A series of questions that lends itself invariably to an ever longer line of questions on history, climate, culture and epistemologies. Situated within the Jan van Eyck Academie (JVE), Hot House is a project initiated by Kent Chan that played host to a series of exhibitions and events that seek to think through art in a hot and humid environment.  Bringing together artworks and audiences alike in a paradigm centred upon the abundance of heat and humidity - not as constrictions to, but as companions in thoughts. Within the Hot House will be the storytelling performance\/video, Fives Stories On Heat\n\n\nFives Stories On Heat\nPerformance \/ two-channel video installation, 32 minutes, 2020)\nFive Stories On Heat is a storytelling performance by Kent Chan that ruminates upon art's shared histories and futures with heat. Traversing the storied narratives of artmaking during the Vietnam War, Malayan and Hopi myths, potential film plotlines and the first exhibition of Singaporean art in Europe. The performance spans different geographies, terrains and eras - historical, prior and the yet-to-be.","space":"Both works could be situated in a cool and dry indoor space such as a museum or underground space. However, if it is not feasible to install the Hot House, Five Stories On Heat could be exhibited as a standalone work accompanied by the heaters and humidifier. The script of the  performance can also be re-contextualised for Bienalsur 2021. \n\nFive Stories On Heat can also be situated within an indoor open air space that is hot and humid during summer. With the heat lamp and humidifier omitted.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/397047917","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Kent","surname":"Chan","email":"chankent.08@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"E1431291B","address":"Lage Barakken 13B, 6221CH","city":"Maastricht","nacionality":"Singapore","country_id":"169","birthdate":"1984-05-13T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1984-05-13T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+6596323084","web":"kentchan.info"}
