Jef Carnay

Artist-in-residency at Roma Arts Supported by Valentine Willie Fine Art

Bandung, 4-29 November, 2012

Jef Carnay is a Manila-based visual and performance artist who exhibits his

works in local and international art galleries, museums and alternative spaces;

he performed at both local and international art events; he also curated live art

performances. He’s fascinated with people’s behavior in situations, and he

plays around the ideas of ‘what if’s: possibilities of alternative situations and

narratives. He’s in constant collaboration with the many inside ‘himself’. He

also explores humor, for it’s easier to swallow a bitter pill of reality when it’s

coated with a little loony sugar. He’s now exploring the concept of what’s seen

against what’s being experienced: what actually can be seen doesn’t tell the

whole story, there is always more of what is physically present, some

intangible concealed notions alongside the evident.

Roma Arts, founded in 2011, promotes passionate, ambitious and focused

ways of producing, presenting, experiencing, and writing about the diverse

forms of arts. Roma Arts gives keen attention to art practices, forms of

presentation, experiencing the arts, and discourses on art. In 2012, Roma

Arts started a residency program to foster creative person-to-person contacts.
