works ranging from large-scale landscape paintings to small still-life images, from ornate furnishings and artefacts to kitschy ceramic sculptures. The interlacing of artwork, found objects, and furniture highlights the artist’s appropriation of European visual and material cultures as a means of questioning and destabilising the historical power structures they represent, especially in the context of a former colony in Southeast Asia. The ostentatious excess of the presentation is transformed by the presence of one of the primary thematic concerns of Johann’s practice: the recuperation of the Malay-Muslim cultural universe. The act of appropriation, in his hands, becomes a channel of critical counter-colonization, usurping the prerogatives of Western culture to highlight systemic erasure and marginalization. ' #09-1464' runs from 11 February – 04 March 2023 at Richard Koh Fine Art Singapore. 📷: Johann Fauzi, 'Rumah Ku Dunia Ku (My Residence My World)', Oil on linen in gilded mahongany frame. #singaporeanart #artsg
