Synopsis
This exhibition, curated from the private collection of John Chia and Cheryl Loh, embarks on a critical examination of the human condition. The title, ‘Human Being Human’, draws inspiration from Keith Haring's iconic "Radiant Baby," serving as a conceptual framework to explore the inherent potential for purity and goodness.
We are compelled to consider a fundamental question: does our departure from an ideal, original state of "being" necessitate a flawed existence? This exhibition investigates the catalysts for this divergence, probing at the core of human identity.
The artists in this collection confront these complexities, navigating the intricate relationship between the self and others. Their work functions as a means to perceive, reconfigure, and propose a new understanding of reality, ultimately shaping how we define ourselves and our place within the modern world. They challenge us to consider how our individual identity is both a fixed point of self-definition and a fluid, evolving narrative.
