French electronic label Pschent (Hôtel Costes) has commissioned me to bring together a digital music selection from Asia's rising new  generation of independent artists, the first of a series exploring the entire world.

This is a first compilation designed as a collection demonstrating Asia’s artistic vitality and diversity, from its rising new generation of artists.

In return for the love and loyalty from our fans in Asia, our aim is to recognize and promote local original talents to regional as well as worldwide audiences, curious and proud to discover fresh creativity from across the continent.

This compilation of 16 tracks is pulsating with good vibrations, eclectic and celebrating the many local scenes and regional tastes: electronica, chill, acid jazz, jazzy hip hop...

NeoFolk Asian contemporary art show in Singapore, January 15 - March 1, 2014

Our NeoFolk exhibition has its 2nd installment at Ikkan gallery, Helutrans bldg, opening January 14th for Art Stage Singapore.
With Clear Edition Tokyo and Kult Singapore.

NeoFolk2 explores the work of artists in Asia who have been rediscovering their roots and traditional crafts, by remixing and creating images inspired by their heritage.
These artists use the same visual language of their ancestors to create a commentary on contemporary Asian culture and society.
This multimedia exhibition gets under the surface of living in modern Asia. We see this form of visual expression as a search for identity, a desire to rework heritage in order to shape the future.

Featuring works including

Taiwanese artist Tangent Lin exhibits at Galerie LJ in Paris

Young Taiwanese artist Tangent Lin uses the thinnest black ballpoint pens, which she drops on their heads for best effect. She uses old and fragile sketch paper, so her drawings become a tactile experience as well.
She exhibits at Galerie LJ's Paper Works exhibition until Oct19, 2013.

NeoFolk South East Asian contemporary art show at Cutlog Paris art fair, Oct19-23

Response at the Cutlog art fair Oct19-23 to our NeoFolk showing has been amazing.

Our NeoFolk show, by Clear Edition gallery, was by far the most popular amongst visitors and exhibitors alike. People and media were grateful to discover and learn about contemporary art that wasn't conceptual or commercial pop art, but fresh, original, narrative, and immediately accessible.

Feedback on the artworks was a mix of wonder and joy for such uniqueness, talent, dedication and craftsmanship.

Kult magazine's NeoFolk catalogs went out like hot cakes, opening visitors' eyes to a new realm of creation.

They were distributed to hot spots around Paris, galleries, shops and bars.

Cutlog director Bruno Hadjadj introduced us to French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand at the launch of the Paris international contemporary art fair on October19th, and gave him the Kult # NeoFolk issue.

Syan aka MC Yan's live mural and hip hop performance was a blast, astonishing everyone at the Arte prize party on Oct21st.

Multiple connections were made, for future exhibitions across various art centres, galleries and curators in Paris, Marseille, Nice, Belgium, London and Naples.

The Cutlog team has been very supportive, giving us the best, central spot in the fair, and introducing our works to his network of collectors, curators and media.

Many thanks to Steve and Zarani at Kult for publishing the beautiful NeoFolk issue.
