The Lie of the Land
Artist Focus: Shane Ng

This work presents a series of windmills formed from thin, intricately crafted porcelain. Activated by a passing breeze, the windmills respond with a gentle, hesitant spin that feels playful and candid.

Beneath this lightness lies a quieter tension. Porcelain, often associated with durability and refinement, is rendered vulnerable to repetition and time. Every breeze becomes a subtle force of erosion, contributing to gradual wear and fatigue. The work weathers not through spectacle, but through accumulation by bearing the marks of touch, air, and time. It slowly withers away by spinning and responding to the elements presented, suggesting that destruction is often slow, tender, and almost invisible, unfolding within moments of being, care, and habit.

As part of the ongoing development of 5cm square, more or less, Grace Tan will present 10cm square, more or less, a site-specific durational activation at a stone tile factory in Sungei Kadut.

Taking place in situ within an industrial site preparing for closure as the land is returned to the state, the activation invites audience participation in making the work together with the artist. Participants will be given a set of instructions written by the artist to guide them in arranging stone fragments found in the factory into a 10cm grid on the factory floor, entering a shared process of placing, spacing, and adjusting.

The Lie of the Land
Artist Focus: John Clang

Clang photographed A Soldier in his early twenties, having conceptualised it shortly after the closure of 5th Passage in 1994. The image reflected his feelings of loss and uncertainty regarding the future at that time. This coming-of-age work was also made around the time he first became aware of same-gender sexuality, prompting in him questions about identity and belonging. A Soldier emerged from these moments of self-discovery, shaped by feelings of disorientation and curiosity, guided by his search for a place within a rapidly changing world.

The Lie of the Land
Artist Focus: Lavender Chang

When studying the genre of family photography, scholar Marianne Hirsch stressed on a need to decipher its coded nature in order to unveil relations to dominant family ideologies and narratives. The family photo is hence a cryptic vault of power, pain, and secrets as much as it is an instrument for displaying cohesion and togetherness.

Drawing upon her personal experiences with the scripts and struggles of familial life, The Movingly Minute Scale of a Restricted Life by Lavender Chang contemplates on the dualism of how indelible hurt every so often resides under the same roof as unconditional love.

Using a pinhole camera positioned on the windows of various family homes, she captures portraits of bean plants she grew and harvested, along with the scenery beyond, through the technique of solargraphy. Left in the sun over days, the camera obscura resembles an incubator in which family relations, symbolized by the bean plants, are literally and figuratively developing in. Yet, it is a black box of the unknown, parallel to how families are often impenetrable to an outsider’s perception and understanding, despite the universality in issues they face.

“While shooting with my Hasselblad SWC in public, strangers who know what they are looking at will give me an approving nod or say ‘That’s cool!’

I got this camera from a friend whom I have a lot of respect for. I love that I can capture my subjects so closely and across the duration of the time I have spent with them in a single frame.”

Happy snappy birthday Lavender Chang Lavender Chang, wishing you a picture-perfect year!
