DESCRIPTION

My second exhibition under the mentorship of independent curator & exhibition-maker John Tung. The exhibition was the first one in The Private Museum’s new home at 11 Wilkie Edge.

Given the large scale of the exhibition, precision, clarity and good-planning was key. As such, I assisted Tung in different areas such as:

Creating the wall diagrams, complete with measurements for the museum team & helutrans to reference during the set-up
Sourcing of the different materials for the site-specific installations, such as 300 kg of paddy-rice, fabric banners for Monument, or industrial materials such as expanding foam.
Organising & scheduling meetings with the team
Set-up of the artworks
Drawing of diagrams & schematics to use in the fabrication of Anahata’s base.
