Title: File not found
Description: The title File Not Found refers to the occurrence of system failures in technology and, to a larger extent, foreshadows the unreliable nature of systems that dominate the art world. The Singapore Art Museum has chosen to focus on its local Southeast Asia region and the role of the institution as a site of production, distribution, framing and reception of art, in order to generate self-critique, in the hope of taking new directions and expanding viewpoints regarding its commitment to art. The work consists of a live 'live performance', an object from the public collection, an architectural distillation of a colonised history, and an artists written perspective and elucidation on the relation of art systems and hegemonies to humanity.
