Excerpt of artwork description:

 

Portable Studio (2025) is an installative sculpture consisting of multiple actions, objects and assemblages mounted on a shelf. Each object is either a finished assemblage, a work-in-progress or the starting point of a new idea, all levelled on the same plane – reflecting a similar function of an artist studio, where experiments as well as finished work are simultaneously created. The artwork functions as a sculpture, and doubles up as a ‘live’ open studio during the course of the exhibition, activating the portable studio.

​

The portable studio activations took place on three Saturdays during the exhibition. Viewers observed into the day-to-day life of the artist through her materiality and works-in-progress, had conversation with the artist, spent time reading the artist’s research materials or were involved in the creation of artworks. The first portable studio activation was hosted in collaboration with artist Huijun Lu, who was also part of the group exhibition. Resolved assemblages would then ‘graduate’ from the studio to be exhibited in the gallery. Over time, the gallery saw itself changing, with more and more assemblages exhibited in the space.
