About the Exhibition

Featuring works by Chong Yi Lin, Jerome Kugan, Liew Kwai Fei, Liew Sze Lin, and Mark Tan


Our first show of 2023 is a group exhibition featuring selected works from five Malaysian artists that play with grids and lines, especially those upon found objects. In so doing, their works expand our perception on the ideas of imposed order, offering suggestions of how order can be used as a foundation for play. The show also serves as a reprieve between back-to-back solo exhibitions at the gallery. 

The exhibition’s title is inspired by “Time & Space (A New Refutation Of)”, a track by Brooklyn hip-hop trio Digable Planets. The song’s lyrics are propelled more by rhythm than by meaning, expanding the limits of form into something more poetic. We hope that this show, our first for 2023, also offers inspiration for playing within formal structures, whether they exist as a grid or a year. We look forward to welcoming you back to the gallery again.
