Guest curator: Raphael Fonseca
Guest curator Raphael Fonseca lives and works in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. His ongoing research as a curator, critic and art historian explores strategic linkages between contemporary art and history. As a conceptual basis for 'Lost and found', Fonseca has considered a series of questions around the idea of the collection as a repository through which to understand, communicate and utilise historical accounts, imaginative narratives and classification processes. He has selected 10 artists whose practices explore in unusual and specific ways what he describes as ‘the ancient and existential acts of collecting, classifying, organising and showing things’. The majority of the presented works address collections of art and artefacts, while others, such as Gala Porras-Kim’s printed texts, present evidence of processes and procedures as a way to probe the transparency and accountability of collections management.
Brazilian artist Ismael Monticelli has created a major installation that includes sculptures and tools associated with Brother Joseph McNally, the founder of LASALLE College of the Arts. Monticelli situates McNally’s figurative sculptures along with other props and materials in front of a dramatic painted backdrop. The installation references the potent incongruity of the Poh Tiong Keng ‘sunken’ temple that stood against the backdrop of a then ultra-modern Toa Payoh housing block for nearly 10 years until the temple was demolished in 1977.
Artist and architect Yazan Khalili, based in Palestine, examines the politics in the constitution of art collections. Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, Fyerool Darma, Raquel Stolf and Tromarama variously question museological rationales for determining what is worthy of being collected. Batia Suter, Pamela Cevallos and Rosângela Rennó explore in their exhibited works the global proliferation of images while exposing the tension in relations between an original and a copy, an organised collection and a Pandora’s box.
'Lost and found' presents artworks never before shown in Singapore; many works have been commissioned especially for the exhibition.
Raphael Fonseca and Ismael Monticelli are LASALLE’s ICA Singapore 2019 curator-in-residence and artist-in-residence respectively.

Common Name: Fighting Spider
Habitat:
Low vegetations in gardens, parks and trails.
Notes:
Fighting Spiders, as the name suggests, are spiders that will fight aggressively with one another when pitted together, probably due to territorial behaviour. Males tend to be more aggressive during fights. These spiders have metallic green stripes on their bodies.
During fights, Fighting Spiders use their 1st leg pairs to jab and push the opponent. The loser might lose a few appendages during the fight, and will often flee.
Fighting Spiders make their nests by sticking two pieces of leaves together and will usually wait inside for preys to pass by before ambushing.
Distribution: Common throughout Malaysia

From the Timeline: On its 60th anniversary, The Asia Foundation seeks to focus international attention on six critical issues facing Asia, including transparency and accountability in government. Accountable government is critical to sustainable growth in Asia, particularly in countries experiencing rapid social and economic change. As more Asian countries achieve middle-income status, citizen demands for good government are growing. Failure to address these demands may relegate many Asian countries to economic stagnation, social unrest, and political instability.
