The catalogue is an accompaniment to the exhibition ‘Fanatic Heart’, a search for an alternative approach to reimagine the political potential of celebrity culture through the lens of fandom. The fifteen artists in the exhibition locate the impulse of fandom culture in socio-political happenings that have taken place across Southeast and East Asia by drawing new connections between celebrity worship, drag, postcolonial and post-socialist identities, religion, and the rise of various social movements. Within this intersection, the exhibition repositions the concept of fandom to explore its evolution in relation to shifts among media, technology, and geopolitical change. (excerpt from Para Site)
