[Exhibition Opening]Yeo Shih Yun: Diaries, Marking Time and Other PreoccupationsThursday, 30 August 20187pmNUS MuseumGuest-of-HonorProfessor Bernard YeungDeanNUS Business School and Stephen Riady Distinguished ProfessorDiaries, Marking Time and Other Preoccupations features paintings, video works and installations by Yeo Shih Yun whose practice is associated with Chinese ink, a medium with its own unique history. Yeo’s varied experimentation situate the medium in the fold of contemporary practice. In her works of art, the element of chance – markings rendered by brushes tied to tree branches or battery operated toy robots – is introduced and eventually transferred and recomposed on a final surface through the use of silkscreens or other print techniques. For this exhibition, the studio presents itself as a site of appropriative potential. At the centre of this new project is Yeo’s fascination with the marks discovered on a piece of cloth and on the studio floor – the accidental drips, blotches and stains are mobilised as compositions transpiring from labour and chance.Opening programme includes a performance by Performing and Visual Arts scholars Ranice Tay and Amanda Cheong.About the artistYeo Shih Yun graduated from National University of Singapore with a Bachelor degree in Business Administration.
