Tang Contemporary Art Singapore presents “Web of Being: The Living Network,” a groundbreaking exhibition featuring eight internationally acclaimed artists: Qin Qi, Cai Lei, Xu Hongxiang, Woo Kukwon, Guillermo Lorca, Rodel Tapaya, Jason Martin, and Jonas Hödicke. Opening during Singapore Art Week 2025, this exhibition explores the profound interconnections between human consciousness and the natural world, challenging traditional perspectives on existence and observation.
At its core, “Web of Being” investigates how human experience is fundamentally woven into the fabric of the broader natural world. The exhibition presents works that illuminate the complex networks binding all forms of life—from microscopic organisms to vast ecosystems, from cellular interactions to cosmic phenomena. Through diverse artistic interpretations, these artists reveal how we exist simultaneously as observers and the observed, dissolving conventional boundaries between different forms of consciousness.
The featured artists, each bringing unique cultural and sociopolitical perspectives, transform the gallery into a space where multiple realms of existence converge. Their works create immersive environments that question human-centric worldviews and reveal the hidden threads connecting human creativity with natural phenomena. The exhibition suggests that our existence is part of a larger, living network of relationships and interactions.
By highlighting these interconnections, “Web of Being” challenges viewers to reconsider their place in the universe. The exhibition suggests that human consciousness is not isolated but part of a vast, living network where every entity – human and nonhuman – plays a role in observing and being observed, influencing and being influenced, in an endless dance of mutual existence.
