My Singapore on Public Notice project will debut as an exhibition at Singapore International Photography Festival 2016 as part of The Archive as Conversation.

The Archive as Conversation continues as apparatuses, dialogues and new & old mediums in the form of revisiting old photo studio images, installations, photo prints, videos and conceptual narratives by nine artists. The exhibition will be presented in an arena of shipping containers at the Open Plaza of the National Library Building. Featured artists include Angki Purbandono (Indonesia), Kevin WY Lee (Singapore), Miti Ruangkritya (Thailand), Robert Zhao Renhui (Singapore), Thomas Sauvin & Lei Lei (France & China), Tom Stayte (UK), Tomasz Gudzowaty (Poland), and Zakaria Zainal (Singapore).

SINGAPORE ON PUBLIC NOTICE is a collection of notices put up in public spaces in Singapore. A survey of sentiments and vernacular. A story of this small Southeast Asian city state, as scripted by its people – a tale of comedy and tragedy, mystery and miracle, heroes and villains, thieves and lovers, politics and piety. 

In an increasingly virtualised world, public notices remind us of physicality, that we still live very much in physical spaces, where chance and encounters are navigated and negotiated.
