Photograph of a detail of Roberto Chabet's Waiting in Line to See the Trinity Site, showing clipboards with pictures of various domes under tinted box frames.

The clipboards are part of larger installation composed of painted plywood panels, red neon arrows, a reproduction of Andreas Cellarius’ 17th century star map, The Harmonica Macrocosmica, and a photograph of a line of cars along a desert highway heading to the Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was tested in the US in 1945. The work was first exhibited at Paseo Gallery, SM Megamall, in 2009.

This photograph shows the reconstructed version of the work from the exhibition, 'To Be Continued,' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Singapore - La Salle College of the Arts from 13 January - 11 February 2011. The work was also included in the same exhibition at Osage Kwun Tong in Hong Kong from 12 August - 21 September 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 is 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.
