(he/him) is a moniker of Singaporean artists Chand Chandramohan and Divaagar. His practice dissects art, culture and art culture through performance, image, video and powerpoint presentations. Institutional critique is framed within absurdist, perhaps parodical scenarios, where his performances examine trends, ongoings and scandals within the arts in Singapore through humour and satire—or at least he’d like to think so. Both artists graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts and have performed for esteemed art spaces, Coda Culture (2018) and The Substation (2020, but on the internet).
is a multidisciplinary artist from Singapore. Keen on ideas of performity within frames, her two most worked disciplines of performance art and collage intersect within notions of satire, marginalisation and social commentary. She is part of joke artist groups such as desigirl69, horizontal denglong and many more to come.
She graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts with a Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts in 2014 and has exhibited both locally and internationally since 2010. Notable shows include a solo presentation in Hue, Vietnam, performances with Chicks on Speed at Art Science Museum (Singapore), The Rejected Proposals Showcase, Coda Culture (Singapore), The Lands Of, The Reef (Los Angeles), An Actual MAMA Shop as part of The Substation’s SAD Bar. She also organised Performance Art Resource Orchestrator (PARO) with Yuzuru Maeda in 2018, as well as curatorial efforts in both Singapore and Bangkok, including From Your Eyes to Ours at Coda Culture as the first art event to feature all contemporary South Asian artists.
is a visual artist whose practice explores the relationships between desires and spaces through installation, performance and digital media. He works at the intersections of bodies, identities and environments, proposing alternative economies and ecologies through engaging with localities, methods of display and re-routing gazes.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (1st Class Honours) in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2018 and has exhibited both locally and internationally since 2010. He has had two solo presentations thus far: Between a rock and a hard place, as part of a Summer residency in Untitled Space (Shanghai) and The Soul Lounge, soft/WALL/studs (Singapore). Other notable exhibitions include Time Passes, Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), The Lands Of, The Reef (Los Angeles), and Space Oddities, The Substation (Singapore).
is an alliance of people whose goal is to provide visibility for under-represented or emerging creatives across all vectors of political, social, and creative interests. They aspire to find commonality and collective foresight through nuanced and intense forms of art making; one that hopefully occupies a more generous spirit of collaboration, creativity, networking, and solidarity-making.
Recent happenings include KNNBC_CB Party—an IMVU rave, PrayPal—a curatorial and exhibition project at I_S_L_A_N_D_S, Nü—a performance series at Gillman Barracks and PURE EVER—an exhibition at Y2Arts Gallery. They are currently working on a soft speculative sci-fi archipelagic film that centres around the heartbreaks of three plurilocular lovers.
is a multi-disciplinary artist who shifts between drawing, printed matter, sculpture and installation. They are invested in how forms, materials and objects encounter one another in both concrete and metaphorical terms, and how personalities are revealed in the process, surfacing paradoxes and unexpected details. This feeds into a curatorial interest in arranging them in a space, in this way exploring their interrelations. They see the process of making as a tool, to reflect on their support systems, to locate strength, shifts and imbalances in exchange.
Aki Hassan has taken part in both local and international exhibitions, such as An Exercise of Meaning in A Glitch Season (National Gallery Singapore, 2020), Pig Rock Bothy Residency & Exhibition (Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, 2019) and SCOUT: Emerging Art Practice, Singapore (Gillman Barracks, 2015). They are a co-founder of a small distro-press, known as Power Couple Press, which primarily works with comic, zine and illustration artists based in both Glasgow and Singapore (powercouple.press). Through this, they have been platformed at various book & art festivals across the UK, such as Glasgow Zine Fair (GZF), East London Comic Art Festival (ELCAF) and Edinburgh Comic Art Festival (ECAF).
(Nadirah Khalid & Mengju Lin) was born because they got sick of being told what they can or cannot do. They believe in autonomy, punk, intersectionality and fun. While they organise gatherings and parties from time to time, they don't see ourselves as organisers, but people who spread the word from one grrrl to another: you, too, can start your own riot grrrl chapter!
Nadhirah Khalid is an aspiring creative whose practice addresses gender issues pertaining to body and identity politics . Enamoured with the morbid, monstrous and the macabre, she draws from horror cinema and the female abject to examine these themes within a social and cultural context. Currently, she is deeply interested in experimenting with film as a medium — intent on subverting such a male-dominated medium with its omnipresent ‘Male Gaze’ — as one that contests for a self-authored re-inscription of the female, brown and queer body.
Mengju's artistic practice revolves around the agency of non-human things - especially images, sound, text and objects - and how they protest. Her current research involves punk ideology and guerrilla metaphysics. She is a co-conspirator of @radioriotgrrrl with Nadhirah Khalid, and she plays in a band called Terrapin with artists Jeremy Sharma and Lai Yu Tong.
is a self-taught artist who works primarily with the medium of photography. His practice explores the various notions premised around visual languages and aesthetics of the mundane and banal. Confronting traumas as a form of therapy, he also cites references from his personal lived experiences as points of departure in developing his works.
