Transient Tribe Residency:
Habit (2024)
Transient Tribe (Jan-Feb 2024) performance-based residency at GRID, Singapore. A mixture of video, installation and performance, Habit ruminates on the position of art and the artist (cf. Bruce Nauman) in a space such as GRID, in an empty lot of a shopping mall that found security guards on patrol, air-conditioning a controlled resource, and the need to proclaim progress as "Work" to protect them from being touched or meddled with.
The breaking point was a broken window.
