Nuttaphol Ma: Ghosts Can Cross Oceans . Curated by Ciara Ennis
Ghosts Can Cross Oceans comprises a meditative sitting space on LAMAG’s balcony, which houses a white jade orchid tree that once grew in Nuttaphol Ma’s parent’s garden before being cut down. The installation references the artist’s memory of his father’s daily ritual of collecting the tree’s blossoming flowers called dawg jam bee—loosely translated as ‘flower remember year’ in Thai—to make offerings to the family altar. Lining the perimeter of the balcony are store-purchased lemongrass plants that Ma has cultivated and brought back to life. Ghosts Can Cross Oceans navigates between longing and not BE longing and the conflicting desire for stability versus perpetual flight.

Across the Sky by Nuttaphol Ma . Screening at EINY
Across the Sky follows a propeller to a meditative journey into a man’s past, his recollections of overflowing riverbanks, his sitting on the steps of his childhood home watching planes and kites passing by. The film invites viewers to a poetic experience about the longing and not BE longing.
As a result of a week-long residency with EINY’s 4th and 5th Grade students in February 2015, Ma introduced the uses of symbols and meanings of kites to engage with students to open-ended dialogues about place and memory. The film incorporates students’ kite markings and their wishes across the sky into the narrative. An artist talk will follow the screening of the film.

The China Outpost > on the road . Open Engagement 2015 / Place and Revolution 17-19 Apr 2015
Open Engagement (OE2015) is an international conference and platform to support socially engaged art. The three-day conference will take place at Carnegie Mellon University from 17-19 April and explore the theme of Place and Revolution.
The China Outpost is thrilled and honored to be selected as part of OE2015 Open Platform programming. Nuttaphol Ma will present his on-going project entitled The China Outpost > on the road, a nomadic self-imposed sweatshop created by Ma. Over the years, Ma has staged temporal settlements throughout Los Angeles. They function as make-shift forums to demonstrate how the artist transforms discarded plastic bags into plastic threads, a material he will use as the core building material for the reconstruction of his ancestral house. The sociocultural intervention invites passerby to conversations about migration and the labor of adapting to a new home. As part of OE2015, Ma will present The China Outpost’s contextual backdrop, highlight significant events that shape its current form and share future direction of the project.

Across the Sky
an artist-in-resident project by Nuttaphol Ma in collaboration with 4th/5th Grade Students at EINY
For Nuttaphol’s residency at EINY, he will work with EINY’s 4th and 5th Grade students in a week-long workshop that will culminate in a collaborative kite installation entitled Across the Sky. Leading up to his residency, Ma and the EINY faculty have been working with students via social media to have conversations about his practice. Ma uses the symbols and meanings of kites to engage with students to an open-ended dialogue about place and memory, the longing and not BE longing.
Across the Sky draws inspiration from a site-specific performance in 2009 in Death Valley California where Ma constructed a handheld kite and ran with it towards the middle of Badwater Basin.
This collaborative installation comprised of objects, writings and drawings display a process-based approach to discovering one’s own symbol associated with place and memory. Across the Sky is a collective mythology of our meanderings, our longing and not BE longing. As our kites take flight in the sky, we reflect on our surroundings, our neighbors, our families, our enemies. What are our wishes for the world? Some wishes are attached to our kites while some remain sheltered. In the end, we simply let go.
