The experience of existing amidst perpetual renewal
Exhibition Overview
The Construction in Every Corner exhibition presented by the NTU Museum opens its doors to the public till 17 April 2025. Delving into the often-overlooked world of urban construction, the exhibition features three sets of NTU-trained artists – Marvin Tang, Debbie Ding, and siblings Sarah and Mathias Choo – who examined the experience of existing amidst perpetual construction through their unique artistic perspectives.
Visitors will experience photography, video installations, virtual reality, and multimedia works that explore themes of liminal spaces, human connection, and the representation of nature in a city constantly renewing itself. The exhibition invites audiences to look beyond the noise and dust of construction sites and discover the hidden stories, untold narratives, and transformative potential of these transitional spaces.
Thought-provoking experience for all during the March school holidays
The exhibition offers a thought-provoking experience for all visitors, including families looking to explore artistic perspectives on urban transformation. The upcoming school holidays from 15 to 23 March 2025 present a meaningful opportunity for students and families to engage with contemporary art and discover new ways of seeing their surroundings.
