This publication was published as the catalogue to the exhibition, South X Southeast held at Osage Hong Kong from 7 March to 3 May 2015.

The exhibition plots out the place of the “south” in the world. It is conceived as a geography and a geopolis, a formation of nature and power. It is an index of the sphere supposedly beyond the center. It may be a growth region or a flash point, a province or a threshold. The angle of this south is further sharpened by another coordinate and orientation, and that is the “east.” Taken together, the “southeast” shapes the “south” through the contemporary art of Southeast Asia and Southeast Europe. The exploration of the Southeastern condition from a spatial perspective has politicized the visuality stemming from this realm, usually zeroing in on the model of revolutions, social distress, the repressed body or the shifting conditions of the self. Using the instruments of contemporary knowledge, it is essential to resist the Leviathan texture that surrounds the Southeastern condition.

The socio-political tension in Southeast Asia and Southeast Europe has often cast the works produced in this configured space, in the same way that the profusion of certain ideas nurtured in the artistic environment has raised questions that would later prove essential to the social policies at a global level – like the interpretation of history, the use of archives or the importance of registering memory.
