A small shift in orientation, and one thing becomes another.
Cat, Cally and Gen revisit works, materials and obsessions that have stayed with them: found tiles, woven pockets, a view from a window, looped jewellery.
Like the letters p, b, d, q — which become one another through simple rotation — each work carries traces of something that came before, landing somewhere new.
A view from a window becomes a landscape you share space with. A found tile, recognised only years later, becomes a stool. An object carried in a pocket becomes something held up to the light.
About Artists
Catherine Hu is an artist working primarily in sculpture and print media.
Her process often involves recreating existing objects to explore the gradient between looking like and being something. Acting like puns, her works gather multiple meanings into a single form, a point of contact where seemingly disparate ideas can be reconciled.
Catherine Hu has exhibited in solo and two-person shows at gallery no one (Chicago), Heaven Gallery (Chicago), and Comfort Station (Chicago), and at the Singapore International Festival for the Arts, and Singapore Art Week.
Genevieve Leong’s art practice attempts to visualise the intangible. Beginning with the immaterial, her work often combines text, image, found and made objects and the manipulation of space to create what she describes as “an almost physical image”. The installations that she creates often embody an impermanence with possibilities for change, whether it be due to audience participation or natural environmental factors. Her work seeks to shed new light onto her emotions, sensations, and realisations.
Genevieve Leong completed her BA Fine Art (Photography & Digital Imaging) at NTU School of Art, Design & Media, Singapore, in 2015, and her MA Contemporary Art Practice (Critical Practice) at the Royal College of Art, London, in 2019. She was based in Switzerland since 2019 and relocated back to Singapore in April 2023.
Her selected exhibitions include solo shows at starch, I_S_L_A_N_D_S and Supernormal in Singapore, and group presentations at institutions and galleries including Ota Fine Arts (SG), Galerie Durchgang (Switzerland), Objectifs (SG), Kunstmuseum St Gallen (Switzerland), Kunst(Zeug)Haus (Switzerland) and Kunstmuseum Olten (Switzerland).
Cally Tan is a textile-forward object-maker whose practice explores the representation of objecthood and potency in non-human matter.
She believes that tracing these modes of being can inform alternative ways of navigating personal scapes such as memory terrains or tangled emotions.
She is deeply inspired by experiences derived from object-making, specifically using textile materials and techniques. Her works are often birthed from slow-accumulative fibres and echo both intimate and unfamiliar relationships shared between people and the everyday artefact.
Cally holds a Master’s degree in Textile Design from Tama Art University. She has exhibited across Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at Kuma Gallery (Tokyo), founded by the Kuma Foundation, SPIRAL (Tokyo), and Art Outreach (SG), alongside solo exhibitions at Gallery Blue 3143 (Tokyo), YAO ALTERNATIVE SPACE (Taichung), and I_S_L_A_N_D_S (SG).
Hong Shu-ying 方舒颖 hoards images and stories as a way to make sense of how we learn and remember. The works she makes often take the form of printed matter and moving images. She grew up in amateur Chinese orchestras where learning happened through emulating and copying, surrounded by hand-copied and photocopied scores—a practice that evolved into observing how meaning drifts through repetition and translation.
She co-founded Part Time Book Club and conceived | | on paper, in hopes that resource-lean initiatives can create meaningful spaces for dialogue and exchange.
Hong Shu-ying received the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography and has exhibited in Singapore and abroad, with upcoming solo presentations at RM Gallery (NZ) and Cartel Gallery (TH). She is currently a resident at the Singapore Art Museum.
