MONZOOM ZCHOOL was the inaugural programme  by Monzoom.xyz, a platform for emergent art practices that imagines other ways of relating and being together outside existing systems of commodified value. As a series of online gatherings focused on alternative education to share artistic work, as well as ideas and feelings around art-making amidst times of instability, insecurity and change, the programme was made up of 3 sessions, loosely structured with a 45-minute public show-and-tell by invited contributors, followed by a closed-door gathering with participants to chat, discuss, grouse, and mingle.

These gatherings were imagined as the coming together of rain clouds, clouds heavy with too much information, insecurities, tensions, regrets, anxieties - what happens when it pours? Could rain clouds be joyful? Could our respective desires & discontents rumble into a nourishing torrent for collective rejuvenation? Moisture. Humus. Hmmm…

Monzoom Zchool was organised by Weixin Quek Chong and Kenneth Loe under soft/WALL/studs' Beyond Repair program for National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum's Proposals for Novel Ways of Being initiative in 2020.
