About Routes, Not Roots
Organised by: Art Agenda @ 63 SpottiswoodePerformed by: Lim Kwong Ling, DASSAD
Synopsis:
About Routes, Not Roots is an exhibition that examines Singapore's continual evolution. Black and white photographic works by Lim Kwong Ling (b. 1932) are seen alongside video art and prints created using machine-learning technology by DASSAD, an artist collective comprising Dave Lim (b. 1994), Adar Ng (b.1994) and Woong Soak Teng (b.1994). While Lim Kwong Ling's photographs pay tribute to the labours and joys of the late 1900s, DASSAD's work reflects the wandering thoughts of an increasingly digitalised population, one that contemplates upon their shifting home.
