Sriwhana Spong: HA HA HA
Co-published by Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) and Perimeter Editions, this publication accompanies Sriwhana Spong: HA HA HA, the artist’s first major solo exhibition in Australia.
Working across film, sculpture, performance and writing, Spong’s practice explores how knowledge is approached, framed and made perceptible. Her works often begin with a small or contingent encounter – a text, image, living organism or historical trace – which becomes the starting point for extended inquiry. Following these traces through experiential and research-based processes, Spong develops works that reframe understandings of time and the entanglement of human and non-human life.
New texts by Vera Mey, May Adadol Ingawanij, Tessa Laird and poet Ariana Reines situate Spong’s work within expanded fields of cinema, speculative poetics and embodied knowledge. A personal text by the artist reflects on questions of naming, inheritance and cultural transmission. Together, these contributions trace the conceptual threads running through Spong’s practice, offering new perspectives on the ways her work engages memory, history and embodied forms of knowledge.
