“Held in the Middle”, jointly organised by UOL Group Limited (UOL) and ART:DIS (Arts & Disability) Singapore, is the debut solo exhibition by artist Christian Tan, overall winner of the UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025.
Featuring a collection of about 30 linocut prints, the exhibition brings together works inspired by Christian’s familiar objects and interests – from cleaning tools, workstations and chairs to pop stars – as reflections of labour, rest, aspiration and joy.
As winner of the grand prize at the UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025, Christian was awarded the opportunity to stage this solo exhibition, which is the largest presentation of his practice to date.
Curated by John Tung, “Held in the Middle” invites audiences to consider the patterns of daily life that often go unnoticed: the work that keeps spaces clean, the seats that allow bodies to rest, and the songs and personalities that fill moments of pleasure and escape. Through Christian’s art, these familiar things are brought into focus, held between use and affection, function and feeling.
