14-days STAY HOME NOTICE

EZZAM RAHMAN, in closeness for me there is still distance for you, 2020, Performance for photography, digital print on canvas ( series of 3 ) Unique with 1 AP, 42cm X 29cm

As our world and societies grapple with COVID-19, what is really happening to our inner selves? Physically lockdowned and socially distanced, where are we emotionally, psychologically, creatively? More intimately than before, many will find ourselves face to face, with our own conscience, desires, regrets, fears, hopes, convictions; and if we allow ourselves to retreat into deeper self-containment and self-discovery at the same time, where will our imagination lead us?

SHIH YUN YEO, Ugly Mee, 2020, 20 x 30cm, Reverse UV print on clear acrylic (Edition of 5)

INSTINC brings together the emotional perspectives, stories, expressions and curious explorations of 14 isolated artists with #StayHomeNotice, an online art exhibition traversing the subliminal connections and some paradoxical pitstops on the uncharted itinerary between extraordinary isolation and creativity.

Can one happily embrace a forced measure of solitude? What have we unexpectedly regained as intellectual humans because we are losing our freedoms? How is it that loneliness can dissolve barriers and be a source of warmth for some? Are we connecting more than before when we are at our most disconnected and disrupted? Perhaps it is only in confronting and connecting with our inner realities that we truly are evolving in our humanity, and to discover the pathways to make peace with the unknowns of such pandemic times.

INSTINC believes in the power of art and personal creative processes to make sense and inspire the human condition. We hope that our works in #StayHomeNotice can help our audience to connect in with their own creativity as we all take the journey forwards for as long as it takes.

25% of sales proceeds will be donated to the COVID19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO. (https://covid19responsefund.org/)
