The practice of Singapore-based artist Heman Chong (b. 1977, Malaysia) is located at the intersection of image, performance, situations and writing. Characterised by acerbic wit, his art address contemporary geopolitics and the infrastructural ironies of our data-driven and networked society. The artist’s work has been the subject of institutional solo exhibitions at Singapore Art Museum; UCCA Dune, Qinhuangdao; STPI, Singapore; Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam; Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai; Swiss Institute, New York; Art in General, New York; Art Sonje Center, Seoul; Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai; South London Gallery; and NUS Museum, Singapore, amongst many others. Chong is the co-director and founder (with Renée Staal) of The Library of Unread Books, a library made up of donated books that were never read by their original owners. It was recently installed in the Serpentine Pavilion 2024, designed by Minsuk Cho.
