“Rusk: The Echoes of Memory” showcases the works of five prominent contemporary artists: Han Sai Por, Koh Nguang How, Lee Wen, Tang Da Wu, and Vincent Leow.
These artists share a deep connection with Singapore’s The Artists Village (TAV), a pioneering collective that has profoundly shaped contemporary art in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Through diverse mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and performance art, these artists delve into themes of memory, materiality, and transformation, exploring the interplay between the personal and the collective, the transient and the eternal.
“The Echoes of Memory” reflects on the intersection of materiality and memory, investigating how decay and transformation serve as metaphors for personal and collective histories. From Han Sai Por’s exploration of nature and materiality, to Koh Nguang How’s archival reflections on the history of The Artists Village; from Lee Wen’s performative meditations on identity, to Tang Da Wu’s environmental performance art, and Vincent Leow’s experimental works mourning the devastation of war—these artists are steadfast in their mission to ignite social awareness through their creations. Their works and life journeys promise to inspire and provoke deep contemplation among viewers.
