Keys Under the Sofa is an exhibition of artists Cynthia Delaney Suwito, Geraldine Kang, Jaxton Su, Woong Soak Teng and Yang Jie at Hock Siong & Co, a family-owned second-hand furniture shop tucked away in the industrial estate of Tai Seng.
Drawing from the furniture shop as a site of engagement, the artists explore and excavate the symbolic meanings and physical significance of furniture, unearth family and workplace narratives, play with spatial poetics and constructs, and understand the preservation and distribution of preloved objects. Each artist has an interdisciplinary practice, which collectively spans a wide spectrum of media including photography, kinetic sculpture, video art, installation, painting, text and participatory methods. The exhibition is accompanied by public programmes including an artist talk, a film dialogue and a creative repair kintsugi workshop.
Venue: Hock Siong & Co, 153 Kampong Ampat, #01-02/#01-03 Junjie Industrial Building, Singapore 368326
When: 19 Jan - 18 Feb 2024,
