Imagining communities! LKY! Boleh! Whale!
This post is quite belated, but I’ve been meaning to talk about a number of exhibitions I’ve caught that interestingly enough work around the idea of narratives and (imagined) communities: Valentine Willie Fine Art Singapore’s Beyond LKY, Evil Empire’s Negaraku Boleh! and Zhao Renhui’s The Whiteness of a Whale at 2902 Gallery. The discourses of the first two, of course, are somewhat linked while the latter is the artist’s most recent (most cohesive and consistent) foray into meta-fictive photography.
