Poklong Anading
Born in Manila in 1975. Now based in Philippines.
He studied under Roberto Chabet and graduated at the University of the Philippines in 1999.
A vast part of his projects is based on the notion of deductive research – collecting as an act, as a method to extract the essential but then portray the organic appropriateness of dissimilarity. The idea of continuity as a principle is manifested in Anading’s creative processes since most of his physicalized works are excerpts of these archives.
He participated in the Gwangju Biennale twice, in 2002 and 2012. He was invited to the Jakarta Biennale in 2009 and other famous Asian international exhibitions. In 2012 He was invited to contribute his work series “Anonymity“ to the exhibition “Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past” in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco (California, USA) and works of the artists have been exhibited in the Zentrum fu¨r Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe (Germany) and the Yokahama Museum of Art(Japan).
