The Museum is Dead


History is speckled with museums as one of the key repositories of material culture, However, in an age increasingly defined by digitalisation and calls for decentralisation, perhaps the time is nigh to abandon our acknowledgment of the museum’s monolithic centrality in defining the historicity of events and activities in human existence, so as to approach a more pluralistic understanding of our histories.

The exhibition and its works debated over the value of artworks and purpose of museums in today’s context. Watch the short video HERE to hear about the curator John Tung’s take and inspiration behind this.

Marking Matters?, 2022



A leading figure of contemporary art in Thailand, artist and activist Mit sources inspiration from the communal and aesthetic aspects of being raised in rural Thailand under Thai monarchy. A suite of 32 Papier-mâché sculptures mirroring the forms of objects such as home ornaments, stools, and lamps have been finished in his iconic colourways. Titled Marking Matters?, the assortment of sculptures make reference to bai sema: boundary stones used to demarcate the ordination halls of Thai Buddhist temples.
