Roberto Chabet: Alarm and Chaos (Manuscript - Exhibition notes)

Manuscript of the notes titled 'Roberto Chabet: Alarm and Chaos', written by Ringo Bunoan. The three-part exhibition was held at West Gallery from 31 March - 27 April 2009.

Excerpt from the exhibition notes:

The title ‘Alarm and Chaos’ is derived from Shakesperean plays, a stage instruction that calls for sudden mayhem. In Chabet’s exhibition, the three rooms of the gallery are turned into apprehensive scenes using familiar objects – harmonicas and clipboards, embedded or attached to almost nondescript, monochrome paintings and neon texts that reference philosopher Soren Kiekergaard, poet Rainier Maria Rilke and artist Alexander Rodchenko. The three installations, Fear and Trembling Alone Is Not Enough, For Beauty Is Nothing But The Beginning of Terror, and Who’s Afraid of Alexander Rodchenko?, explore the anxieties of modern life and the ruptures brought forth by the collisions of everyday images.
