Turning Points Turning Points chronicles the defining moments within the artistic practice of three artists with disabilities – Deaf photographer Isabelle Lim, mixed media artist with Down syndrome Fern Wong, and autistic artist Kenneth Lee. Organised by ART:DIS and curated by John Tung as part of Singapore Art Week 2024, the exhibition highlights a pivotal moment of change within their practices, marking the moment of critical development in their output. Beyond serving as a testimony to their commitment and adaptability in the face of personal and professional challenges, the artworks within the presentation convey a shared narrative of persistence, introspection, and growth.
FACTORY was engaged to design the exhibition and its marketing collaterals. Considering the narrative of the show, we designed a logo that symbolises metamorphosis through the motif of a rotating canvas. Paired with an elegant and accessible typographic system that prioritises readability, it conveys both the gravity of the moments showcased and the resilience of the artists. A sophisticated and nuanced colour palette was also selected that reflects the themes of introspection, growth, transformation and the diversity of experiences and artistic practices within the exhibition.
