Moses Tan: Open Studio & Photo Booth

Bring your favourite houseplant to PICA and participate in Singaporean-based artist Moses Tan’s houseplant photo booth.

Learn more about Tan’s interest in botany, sculpture and queer community-building as he discusses his practice with queer academic and activist Duc Dau. As part of PICA’s Asia Pacific Exchange Program, get a sneak peek at Tan’s new experimental, work-in-progress sculpture series inspired by various botanical and bodily forms. His experiments consider how everyday objects like houseplants are objects of care and consideration.
