Ghost on the Wire #2

Eighteen artists from Singapore and the United Kingdom will be shown at Ghost on the Wire #2, curated by UK-based curatorial partnership, DEM Projects (Gavin Maughfling and Suzanne De Emmony). The show runs from 18 August to 4 September 2016 at the Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film in Singapore. It builds on DEM Projects’ earlier successful exhibition at the Bermondsey Project Space in London in 2014, and introduces many of the works first seen in London to Singapore, alongside new works created especially for the Singapore show, as well as pieces by artists not previously shown in Bermondsey.

The exhibition’s theme is mediated communication. The title borrows from philosopher Gilbert Ryle description of the mind as ‘the Ghost in the Machine.’ The ‘wire’ can be seen as channels of communication such as the human voice, a telephone cable, Skype, text, or email. The ‘ghost’ might take many forms: the misunderstanding of a word or a look, an error in translation, a technical glitch, interference in transmission, or the barriers created by time and loss. The exhibition look at ways in which communication through different channels aid and fail us, in addition to asking wider questions about the ways in which we communicate. It takes in a rich range of art forms, from sound to painting, from film to 3-D printing and from digital photography to kinetic sculpture and interactive installation.

The opening event will feature two performance works. The first, Still Lives by Daniel Kok, is a durational performance which looks at the precariousness of bodies when bound by rope, while the second, a dramatised reading by Tania de Rozario and Lynn Lu titled Fuse II, examines ideas of technology in relation to personal histories.
