Developed with works from the collections of NUS Museum and National Gallery Singapore, Bodies/Spaces: Embodied Worlds explored the body as image, container, political instrument and site of relation.
Conceived as a digital exhibition, the project also considered how exhibition-making might move beyond the physical boundaries of the gallery. Digital space can extend access across geography and time, while creating a less intimidating point of entry for audiences who may not ordinarily enter museums or feel familiar with the language of art.
Rather than reproducing the physical exhibition online, Bodies/Spaces explored the digital as a curatorial space in its own right — using sequence, navigation and screen-based encounters to bridge collections and audiences, and to open up different ways of looking, interpreting and connecting.
The exhibition unfolded through three movements — Moving to Contain, Moving to Reflect and Moving to Embrace— bringing together works by Ng Eng Teng, Liu Kang, Ho Soon Yeen, Lee Wen, Amanda Heng and Kara Inez.
