How to read the paper

Bovey LEE, Grace TAN, Wyn-Lyn TAN and Ian WOO
01 - 27 September 2020

Viewing an artwork is analogous to reading the proverbial paper. We scan first for interesting features, then focus in on the details. We look at accompanying images and captions. We try to understand the context, read between the lines. And finally we form our own opinion.

How To Read the Paper is our inaugural online exhibition in a series showcasing a selection of paper-based artworks.
