MENDING FENCE

`Mending Fence: Tales form an Isolation’, an exhibition featuring artworks that respond to the lives in isolation during this ongoing pandemic. The current global rampant attack of the COVID-19 virus has pushed governments and local authorities to enforce the partial lock-down or Movement Control Order that applies a social distancing approach in order to break the chain network of the virus. Social distancing also in some ways can affect artists’ art-making. Despite the physical limitation, movements might be restricted but ideas, are always beyond the tangibles. Therefore, this exhibition is an attempt to display the reactions from artists on how they are responding towards the current situation, as historical documentation, the adversity that is to be remembered in the form of artworks.

There are 30 participating artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, and Thailand joining this exhibition. `Mending Fence: Tales form an Isolation’ runs from 3  – 30 April 2020, which can be viewed in G13’s Online Viewing Room on website: https://g13gallery.com/viewingroom/
