News of floods, fires, and storms elsewhere scrolls past in real time, absorbed between meetings and meals.

Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel

In Singapore, childhood discipline occupies a peculiar and uneasy place in collective memory. Rooted in the belief that hardship cultivates virtue, physical discipline was long distinguished from punishment. It was framed as care, as moral instruction, as a necessary measure for shaping obedience and respectability. Yet for those who experienced it, the body remembers pain before it remembers reason. In their new exhibition, artists Yanyun … Continue reading Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel
