Inter/Act is a collaborative, cross-border contemporary art exhibition featuring 16 artists from Indonesia and Singapore. The exhibition runs from 7–22 March 2026 at Telok Kurau Studios Gallery, Singapore, before continuing to its second chapter in Yogyakarta in June 2026.
Exploring Southeast Asian identity and culture through painting, installation, and mixed media, Inter/Act becomes a meeting point—of gestures, voices, histories, and ways of seeing. Bringing together artists from Indonesia and Singapore, the exhibition unfolds as a living conversation. Each work invites viewers to pause, respond, and connect.
Across borders and perspectives, Inter/Act traces the subtle yet powerful spaces between self and other, artist and audience, expression and reflection.
Organised by Modern Art Society Singapore and Kotak: Art Collective, this curated group exhibition creates a shared space for artistic exchange. Through diverse practices and approaches, the participating artists reveal how contemporary art can hold difference in harmony—transforming encounters into dialogue, and dialogue into shared experience.
More than an exhibition, Inter/Act is a crossing of paths—one that continues beyond the gallery, carrying its echoes from Singapore to Yogyakarta.
Featured Artists
Dadi Setiyadi reinterprets traditional iconography through a contemporary lens. His practice reworks cultural symbols, remixing heritage into bold and unexpected visual languages.
Budi Ubrux transforms newspapers into layered, illusionistic compositions that explore socio-political tensions and media saturation. His intricate surfaces blur the line between fact and perception, revealing the fragility of the narratives we consume daily.
Agapetus Kristiandana employs surreal animal allegories to reflect on the human condition. His imagery—both humorous and pointed—captures social contradictions with subtle irony.
Yeo Shih Yun is known for her performative ink practice, where gesture and movement shape abstraction. Her work becomes an embodied dialogue between brush, body, and surface.
Yeo Siak Goon creates luminous fields of colour that evoke tropical atmospheres and emotional landscapes. A significant voice within Singapore’s modernist tradition, his work reflects a profound engagement with abstraction and light.
Leo Hee Tong merges Nanyang influences with Western abstraction and cubist structures. His textured compositions often feature pigeons and snow-like whites—symbols of memory, serenity, and peace.
Ezzam Rahman presents body-led, autobiographical installations that explore impermanence and trace. Using unconventional materials, his works investigate identity, transformation, and the passage of time.
Luddy Astaghis draws from everyday bakulan (market) life to create playful yet satirical visual narratives. Combining painting with staged mixed-media figures, his works pulse with humour and social commentary.
