The Unstable InstitutionThe Unstable Institution
The Unstable Institution

Ongoing

The Unstable Institution is an online series of visual and written research fragments that document Shooshie Sulaiman's Fellowship from the curators' point of view. Posted to Samplings, the series draws from the experiences of working closely with Shooshie to consider how we document, archive, and make connections between fragmented ideas and lived experiences. Each post explores a different aspect of Shooshie's mode of working to interrogate ways to build alternative curatorial frameworks centred around process-driven modes of thinking and artmaking.

Lost & Found: Sea Chanty Project

Ongoing

Lost & Found: Sea Chanty Project is the first pillar of Lost & Found, a multi-phased curatorial project by the Singapore Art Museum, exploring the significance of archival documentation and records through artistic practices. By studying how artists collect what seems uncollectable, assemble that which resists assembly, and present that which defies visibility, Lost & Found engages with questions concerning the authoritative voice of archives and history.
