GROUP EXHIBITION

The exhibition encourages a reflective approach for viewers to ponder upon modernist ideals within a technological age.It further questions the meaning of ‘ideal’ within a contemporary context. The exhibits were created from the early to mid-20th century, embodying modernist aesthetics that align with the progressive spirit of that era—more specifically, the drive for a social utopia through means of social changes and improvements for the well-being of the general public. These ideas are further exemplified through the radical forms of the exhibits, the utilisation of the simplistic materials, and standardisation in production. Meanwhile, the exhibiting artworks reference modern idealism as a point of departure for social critique, addressing post-modern concerns such as cultural identity, race, and related discourse.
