Cardboard Lamps & Adequate Images is an exhibition of seven lamps made out of simple materials and techniques, and an accompanying instruction manual on how to build them. The project reflects on various personal experiences of living in Singapore, graduating from art school, getting a job, moving house and more recently, staying home. Amongst other things, it asks what is the point of art, what do we build, and what images do we carry with us into the end of the world?
Exhibition: 21- 29 Nov 2020
Conversation with artist and curator Michael Lee view
Cardboard Lamps & Adequate Images is the eighth project of the exhibition series, [12 Solo] by Comma Space 逗号空间.
