ADM GALLERY - UPGRADE - 2010-2012 (link to website)
The ADM Gallery upgrade was a $2m (SGD) renovation of two exhibition spaces at the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The project took two years to complete and brought the spaces up to professional international museological standards that qualified the gallery to borrow valuable works of art from international museum collections. The addition of state-of-the-art A/V and IT equipment in ADM Gallery 2 put the gallery at the forefront for the presentation of interactive and new media programming in Singapore.

Immaterial Frontiers brought together six leading artists from Southeast Asia whose works explored the concept of the 'frontier' and borders, using lo-tech DIY constructions, digital video, sculptural installations and interactive sound works. The artworks installed in ADM Gallery 2 were the first to test the 'black box' new media capabilities of the recently upgraded gallery. Immaterial Frontiers was designated a parallel event of the 2013 Singapore Biennale.

The project was a special opportuntity for the artist to complete Epokhé and Title: Not Specified, two seminal works from the collections of Gallery One One One and the Winnipeg Art Gallery that until this exhibition had never been seen as the artist intended.
