SUMMARY:Latiff Mohidin: Lines to Form
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Latiff Mohidin: Lines to Form\, a landmark solo exhibition by one of Malaysia’s foremost modernist artists. The exhibition unveils Latiff Mohidin‘s first-ever cast bronze sculpture from his iconic Pago Pago series. Presented alongside a selection of works on paper\, the exhibition\, in collaboration with LM Studio\, brings into dialogue a new direction that illuminates the continuity of Latiff’s artistic vision across more than seven decades. \nFirst conceived in the early 1960s\, Pago Pago emerged as Latiff’s vision of a cosmopolitan yet regionally rooted modernism. Shaped by his travels across Southeast Asia\, it evolved into a distinctive visual language informed by the region’s landscapes\, architecture\, and cultural traditions\, while advancing a distinctly Southeast Asian perspective on modernism. The series’ enduring significance is reflected in its international recognition\, including its presentation at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2018. \nCurated by Syed Muhammad Hafiz of LM Studio\, the exhibition introduces Burung 1 (Bird 1)\, realised in collaboration with Yogya Art Lab (YAL)\, Gajah Gallery’s foundry arm based in Yogyakarta. Scaled from his original ciment fondu sculpture of the same name\, the work was cast in silicon bronze under Latiff’s direction\, thus marking the artist’s first foray into bronze and extending the enduring language of Pago Pago into a new medium. \nComplementing Burung 1 (Bird 1) is a selection of works on paper from the Pago Pago\, Gelombang\, Rimba\, and Voyage series. Together\, they trace the evolution of Latiff’s visual language—from the formative Pago Pago works of the 1960s to the landscapes of Gelombang and Rimba\, and meditations on travel and cultural encounters in Voyage. Spanning more than six decades\, these works affirm the coherence and enduring vitality of one of Southeast Asia’s most influential artistic practices.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR – 25TH EDITION 2026
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the 25th edition of VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026\, an international showcase taking place in Venice during the 61st Venice Biennale of Art. The event brings together contemporary artists working across photography\, painting\, video art\, sculpture and mixed media\, investigating the relationship between body\, identity and space. \nThe program develops through the two main sections LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES. The first explores the hidden dimensions of identity\, perception and consciousness\, while the second moves towards abstract and conceptual environments\, questioning the boundaries between body\, mind\, memory and the places we inhabit. \nThe project is further enriched by a series of solo presentations across Venice\, curated by Luca Curci and co-curated by Amaride Ferrante and Giulia Tassi. At Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, Despoina Stathaki presents “Utopia”\, a body of mixed-media works incorporating gold dust\, gold leaf\, and liquid glass to evoke a luminous\, dreamlike universe inspired by Greek mythology. At Palazzo Pisani-Revedin\, Maria Elena Lavie’s practice moves fluidly between figuration and abstraction\, combining classical references with playful and symbolic imagery\, while Thomas Ruhl’s “About People” features hand-coloured\, photo-based portraits that explore and celebrate our shared humanity across cultures. \nThe two venues create complementary contexts for the project\, allowing contemporary artistic languages to enter into dialogue with the architectural and cultural identity of Venice. Within this framework\, the selected works offer different perspectives on identity and perception\, such as Judy Maynard’s “Flourish”\, which introduces an organic dimension\, where botanical shapes and vivid colours evoke growth and transformation.  \nA similar connection between the visible and the inner world continues in Reyhaneh Foyouzi’s “A silent face”\, a contemplative portrait in which silence becomes a realm of introspection and unspoken identity\, a relationship that emerges in Paul Adrian Mabelis’ “The Ontology of Drift Image Formed in the Wake of Thought” too\, where perception appears as an unstable and constantly shifting process. On the same wave\, Alex Iglesias’ “Feline?” plays with ambiguity\, presenting a mysterious feline-like presence emerging from darkness and leaving the viewer torn between recognition and imagination. \nA more intimate atmosphere characterises Ekaterina Stolyarova’s “Silent Sanctuary”\, where delicate lines and soft shapes create a suspended zone between body\, memory  \nand landscape – a threshold between reality and imagination which becomes more dynamic in Asnaby Samuel’s “Djinn 5”\, whose geometric and symbolic figures evoke an enigmatic presence suspended between the material and the imaginary. \nQuestions of freedom and limitation are central to Petra Dorst’s “Globe of freedom”\, where the spherical form becomes a metaphor for a world simultaneously protected and confined. This sense of enclosure continues in Thomas Ruhl’s “Prison of dreams”\, transforming urban structures into a psychological landscape where architecture\, recollection and desire intersect. \nAnother main topic of this edition is the body\, which becomes a central point of connection in the still image from “Cross-Pollination” by Jodi Lomask / CAPACITOR & RJ Muna\, where movement and performance suggest identity as something continuously shaped through relationships with others and the surrounding environment. The journey moves towards collective memory through Harald Hauswald’s “U-Bahn Linie A\, Ostberlin\, DDR 1987”\, where his black-and-white photograph captures an everyday urban scene while preserving the social and historical atmosphere of a specific time and place. \nThe language of everyday reality is transformed through colour and composition in Tiziano Lombardini’s “Composizione con mandarini”\, where ordinary objects become elements of a rhythmic and abstract visual construction – an itinerary that concludes with Despoina Stathaki’s “Reflections”\, in which vibrant colours and fragmented shapes blur the boundaries between landscape\, memory and imagination. \nTogether\, these works present identity as a fluid and evolving condition: bodies become landscapes\, environments become psychological structures\, memories become visual traces and ordinary settings acquire new meanings. The exhibition therefore becomes a journey between intimate and collective experiences\, physical and imagined dimensions\, inviting visitors to reconsider how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

SUMMARY:ABOUT PEOPLE Photo-based artworks by Thomas Ruhl
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group is thrilled to announce the opening of “About People”\, a solo exhibition\nof photo-based artworks by the German artist Thomas Ruhl. Curated by Luca Curci and\nco-curated by Amaride Ferrante\, the exhibition opens on September 17\, 2026\, at the\nhistoric Palazzo Pisani Revedin in Venice\, and will remain on view until September 24\,\n2026.\n“ABOUT PEOPLE” offers visitors an inspiring journey into a captivating universe where\nphotography\, painting\, and literature gracefully intersect. At the center of the exhibition is\nRuhl’s core subject: the individuals he has encountered across the world in his decades as\na photographer and author. Their lives\, cultures\, worries and joys become\, through his\nimages\, a plea for humanism: these are not models\, nor a typology of faces; they are\npeople in their own lives\, with pride\, fears\, hopes and contradictions – people who create\,\nwho make\, who simply are. As highlighted by Prof. Dr. Claus-Christian Carbon (Chair of\nGeneral Psychology and expert in art perception at the University of Bamberg)\, Ruhl’s\nartworks kindly force viewers to slow down: “His works induce a ‘slow perception’ that\ninhibits visual automatisms and stereotypes\, creating a meditative space where viewers\ncan develop new perspectives\, empathy\, and hope.”

The event brings together contemporary artists working across photography\, painting\, video art\, sculpture and mixed media\, investigating the relationship between body\, identity and space. \nThe program develops through the two main sections LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES. The first explores the hidden dimensions of identity\, perception and consciousness\, while the second moves towards abstract and conceptual environments\, questioning the boundaries between body\, mind\, memory and the places we inhabit. \nThe project is further enriched by a series of solo presentations across Venice\, curated by Luca Curci and co-curated by Amaride Ferrante and Giulia Tassi. At Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, Despoina Stathaki presents “Utopia”\, a body of mixed-media works incorporating gold dust\, gold leaf\, and liquid glass to evoke a luminous\, dreamlike universe inspired by Greek mythology. At Palazzo Pisani-Revedin\, Maria Elena Lavie’s practice moves fluidly between figuration and abstraction\, combining classical references with playful and symbolic imagery\, while Thomas Ruhl’s “About People” features hand-coloured\, photo-based portraits that explore and celebrate our shared humanity across cultures. \nThe two venues create complementary contexts for the project\, allowing contemporary artistic languages to enter into dialogue with the architectural and cultural identity of Venice. Within this framework\, the selected works offer different perspectives on identity and perception\, such as Judy Maynard’s “Flourish”\, which introduces an organic dimension\, where botanical shapes and vivid colours evoke growth and transformation.  \nA similar connection between the visible and the inner world continues in Reyhaneh Foyouzi’s “A silent face”\, a contemplative portrait in which silence becomes a realm of introspection and unspoken identity\, a relationship that emerges in Paul Adrian Mabelis’ “The Ontology of Drift Image Formed in the Wake of Thought” too\, where perception appears as an unstable and constantly shifting process. On the same wave\, Alex Iglesias’ “Feline?” plays with ambiguity\, presenting a mysterious feline-like presence emerging from darkness and leaving the viewer torn between recognition and imagination. \nA more intimate atmosphere characterises Ekaterina Stolyarova’s “Silent Sanctuary”\, where delicate lines and soft shapes create a suspended zone between body\, memory  \nand landscape – a threshold between reality and imagination which becomes more dynamic in Asnaby Samuel’s “Djinn 5”\, whose geometric and symbolic figures evoke an enigmatic presence suspended between the material and the imaginary. \nQuestions of freedom and limitation are central to Petra Dorst’s “Globe of freedom”\, where the spherical form becomes a metaphor for a world simultaneously protected and confined. This sense of enclosure continues in Thomas Ruhl’s “Prison of dreams”\, transforming urban structures into a psychological landscape where architecture\, recollection and desire intersect. \nAnother main topic of this edition is the body\, which becomes a central point of connection in the still image from “Cross-Pollination” by Jodi Lomask / CAPACITOR & RJ Muna\, where movement and performance suggest identity as something continuously shaped through relationships with others and the surrounding environment. The journey moves towards collective memory through Harald Hauswald’s “U-Bahn Linie A\, Ostberlin\, DDR 1987”\, where his black-and-white photograph captures an everyday urban scene while preserving the social and historical atmosphere of a specific time and place. \nThe language of everyday reality is transformed through colour and composition in Tiziano Lombardini’s “Composizione con mandarini”\, where ordinary objects become elements of a rhythmic and abstract visual construction – an itinerary that concludes with Despoina Stathaki’s “Reflections”\, in which vibrant colours and fragmented shapes blur the boundaries between landscape\, memory and imagination. \nTogether\, these works present identity as a fluid and evolving condition: bodies become landscapes\, environments become psychological structures\, memories become visual traces and ordinary settings acquire new meanings. The exhibition therefore becomes a journey between intimate and collective experiences\, physical and imagined dimensions\, inviting visitors to reconsider how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

SUMMARY:VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR – 25TH EDITION 2026
DESCRIPTION:ITSLIQUID Group is delighted to welcome you to the openings of the 25th edition of VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026! On September 17\, at 06:00 PM at ITSLIQUID Art Space – San Marco and on September 18\, at 06:00 PM at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, the exhibitions bring together a dynamic intersection of painting\, sculpture\, photography and video art\, inviting a worldwide audience to explore the depths of contemporary creative research. \nProudly part of ANIMA MUNDI 2026\, this edition invites artists to immerse themselves in Venice’s vibrant energy. The fair’s global dialogue continues to expand\, welcoming around 100 artists from over 30 nations and paving the way for this extraordinary new segment. \nVENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2026 invites artists to explore the dialogue between body\, identity\, and space in today’s society. Through the two main sections\, LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES\, the exhibition offers a unique chance to present works that challenge perception and open new perspectives. \nLIQUID ROOMS analyzes the hidden parts of our identities through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality: a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression. \nFUTURE LANDSCAPES presents abstract\, conceptual\, and boundless dimensions\, where spaces are redefined by the mind in an endless flow of ideas. This section reflects on borders and structures between body\, mind\, soul\, and the environments we inhabit.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:Source Code: A Solo Exhibition by Jemana Murti
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Source Code\, the second solo exhibition by Balinese artist Jemana Murti\, opening in October 2026. The exhibition presents a focused examination of Jemana’s evolving practice in response to his Balinese identity within modernity\, exploring the tensions between cultural heritage and technological advancement. \nRaised in a family of artists and deeply influenced by Balinese Hindu traditions\, Jemana’s practice is rooted in an ongoing engagement with the cultural forms and knowledge systems of his home. His work is informed by his interest in ethnomathematics and by the use of proportion\, repetition\, and spatial relationships within Balinese artistic and architectural traditions.  \n  \nIn Source Code\, Jemana brings these inherited forms into dialogue with technologies of the present\, using 3D scanning\, 3D printing\, and artificial intelligence to create sculptural works marked by deliberate distortions and “glitches.” These visual disruptions signal the inherent limitations of technology in replicating the cultural and spiritual significance embedded within these forms. At the same time\, he draws a parallel between the reverence once accorded to divine figures and the growing authority given to technologies that are increasingly perceived as “all-knowing.”   \nThis tension takes on a new material dimension in a recent expansion of Jemana’s practice\, through a series of bronze sculptures created in collaboration with Yogya Art Lab. The works begin as digitally reconstructed and warped forms\, which are then translated into bronze\, carrying the distortions of the virtual realm into physical form. The resulting sculptures bring together the instability of digital manipulation with the weight and permanence of bronze\, a material long associated with durability. Through this process\, Jemana brings a central tension within his practice into sharper focus: the fluidity of technological systems alongside the persistence of cultural forms\, and how technological transformation might nevertheless carry forward or reconfigure something of their cultural and material continuity.

His work is informed by his interest in ethnomathematics and by the use of proportion\, repetition\, and spatial relationships within Balinese artistic and architectural traditions.  \n  \nIn Source Code\, Jemana brings these inherited forms into dialogue with technologies of the present\, using 3D scanning\, 3D printing\, and artificial intelligence to create sculptural works marked by deliberate distortions and “glitches.” These visual disruptions signal the inherent limitations of technology in replicating the cultural and spiritual significance embedded within these forms. At the same time\, he draws a parallel between the reverence once accorded to divine figures and the growing authority given to technologies that are increasingly perceived as “all-knowing.”   \n  \nThis tension takes on a new material dimension in a recent expansion of Jemana’s practice\, through a series of bronze sculptures created in collaboration with Yogya Art Lab. The works begin as digitally reconstructed and warped forms\, which are then translated into bronze\, carrying the distortions of the virtual realm into physical form. The resulting sculptures bring together the instability of digital manipulation with the weight and permanence of bronze\, a material long associated with durability. Through this process\, Jemana brings a central tension within his practice into sharper focus: the fluidity of technological systems alongside the persistence of cultural forms\, and how technological transformation might nevertheless carry forward or reconfigure something of their cultural and material continuity.

SUMMARY:Held in the Middle
DESCRIPTION:“Held in the Middle”\, jointly organised by UOL Group Limited (UOL) and ART:DIS (Arts & Disability) Singapore\, is the debut solo exhibition by artist Christian Tan\, overall winner of the UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025. \nFeaturing a collection of about 30 linocut prints\, the exhibition brings together works inspired by Christian’s familiar objects and interests – from cleaning tools\, workstations and chairs to pop stars – as reflections of labour\, rest\, aspiration and joy. \nAs winner of the grand prize at the UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025\, Christian was awarded the opportunity to stage this solo exhibition\, which is the largest presentation of his practice to date. \nCurated by John Tung\, “Held in the Middle” invites audiences to consider the patterns of daily life that often go unnoticed: the work that keeps spaces clean\, the seats that allow bodies to rest\, and the songs and personalities that fill moments of pleasure and escape. Through Christian’s art\, these familiar things are brought into focus\, held between use and affection\, function and feeling.

SUMMARY:LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 - 19th EDITION
DESCRIPTION:LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 – 19th EDITION \nOctober 09 – 22\, 2026 \nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space \n  \nITSLIQUID Group\, in collaboration with YMX Arts\, is pleased to announce the opening of the 19th edition of LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR. On view from October 09 to October 22\, 2026\, at the central ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, the exhibition brings together international artists working across painting\, sculpture\, photography\, video art\, and performance\, exploring the multisensory dimensions of human consciousness. \n  \nLONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 analyses the complex relationship between body and space\, investigating the continuous hybridisation between individual identities and the cultural\, physical\, and urban settings of our contemporary era. The selected artists draw inspiration from the evocative power of London\, exploring the connection between desires\, needs\, and fears through rituals that bring humankind to change\, transform and evolve their inner world. \n  \nThis inner journey opens with a meditation on perception itself through Burcu Yildirim Parlak’s “Traces of Light”\, which builds a layered terrain of gestural marks and pastel tones settling like imprints of memory\, fragments of experience surfacing through colour. Carina Rabelbauer pushes this exploration further inward with “Ajna – The Eye”\, an immersive field of blue and gold named after the third eye\, where attention turns from the outer world to the awakening of consciousness within. Read together\, the two pieces form a single arc – from the mark left by experience to the eye that learns to read it – establishing the exhibition’s central premise that awareness is felt through the senses before it is understood. \n  \nFrom this interior gaze\, the exhibition shifts outward to the body’s encounter with the city. Kijoo Bae’s “Lines of Silence” renders the rhythm of urban architecture in a striking black-and-white composition\, where repeated structural patterns become a kind of visual hush – quiet not as absence\, but as order. Lola Llinares answers this stillness with motion and noise: her “Traffic Lights” is a dense\, chromatically charged canvas that channels the pulse and friction of city life – hush and traffic become two faces of the same urban condition\, embodying the show’s inquiry into how the self is shaped\, and hybridised\, by the physical and cultural settings it moves through. \n  \nThe exhibition’s final movement turns to the human figures who inhabit this space. In “Véra\, Isabella et Julia”\, Karole Aubourg lets three distinct presences merge into a single earthy\, textured field\, suggesting how separate selves blur and layer into one another over time\, while Piotr Kulikowski’s “Light of Late Summer” captures a comparable threshold with  \n  \na vibrant\, fiery palette\, holding the fleeting moment when one season gives way to the next. Robert T. Rogers closes this sequence with “Bring It to Pass”\, a luminous work suspended between rose and blue that speaks of passage and becoming – a fitting counterpoint to Kulikowski’s seasonal turn\, both artists picturing change as something gradual\, almost atmospheric. \n  \nAcross these different practices\, a common thread emerges: the self is never fixed\, but continuously written and rewritten by light\, place\, and time.  Among the pieces on view\, the exhibition also features a selection of video artworks (see video program). \n  \nOPENING \nOctober 09\, 2026 | 06:00 PM \nRSVP: info@itsliquid.com \nFree entry – Register here \n  \nEXHIBITION DAYS \nOctober 10 – 22\, 2026 \nTuesday – Saturday | 11.00 AM – 05.00 PM \n  \nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space \n253 Hoxton Street\, London N1 5LG \n

SUMMARY:Shifting Images: Photography from Singapore 2000 - 2025\, Systems of Seeing\, Where Images Gather
DESCRIPTION:Artist: Chua Chye Teck\, John Clang\, Geraldine Kang\, Lai Yu Tong\, Bob Lee\, Robert Zhao Renhui\, Zen Teh\, Chow and Lin \nExhibition Period: 11 October 2026 – 10 November 2026 \n  \nPhotography has often been understood through the singular image—the decisive moment\, the iconic photograph\, the picture that stands alone. Yet meaning can also emerge through relationships between images. Through repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, photographs become part of larger structures through which we observe\, organise and understand the world. \n  \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather brings together eight Singapore artists whose practices approach photography as a means of gathering\, classifying\, connecting and constructing knowledge. Across the exhibition\, images form collections\, inventories\, sequences and networks of relationships. Rather than functioning independently\, individual photographs become components within larger systems\, gaining meaning through their relationship to one another and to the structures in which they operate. \n  \nGeraldine Kang’s By Unit of Measurement (2016)\, extending from the gallery entrance into its interior\, introduces the exhibition’s central proposition: the ways we see and assign value are shaped by systems that are rarely neutral. Kang considers how people\, objects and experiences are measured\, while Under the guise of surface (2014) extends this inquiry into public space. Through a staged act resembling municipal maintenance\, Kang draws attention to how the urban environment is continually regulated\, maintained and represented\, determining what remains visible and what disappears. \n  \nQuestions of classification and authority continue in Robert Zhao Renhui’s A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World (2013)\, which adopts the language of scientific documentation to construct a speculative archive of nature. Lai Yu Tong’s Corners (1–35) (2015) turns repetition into a sustained exercise in looking\, transforming overlooked corners into a sequence shaped by duration\, constraint and persistence. \n  \nElsewhere\, comparison becomes a means of understanding larger social structures. Chow and Lin’s The Poverty Line (2010–2026) brings together photographs made across different cities to examine inequality\, allowing individual observations to become part of a broader comparative study. Chua Chye Teck’s Memories (2015) gathers discarded construction wire as traces of Singapore’s changing built environment\, turning accumulation into an act of remembering. 4 selected works from this series are titled Remains of Memories. \n  \nBob Lee’s Memory Blocks (2009-ongoing) similarly builds meaning through accumulation. Portraits of families living in HDB flats come together as a collective image of domestic and social life in Singapore. In John Clang’s Being Together (2010–2012)\, photography becomes a means of connection\, temporarily bringing together families separated by migration and physical distance. \n  \nZen Teh’s Un-knowing (2014) shifts these processes towards landscape. Combining fragments photographed across Singapore’s parks and nature reserves\, Teh constructs landscapes that appear familiar yet cannot be located in any single place\, unsettling the distinction between observing the environment and producing it through images. \n  \nAcross Systems of Seeing: Where Images Gather\, photography extends beyond recording what is before the camera. Through measurement\, classification\, repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, these artists reveal how images participate in constructing ways of knowing. The exhibition asks us to consider not only what photographs show\, but the systems through which they acquire meaning: what is gathered\, measured\, classified\, connected\, preserved or erased—and how these structures ultimately shape what\, and how\, we see. \n__________________________________________ \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather is part of Shifting Images\, a series of exhibitions exploring the diversity and evolution of photographic practices in Singapore. Across eight exhibitions\, Shifting Images brings together different generations of artists and approaches to photography\, reflecting on how the medium has developed\, expanded and responded to changing social\, cultural and technological contexts. \n  \nCurated by Gwen Lee\, with curatorial assistance from Cavin Lim and Luna Chang.
