Opening of Dream: Borderlands and Other Territories

I'm back in Singapore now!

Quick update: After a hectic two days setting up the show right after touching down, its now at the gallery at the Goodman Arts Centre (better photos coming soon). I haven't had much time or internet connection to write while travelling through Berlin, Köln, Lengerich, Windsor, and London, but there are many more stories to recount, which I will do more of this week after things settle down.

Thank you to friends in London and Berlin who were kind enough to lend me their space or tables so I could work on these large drawings - especially Kaya, Rich, Richard Thomas, and Gunnar! Without having quiet spaces I probably couldn't have even tried to work on these while on the road. And thank you to Zai, Dawu, Kaiqun, Bruce, Mike, Mark Thia, Elizabeth, Mark Wong, Yuzuru, Kai, and all the others involved in putting the show together here in Singapore, and also building up the space (from what was essentially an empty room into a gallery space in a few days). Special thanks to Philipp and Jason Lee for helping me drill and mount the works at the eleventh hour (we finished mounting everything up at 7.50PM to be precise and then it opened at 8pm!). And of course thanks to all friends who came down to see the works and performances!

The exhibition is on at Goodman Arts Centre from 1-15 July so do come down!
It will be open from 11am-8pm daily, except for 15th when it will close at 1.30pm.
