Featuring
Daniel Chong
Artist, Curator
Daniel Chong (b. 1995, Singapore) is an artist-curator that works
between the quiet slippages of function and sentimentality. Working through subtlety, his
works evoke an emotive sense of longing and desire. Chong engages with materialism as a
means to unearth sentimental connections through objects, but centred in our understanding
of them through its use. His practice is often characterised with the ability to softly nudge our
preconceived notions of objects through minute interventions. His works seem irreverent and
casual but in it lies a thorough process of listening and working an object through its
materiality.

Dylan Chan
Artist
b. 1997, is a Singaporean artist who graduated from Lasalle College of The Arts with a BFA (Hons) in 2022.
Primarily an image maker, his practice sits on the cusp between image and object making, re-examining the ways in which the body positions itself within domestic spaces and its phenomenological response towards objects.
In trying to articulate the poignant moments of the mundane, Chan is interested in the ways we navigate thresholds and relationships between private spaces and the surfaces we come into contact with. Chan brings into focus the act of peeling back the layers of intimate relationships and reflects upon the spaces we dwell in and how we navigate them.
