Photograph of a detail of Roberto Chabet's Observatory. The Braille imprints on the photo paper spell out the names of stars.

Observatory is a two-part installation that was first exhibited in 2002 in one of Chabet's annual simultaneous exhibitions in Finale Art Gallery and West Gallery, SM Megamall, Manila. This photograph shows the detail of the reconstructed version in Roberto Chabet's solo exhibition 'To Be Continued' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Singapore - La Salle College of the Arts from 13 January  - 11 February 2011.

'To Be Continued' is a landmark survey exhibition of Chabet’s plywood works from 1984 to the present. In these works, he utilises his signature material – store-bought plywood boards. It is a material, which has become not only the surface and support of his paintings and installations, but to a large extent its subject matter and content.

The exhibition gathers for the first time significant works, including the seminal 1980s trilogy Russian Paintings, House Paintings and Cargo and Decoy. Highlighting process and the provisional aspect of the material, it is reflective of Chabet’s practice, which gives precedence to the fugitive and contingent nature of art.

The exhibition was also shown at Osage Kwun Tong in Hong Kong from 12 August - 21 September 2011 and at the Cultural Center of the Philippines from 19 January - 31 March 2012. The exhibitions are part of Roberto Chabet: Fifty Years, a year-long series of exhibitions organised by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited in various venues in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Manila from 2011 - 2012.
