Sticki (2022)
14 Jan–3 Feb 2022
5.30–12.30am
Underground Pedestrian Link (Basement of Funan connecting to The Adelphi and Capitol Singapore)
Sticki (2022) is a vinyl installation installed along Funan’s Underground Passage Linkway tunnel. It mimics the rise and fall of our emotions as we go through various stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stickers have been an essential part of gatekeeping and labelling during the pandemic, emblematic of the management of the virus in Singapore where the general population is categorised by statistics, numbers and colours. More than a stopgap measure, stickers have served as the official certification to eat, dine, and have fun.
Adar Ng and Dave Lim are an artist duo who have collaborated since 2018 on multiple artistic, curatorial and research projects. Their notable projects include The Spaces Between Us (2021) and ON/OFF/SCREEN 2021, a moving image exhibition. Collectively, their work has been showcased internationally in film festivals and exhibitions such as Cannes Film Festival, Singapore International Film Festival and Athens Digital Arts Festival. The duo are primarily concerned with the visual poetry of daily life, the need to bear witness and challenging social paradigms.
