Taking place during the opening week of the Singapore Biennale 2025 (SB2025) this October, artists Cui Jie and Ayesha Singh will join TAF Artistic Director Xiaoyu Weng in conversation. Working with different mediums, both artists’ practice examines the materiality of architecture and space, making visible the power structures and political histories embedded in the built environment and urban infrastructure – as they relate to TAF’s 2025 research theme of Materiality.
Through spatial interventions that offer heterogeneous perspectives and layered viewpoints, their works invite viewers to reflect on complex relationships such as displacement, collective memory, and nation-building. During the talk, both artists will share several past projects and their works in the Biennale.
[About TAF Conversation Series]
Developed to manifest the foundation’s process-based and research-driven programming, TAF Conversation Series engages artists and their collaborators to respond, reflect, and shape TAF’s research concerns. Intently blurring the line between the work-in-progress and its finished form, TAF Conversation Series highlights the process and flux of artistic practice, where transformation is constant. The focus for our 2025/2026 programmes will be Materiality.
