Robert Zhao Renhui is an interdisciplinary Singaporean artist whose work has been exhibited in biennales and institutions around the world. Working in installation, photography, video and sculpture, Zhao explores the complex relationships between nature and culture, with an interdisciplinary approach to constructing layered narratives of the natural world, uncovering the experiences of the beings and objects that constitute the living world and enrich our collective existence.
Haeju Kim is a Senior Curator at SAM who focuses on contemporary art practices in Singapore, Southeast Asia and Asia. Her curatorial approach emphasises the consideration of the body, time and memory as key elements, while also engaging with topics including ecological perspectives, locality and its planetary connection, and questions of coexistence through her research.
