Chan Hampe Galleries has partnered with art critic and curator Gillian Nelson and asked six Singapore-based artists to participate in a project designed to ditch comfort and security in favour of experimentation and play.

The group, composed of Patrick Storey, Lynn Lu, Andy Yang, Rajinder Singh, Helene Carpenter and August Carpenter, represent a diverse set of interests, experiences and approaches to their artworks, with interests converging and diverging along some erratic pathways. Paired into three collaborative groups they have been asked to create something entirely new, based on a discussion between each other, where their influences and philosophies are shared and considered.

The title of the show, Interchange, relates to this exchange and sharing of ideas, and also somewhat to the cultural exchange that is continually happening throughout Singapore and Southeast Asia. Each new encounter moves us from our comfort zone towards something a little different and exciting.
