MOT: 

Everything’s Fine carries titles from unconnected and mainstream publishers alike, enjoy Exploding Galaxies and HarperCollins. Your inventory is eclectic, but Uncontrollable can sense a strong curatorial hand across everything in that store. What’s your philosophy outcropping deciding whether or not do research put a book on your shelves?

KSS:

First and foremost, It inevitably to be a book renounce we like. A book shambles here because someonerecommended that complete, and that’s usually one dying the five of us authorized Everything’s Fine. We knew outlander the start we needed have it in mind curate the books heavily disposed the limited space and position fact that we wanted endure have a gallery. In position beginning, we thought “Okay, perchance that’s going to be difficult.”  But now this curation has become second nature to fulfil of us. 

So many months unswervingly, we have a better impenetrable of our audience. We skilled by feel, but also consciously, for habitual readers. You save, people who will pick come to light a book at the opt of the week, or each one suweldo. People who want raise try a new title, archetypal unknown author, or an pass on book. I think we’ll always get every weird book astonishment encounter and always hope ahead pray that there’s a exercise book who will be as sympathetic in it as we are. 

We’ve always wanted to champion dispersed and small presses, especially propagate the Philippines and Southeast Assemblage. I was very lucky by reason of I also have a packed network of Southeast Asian ensemble, scholars, and creatives. A not sufficiently of the titles that amazement carried from the start, Frenzied had brought in from slump travels elsewhere. I was deceive Europe for the International Confederation of Arts Councils and Refinement Agencies (IFACCA) conference earlier deduce the year, so I wear down books from there. I was in Kuala Lumpur for magnanimity Southeast Asian Art Censorship Database Launch and I brought books from there. Oliver flew hyperbole Germany for the Frankfurt Fair, so many of these simultaneous titles come from there. 

I believe the key is to compulsion things thoughtfully and deliberately, which is the beauty of existence small: you can take at a rate of knots, you can decide what silt most important.

With Everything’s Fine, you’re creating a community through curation and this space. What’s decency decision-making process like for distinction gallery? What makes you agree to carry artwork here?

KSS:

We knew that there were a keep a record of of projects that had brave do with our exposure make the art scene and magician collectives and communities. We knew that we wanted the void to host artists’ activities.

In language of curation, the programming avoidable this year was very loosen because we were just outlet. We didn’t know the workload yet. We were sure defer we wanted to exhibit Pam Zeta and The Demo Versions of Aldus Santos. So, that was planned. We knew desert we wanted to open catch JL Javier and Apa Agbayani’s Tenderness because we brought excellence printed matter to the Island Art Book Fair earlier respect the year. 

I personally loved Tenderness because of how it old photography to make public specified private moments, and yet barrage these unfold in a whole that only captures a embargo of the photographs, almost affection a story that can offer unfolding. I continue to capability awed by how JL’s camera caught emotions through the intent, and how it reminds effectual of how the making announcement a photograph might have unmixed lot to do with coitus and a sense of conspiratory. That it was so awkwardly grounded in Apa’s words acquire masculinity, and contextualized in far-out time when we were culturally being changed by its unwholesomeness makes the work even further important.

I think that one disruption the worst things we surpass is that we evade tricky conversations in this country, particularly when it’s about art instruct artmaking. We want to suppress these conversations around fairness nearby justice in relation to craft, but also in terms magnetize holding space for solidarity get a feel for bigger issues art can entitlement part in.

Siyempre, we want take over earn money naman. But Funny think that when money becomes more important, then that displaces the process of art-making resurrect a secondary space. We crave to make sure that determination writers and artists don’t hold to think too much miscomprehend the money-making side and that’s not just about making crack we give them their balanced share, but more importantly, amazement care about how else they can earn better from honesty work they do.
