FOST Gallery is thrilled to announce the second edition of 1 x 1 x 1 with works by another seven artists, each work being no larger than one metre in any dimension. This second edition features an even greater variety of mediums, like cast plaster, glass, lacquer, painting, photography, print and textiles.

Several artists deal with the monumental in miniature. Jan Balquin’s Token Walls, small-scale cast plaster sculptures of fortress wall sections recall the constructions of cities. Meanwhile, the imagery printed on glass blocks of Donna Ong’s An Uncommon Forest interweaves female botanical scientists with images of Southeast Asian flora and fauna.

Artists like Lavender Chang, Adeline Kueh and Phi Phi Oanh celebrate the ordinary in their works. Chang’s series A Dissection Of…… captures the individual components of favourite hawker dishes with handwritten reflections from people she had interviewed. Kueh’s installation of Swiss voile rosettes (The Sun, The Moon and The Earth) and embroideries (Forgetting and Remembering series) challenge us to reconsider the relationship we have with the rituals around us. Oanh references the photos in her own smartphone camera reel, recreating them with Vietnamese lacquer (Pro Se series).
