Hope you are keeping well!

Hope you are keeping well! reflects on the impact of Singapore’s national productivity agenda on artistic labour. Comprising an exhibition and a series of informal gatherings, the project approaches curatorial work of care as a means of revealing and understanding the often-invisible labours of artistic production. Transforming Objectif’s Chapel Gallery into a shared, psychological artists’ studio, the exhibition synthesises four propositions on care by artists Hu Rui, Genevieve Leong, Huijun Lu, and Arabelle Zhuang. The informal gatherings aim to broaden and deepen the discourse, probing the values encoded in our words and actions. Featuring programmes such as a dialogue with artist Ezzam Rahman and participatory workshops, these gatherings create a space to imagine how we might journey together sustainably, thriving within—and beyond—Singapore’s pursuit of excellence.
