about

Isles Institute is a collaborative, interdisciplinary exhibition on Singapore's Southern Islands — Kusu, St John's and Lazarus. Six artists work across sensing, fieldwork and material translation, treating data as more than information: through making, it becomes poetic, material, sonic and spatial.

The artists approach the islands with the curiosity of explorers and the discipline of fieldworkers — probing, recording, returning, and translating what they find into light, sound and matter.
