Heman Chong: This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness

A key artist in Singapore’s art history, Heman Chong’s multi-faceted practice dates back to the early 2000s. This publication accompanies a survey exhibition of the same name, which presents recent artworks including new commissions that reconsider canonical pieces from his oeuvre. Known for his acerbic wit, Chong’s art addresses contemporary geopolitics and the infrastructural ironies of our data-driven and networked society. Heman Chong: This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness surveys the artist’s practice, with essays by international curators who have collaborated with him throughout his career.
