Tomorrow Is An Island, as inland, a sin land is an artist-led exhibition featuring artists Nicole Bachmann (Switzerland), Weixin Quek Chong (Singapore), Monica Ursina Jäger (Switzerland), Jason Wee (Singapore) and writers Damian Christinger (Switzerland) and Marcus Yee (Singapore). Held at the Nanyang Technological University ADM Gallery, it speculates on the future of islands, deep time, the fate of “crisis” as a frame of our predictions and conceptions of future time, and the exchanges between bodies and cities.
We designed the exhibition branding based on how the title itself deploys a sequence of anagrams that re-scrambles with each new phrase, suggesting the ways in which the next moment could retain recognisable components of the present but to disruptive effect. The visual element is also translated to the exhibition design whereby the letter which inspired this conversation from which the exhibition project came about, stretches across the entire length of the space; reaching each and every corner like roots and water bodies embodying an archipelago.
