Desire is Dead
Through a playful juxtaposition of artworks, the exhibition seeked to tease out the erotic presences, complexities, and potentialities in Singapore’s midst, where a plenitude of desire surrounds us every day and everywhere, shaping the way we view the world and ourselves.
The exhibition was configured such that it is as much a visual showcase as it is a spatial exercise enacted bodily through artworks that engages audiences sensorially or require audience interaction. Watch a short video HERE to hear about the curator Adele Tan’s take and inspiration behind this.

Inez is known for the use of abject materials and silicone to create life-like grotesque bodily forms. Through performance art and sculpture, she responds to issues surrounding the female body and mental health from the lens of her personal experiences. Her works evoke the feeling of disgust as a means to challenge the social constructs set in place surrounding these suppressed topics.
