THERE SHE GOES
Lower Gallery
A visual dialogue between lens-based artists Kerryn ‘Kiki’ Salter and Beatrice Morel, which explores the constant movement and fluidity in female expressions. Beyond showing how photography can help to convey emotions without words, process complex feelings, and deliver a visible sense of relief, the exhibition seeks to subvert the systemic dismissal of female emotions.

10 DAUGHTERS
Chapel Gallery
“You have to help me do chores because I have no daughter,” says the artist’s mother, the ninth of 10 daughters. An interdisciplinary presentation under O, initiated by artist Jereh Leung, weaving installation, sound, lighting and live performance,10 Daughters is a journey of liberation, care and self-actualisation vis-à-vis the context of domestic space. The presentation temporarily transforms Objectifs’ Chapel Gallery – the site of a former church and an all-girls school — into a vessel holding generations of stories passed down to the artist. Contemplative yet playful, 10 Daughters brings together personal narratives, fiction and impressions from the artist’s memories of growing up in the 80s and 90s. The work invites you to encounter the artist over two days from morning to night; to recollect, repose and revel in a shared space. In collaboration with Alfonse Chiu, Fellow, Liu Yong Huay, Jing Ng and Tay Ining
