The inaugural edition is titled Residues & Remixes, and is focused on the impact of historical remnants on the present as well as the influence of new technologies on how we see, experience and understand the world. It features works by six Singapore-based artists, Yeyoon Avis Ann, Anthony Chin, Fyerool Darma, Priyageetha Dia, Khairulddin Wahab and Moses Tan...
SAM Contemporaries: Residues & Remixes is on at Gallery 1, SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark (May 18-Sep 24), as well as SAM Hoardings along Bras Basah Road & Queen Street (May 18-Oct 29)
Emerging visual artist Aki Hassan, who has their work shown previously at National Gallery Singapore and received commissions from Singapore Art Museum, has finally received their first solo exhibition. Titled Entangled Attachments, the show at Yeo Workshop explores themes of non-conformity, love, change, kinship and survival through the artist’s signature sculptural installations and experimental comics.
To the artist, they perceive people’s subconscious gestures as embodied quiet resistance that persists within us as we endure restrictions brought about by societal conventions. Their poignant exhibition Entangled Attachments proposes that notions of kinship and solidarity can arise beyond how it’s typically imagined – by giving weight to the simple state of coexisting in proximity to one another, we loosen ourselves up from predominant hierarchies and ideal ties of kinship.
On now till June 18 at Yeo Workshop, #01-25 Gillman Barracks, 47 Malan Road..."
