The Private Museum presents an exhibition by Singaporean artist, Ye Shufang, following the success of her previous exhibition, The Happiness Index, here in 2011. Shufang has created a series of new watercolour drawings and she will also re-present her internationally renowned agar-agar installations for the last time.
With an on going research focus on the ephermeral and the "ready-made" from her 17 years of art practise, Shufang's current series of drawings are an attempt to measure, categorize and understand a miscellany of vast infinite items, from baking moulds to emotions, classified in a system using grids, circles and colour spectrums. In her past artworks, the study of and the attempt to measure and record the impermanent are manifested in installations that adopt basic processes, ephermal materials and ready-mades. Aside from the 2 new presentations of her past agar-agar installations, Shufang will also be showing an agar-agar and leather strips installaton for the first time.
