INTERVIEW WITH CHOK SI XUAN:
WHAT THE STARS ARE TELLING US

“It’s sort of like an unseen force,” Chok began. “I was interested in the dynamics at play, but I was uncertain of how to translate this into a physical form.” 

I nodded in agreement. Chok Si Xuan was giving me a run-down of her time at the sand dunes of Phan Thiết in Mũi Né Vietnam, an adventure for inspiration that was made possible with the Travelogue Award. As we continued to talk, Chok went into further detail about her proposal for her practice in 3D printing, and her passion for what she fondly refers to as 'technical things'.

IN CONVERSATION WITH LIM CHARLOTTE: ALL IS VAIN, AND IN VAIN

In Vain In Vanity, the title of Lim Charlotte’s first solo exhibition that ran from 10 August to 7 September 2018 at UltraSuperNew Gallery, is a phrase that she coined when she was just 14. 'All is vain and in vain' was something that she observed about life at that time, and is still something she believes about inter-relationships and the human condition today—how the performativity of vanity is inherent in all that mankind engages in, and how everything can be perceived as vain pursuits.
