The Weight Of Water

Curatorial, advisory and artist management business Chan + Hori Contemporary and the Spaceless Gallery present a collaboration that spans Singapore and Paris, a solo exhibition featuring 34 ink-on-paper works by Singaporean artist Speak Cryptic.

The works, which are crafted in carbon ink with a writing instrument made of glass, explore the notion of multiple identities within the evolving self.

Seventeen works will premiere at the exhibition space Bulles en tete in Paris from Nov 18 to Dec 11, while another set of 17 works from the same series will be made available in Singapore through private sales. Collectors can view these works at the artist’s studio by appointment only.

An online exhibition will showcase both sets of works. The Singapore set was launched last Sunday (Nov 7) and the Paris set, along with limited-edition NFT (non-fungible token) designs by the artist, will go live on Nov 18.

Poets Aurece Vettier from France and Jennifer Anne Champion from Singapore will respond to the works through texts that will feature in the online exhibition.

Speak Cryptic will be producing six different NFT works for this exhibition, all of which will be available on the Hic et Nunc marketplace in partnership with decentralised blockchain network Tezos.

Where: Online
Admission: Free; e-mail Chan + Hori Contemporary
