When not trying to play catch-up with the arts scene, he attends his undergraduate classes somewhere in the far West of Singapore. He also works right in the heart of one of Singapore’s red light districts. With his background in arts management, graphic design, and writing, Jenson hopes to share the joy of contemporary art with his generation.

A former banker, currently a start-up ranger and forever an art lover, Yi Wen believes 42 is the answer to everything, and that the only way to eat a muffin is to eat it calmly.

A chemical engineer by training, she still has not given up her dream of being Willy Wonka one day.
