DECK

Join us for an intimate late-night session of sharing and dialogue with visiting curators and artists at Shop–House!

6 Lor 24 Geylang

This programme offers a space for open conversation on artistic research, curatorial thinking, and creative processes—cultivated in a relaxed, alcohol-free environment.Featuring artists Minstrel Kuik and Ryan Lim Zi Yi, alongside curator Miyuki Endo, the session encourages reflective exchange between practitioners and participants, nurturing thoughtful engagement and cross-cultural understanding within contemporary art practice. Introducing our artists and curator: Minstrel Kuik (1976, Malaysia), is a Chinese Malaysian born in Pantai Remis in 1976. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Taiwan, she obtained her master’s degree in photography in Arles, France. While trained primarily in painting and philosophy, her practice today is cantered on the mediums of photography and drawing, with elements of installation. Her awards include the Regional Winner of one-month Fukuoka Asian Art Museum residency (2015); Winner of the UOB Painting of the Year (2014) for the Established Artist Category, Malaysia; Winner of the International Photographer Award (2013), Higashikawa Photo Festival Japan. Kuik is currently the artist in residence with DECK (25/26). Her new presentation will take place in January 2026 at Shop-House during Singapore Art Week 2026. Ryan Lim Zi Yi (b. 1996, Singapore) explores the quiet rhythms of the unspectacular through his installations of images, sculpture, and text. His practice draws from moments and encounters—what lingers in the background of public and private spaces. Working with ordinary materials and subtle gestures, he reconfigures these traces into narratives and forms that feel both familiar and distant, revealing the unnoticed as tender, uncertain, and worth remembering.His recent curatorial projects include Robin (2022-2023), a series of exhibitions presented in camping tents pitched in various locations across Singapore. Currently, he runs a curatorial project titled, BACKYARD, 7-volume subscription-based publication housing artists reports of happenings around Singapore. BACKYARD is an idea for an art space in the form of a folder. Ryan is currently the artist in residence with DECK (25/26) and new work presentation in January 2026 at Shop-House during Singapore Art Week 2026. Miyuki Endo is employed at Tokyo Photographic Art Museum where she has worked as curator in the Moving image section since 2015 and in the Photography section since 2020. She has planned and been in charge of exhibitions including “Takano Ryudai: kasubaba Living through the Ordinary” (2025), “Seeing as though Touching: Contemporary Japanese Photography vol. 19” (2022), and “The Magic Lantern: A Short History of Light and Shadow” (2018). Through a variety of examples, from the early days of photography and moving image to contemporary art, she has been interested in and researched the relationship between photographic images and the supporting platforms of media and devices.
