The common thread that brought the works of all the artists together for this exhibtion was the emotional connection between our ethnographical place of origin, and an adopted ‘home’, one where we’ve spent plenty of time living, visiting, or working in. By collecting fragments and vignettes from our surroundings we delve into our personal memories and mythos, in search of living, dwelling, and displacement.
Through engaging with mirroring surfaces and porous materialities, I mark and weave views of all the bedrooms I've inhabited. As I now prepare to transition out of Singapore, I reflect on these abstractions and nostalgic deconstruction to translate my inner experiences of belonging-hood, dreaming and way-finding amidst feelings of uncertainty and departure.
* Code Switch is the inaugural exhibition of Show Room On-The-Move.
Show Room On-The-Move is a project by Post-Museum. It is a mobile art platform that seeks to transform traditional conceptions of galleries, museums, and art institutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced arts spaces to rethink how they interact with the public, and rather than waiting for a return to "normal," Post-Museum is working with the community to collectively reimagine what art spaces can and should be in the new normal. By taking art directly to the people, Show Room On-The-Move aims to make art more accessible and inclusive while promoting new ways of experiencing and understanding art.
