The platform invites curators from these institutions and 10 international biennales, including the Istanbul Biennial and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, to nominate emerging artists at the forefront of their contemporary art scenes.

This exhibition—curated in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore—highlights connections between works by 20 nominated artists alongside works by 5 local artists selected by the ICA Singapore. Presented across the ICA Singapore’s largest galleries, the exhibition explores these artists’ innovative approaches to contemporary ideas, media and aesthetic experience.

The exhibition includes large-scale sculptures by Nicolas Momein (FR) and Nikita Kadan (UA), a special intervention in the galleries’ architecture by Chun Kaifeng (SG), a video projection by Angelica Mesiti (AU), and a film programme dedicated to the work of artist and filmmaker Sherman Ong (SG).
