'Commencing from a specific geography and a state of mind to generate a certain way of apprehending locality, the exhibition South by Southeast. A Further Surface discusses the spectral idea of artistic initiative through the lens of materiality and reciprocity as poignant and also resolute stances. The body of works presented in the exhibition centers on the "Southeast" as a trope to understand the world today. The socio-political tensions in Southeast Asia and Southeast Europe have informed the art works produced in these regions, in the same way that certain prominent ideas nurtured in this artistic environment have raised questions that would shape social policies at a global level — like the interpretation of history, the use of archives, or the importance of recording memory.' - from the introduction (p.5)
