Factory of the Sun
Being shown for the first time in Southeast Asia, immerse yourself in Hito Steyerl’s highly acclaimed video installation, which explores the never-ending flow of information (and misinformation) in today’s digital landscape.
On screen, beside the striking neon blue lights, the distinctions between truth and fiction dissolve in a montage of many different videos, footages and documentation. This alternate reality extends beyond the screen, immersing viewers in a glowing grid that connects the physical gallery to the virtual world of the film.
This retro sci-fi vibe will make you feel like you are in a movie scene!
This art installation was debuted at the 2015 Venice Biennale, one of the world’s biggest international cultural exhibitions. Here in Singapore, you get to visit this top-notch and amusing exhibition!

Lila: Unending Play by Jane Lee
Journey with Jane Lee on her unending quest to discover play and spontaneity in paintings.
The core of Jane Lee’s approach is investigating what painting is and its significance in modern art. Living and working in Southeast Asia, the artist’s experiences and influences have a strong influence on her search for the nature of painting as well as her personal identity.
Her experiments with materials that were motivated by commonplace actions (cutting, washing, etc.), everyday objects (piping bags, syringes, etc.), as well as the characteristics of the fundamental elements of painting (canvas, paint).
The exhibition continues Lee’s exploration of what painting is and could be: as surface, object, body or interplay of spaces and sensations.
About the artist
Jane Lee is best known for her material and conceptual explorations of the practice of painting. Moving beyond the usual painterly gestures and tools, everyday movements and processes are embodied in her works. Many of her paintings seem to be in motion: they fall, unroll, hang or slide.
