Paradise Is At The Tip Of A Needle

The exhibition Paradise is at the Tip of a Needle explores the enduring impacts of the region’s histories and politics, showing how these complex legacies have been transformed into art that foregrounds the social purpose of art-making. Borrowing its title from one of Singaporean artist Fyerool Darma’s works, the phrase serves as a metaphor for how the pursuit of a better way of being and living can often be fraught with uncertainty, precarity, and at the risk of destabilisation.

With artworks drawn from the Linda Neo and Albert Lim Collection, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between past and present, contested memories and knowledge systems which the artists of the region express in their works.

Venue: Primz Gallery, 40 Penjuru Lane, Blk 1 #01-06, Singapore 609216

When: 13 Jan - 6 Jul 2025, by appointment

By: Primz Gallery
