About the event
Various outdoor spaces around Objectifs
20 Jan - 1 Mar 2026
Curated by Daniel Chong and Dylan Chan
Featuring works by Chok Si Xuan, Grace Tan, Ian Tee, PG Lee and Sookoon Ang
Exposure_Exposure unfolds as a constellation of public works by five artists, occupying the outdoor margins of Objectifs. The title gestures toward two forms of exposure: the literal visibility of artworks encountered in the open, within eyeshot of the busy intersection of Middle Road and Waterloo Street; and the ambient pressure of gaining exposure during Singapore Art Week, where hundreds of events vie for attention.
Here, exposure becomes a mode of meeting. Each work introduces a different interval: a curtain drifts in the air creating a soft threshold; the earth extends revealing its agentic capacities; a field baits us with the nostalgia; looming vases touch on an overwhelming of emotional; while metal roots question relations themselves in a kinetic display of parasitic entanglement.
Though distinct in concept and form, their relations exceed the site. The exhibition frames them as encounters within encounters: a choreography between viewer and material, matter and space, and, in some works, the broader architectures of system and structure that contour life in Singapore.
What may first appear as light, serendipitous moments gradually unfold into layered frictions, articulated through movement, breath, and form. Exposure_Exposure invites audiences to arrive open, and exposed to allow themselves to be seen as much as they look. And perhaps to leave touched by a renewed sense of exposure.
