Heman Chong’s work 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.
