Part of the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery in the 2025 Arts Festival
- The exhibition 25x25 spotlights a new wave of student creativity, featuring visual and literary responses to 25 works from the SMU Art Collection. Curated in collaboration with SMU Libraries, it invites cross-medium dialogue and fresh interpretations of the themes explored in the original artworks. Under the mentorship of artists Deanna Ng and Susie Wong, and poet Yong Shu Hoong, each student artist develops their own method and perspective, whether responding directly to the theme and subject of the artwork, or drawing parallel threads to their personal biographies and lived experiences. The exhibition was on view from 22 Aug 2025 to 6 Sep 2025 at SMU de Suantio Gallery.
Putting things into my head : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
- This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Janice Loke for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a poetry inspired by Bill Woodrow's sculpture "Sitting on History I" (2003). "I initially thought the ball-and-chain shackling a book in Bill Woodrow’s Sitting on History I (2003) made a mockery of Singapore’s stressful education system where students feel trapped and have nowhere to go. However, the artist’s notes gave me a new perspective. It’s not so much the artwork, but rather, the perspective of the viewer that makes interpreting art so dynamic. While writing this piece, I named it “Uncultured Swines” originally as I placed myself in my persona’s shoes. Here, my persona is from a rural village where patriarchy and misogyny are prevalent. Her guile and her thirst for education makes her an outcast as she doesn’t fit into their vision for girls. With my anger towards such unfairness happening in the real world even till now, I had decided to use that insult as the title. It was after discussing with my mentor that I realised I’ve unironically fallen into the trap of literally restraining myself to my persona’s viewpoint, just like the ball-and-chain imagery of the sculpture. Hence, I decided to try for a more neutral approach and ended up choosing Putting things into my head as the final title. Additionally, I believe this decision adds depth to my persona’s character as she flits around her new findings and propriety." - Janice Loke, Year 3, School of Accountancy
Movement and Memory : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
- This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Mack Rei for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a poetry inspired by Aung Ko’s artwork "We Are Moving" (2013) and Ba Khine's "Living in Harmony (Temples)" (2014). "Movement and Memory is a poetry cycle inspired by two paintings from Myanmar: Aung Ko’s We Are Moving (2013) and Ba Khine’s Living in Harmony (2014). Both artworks highlight collective movement, but from opposing directions; one being born of fear, and the other grounded in ritual. I began to ponder what it means to move together when you are running from something, or walking toward something sacred. My initial response came in bits of poetry. Some pieces include voices from philosophy and history, with fragments of Locke, Benjamin, and Bashō echoing how memory is layered and incomplete. Others lean into rhythm and breath, reflecting the quiet continuity in Ba Khine’s work. The poems gradually came together as a cycle. They can be read on their own or in pairs, unfolding across moments of tension and rest. The pieces responding to Aung Ko’s painting are tighter and more fragmented, mirroring the urgency of the scene. Those written in response to Ba Khine’s are more spacious, carried by a different kind of weight. Both works raise questions about how people gather, how they endure, and what kind of road is left behind when memory carries both trauma and tradition." - Mack Rei, Year 4, Lee Kong Chian School of Business
