Emote/Icon takes as its investigative premise the pandemic sensation of the recurrence of time, and the cross-transformation of the durational and the ritual. This exhibition draws together two of Singapore’s best mid-career practitioners, Lynn Lu and Joshua Yang, with their strengths in the practice of durational craft through drawing, painting, live performance and video.

Lu and Yang each navigates this contract between thought and time, picking on the everyday absurdities while illustrating how multifaceted a memory of a moment can be. Emote/Icon suggests a life for image – not as the rapid-response and of-the-moment emoticon or snapshot – but as the transmission space for temporalities that are untimely, meditative, and singular without being merely linear.
