Developing out of personal experience with scoliosis and a chance encounter with medical archives at the Wellcome Collection, rules for photographing a scoliotic patient finds its way through found images, text, materials and objects related to the abnormal curvature of the spine.

Through arrangement of visual and tactile materials and collaboration with other scoliotic individuals, this ongoing exercise attempts to make sense of various inventions of spinal interventions, the role of image-making in the medical field, the male gaze towards the female body and human experiences of living with spinal deformity.

About A Different Reading

A Different Reading is a project by THEBOOKSHOW that attempts to open up new dialogues and synergies between young creatives of varied background, training and knowledge through the process of creating a new artist book. Bringing together 5 young artists and 4 young designers, under the mentorship of Hanson Ho of H55 and artist Ang Song Nian, each artist-designer pair produces a new art book that was launched at the Singapore Art Book Fair 2022.

About THEBOOKSHOW

THEBOOKSHOW aims to become a mediator between the art world and the general public through the book medium. It acts as an avenue for artists to showcase self-published art books in exhibitions and art festivals in hopes to bring upon renewed perspectives of the medium. We believe very much in challenging the medium – moving away from its conventional form and exploring the vast possibilities the medium allows. In time, we seek to build a substantial database advocating that the book form as an art in and of itself, harnessing this non-discriminatory medium to reach new audiences and connecting the arts community through exhibitions and activities centring the art book, establishing THEBOOKSHOW to be synonymous with the presentation of art books and working towards our eventual goal of building a thriving, all inclusive arts culture.

Visual Thinking: Sense of Knowing, was a group show featuring the process drawings by 10 local artists, which have rarely been seen by the general public. The exhibition ran from 14 January – 13 February 2022 at Comma Space.

Being one of the oldest forms of human expression, drawing is an in-between phase of disciplinary development that crystallises an artist’s ideas and imagination. For artists, creating drawings is more than an intuitive expression, which can help to bring their sensation into knowing. It is an important moment of visual thinking that captures the relationship between hands and mind, which is often a result of visualisation, de-problematisation, projection into the unknown and visual communication.

The drawings in the show are chosen with the condition that the final artworks have already been successfully realised. The artists, selected based on their diversified areas of practices, include conceptual artists, sculptors, painters, performer, architect, etc, offering an extensive view of how drawings play a critical part in the realisation of a final creation.

Visual Thinking is part of INBETWEEN – a key curatorial series of Comma Space for 2021-2022.
