For the House; Against the House returns for the Singapore Art Week 2023 with two new motions up for debate. Through a unique debate format where art illustrates the arguments, OH! works with collectors to present selected works from their collections alongside new commissions from Singapore and international artists.

Set to _____ is Dead, the third iteration of the show presents a double bill exploring the mortality of two cherished concepts The Museum is Dead and Desire is Dead conceptualised by Singaporean curators John Tung and Adele Tan respectively. Taking place within Tanglin Shopping Centre – a mall scheduled for enbloc – the exhibitions’ manifestation at the site goes beyond their topics of inquiry, revealing the entanglements between Singapore’s ubiquitous shopping malls and our cultural identity.

In an epoch defined by excesses of time, space, and individuality, we are also barraged with obsolescence and erasure: it must be gone for us to remember; must it die so as to live forever?

For the House; Against the House will take place as part of Singapore Art Week 2023, held from 5 to 15 January 2023.

ABOUT OH! OPEN HOUSE

OH! Open House is an independent arts organisation that tells alternative stories of Singapore through art. Since 2009, we have provided more than 25,000 people with the unique experience of appreciating art and heritage outside of museums and galleries — from strangers’ homes to under-utilised public spaces. We work with artists to present art in unconventional locations, or in surprising new ways. Through our diverse programmes, OH! creates opportunities to understand and connect with the everyday on a more meaningful level.
