Material as Method: Kwok Kian Chow in Dialogue with Teo Hui Min

Material is typically seen as a component of the larger category of “medium” in art. Yet, particularly in the realm of painting, this concept warrants rethinking.

By drawing upon insights from the exhibition Cheong Soo Pieng: Layer by Layer, this dialogue between Kwok Kian Chow and exhibition curator Teo Hui Min aims to examine the transformative impact of artists and art movements on the interpretation of materiality within the context of modern art in Singapore and Asia in the 1950s.

Venue: National Gallery Singapore, City Hall Wing, Level B1, Padang Atrium
