His exhibitions use the emotive and irreverent quality of art to expose, emphasise or nudge at the pre-existing societal constructs of our time. His curation tends to soften the limitations of the exhibition format in hopes of being able to expand the vocabulary and language of art. Independently, he has curated Bad Imitation (2022) at Tanjong Pajar Distri-park as part of Singapore Art Week, Melting! Melting! (2019) at Gillman Barracks and RAID (2016) at Tiong Bahru Air Raid Shelter. He is also the co-founder and curatorial lead of Stranger(’s) Touch, an ongoing art project in the guise of a retail store that has been active since 2022. He was also Assistant Curator of the non-profit arts organisation OH! Open House from 2019 to 2021. *About Sam I-shanSam I-shan is a curator with an interest in time-based media, photography, and art and politics.
