An oxymoron on many levels, this place is ultimately representative of space between boundaries; wakefulness and slumber, working and restful, solitary and inhabited, lust and apathy…” This installation provides an insight into the thoughts and processes behind the creation of Choo’s […]

Mechanical Dance (2018) is a visual behavioural study on a series of small ‘artefacts’.These artefacts are machines made of different everyday objects, powered by an electrical mechanism to create varied movement(s).

In Worn In, the Artists have borrowed the visual language employed by furniture chain IKEA and designed pieces of pseudo furniture. The result is an intriguing space that poses the question of what makes a space one that is truly worn-in, and a space for the living? by Aini Azidah, Megan Miao, Georgiana Phua To view Worn In, visit […]
