31 May – 29 June 2025
In her largest solo exhibition to date—and the first to bring together multiple bodies of work—Genevieve Leong inhabits the space of indecision, embracing its ambiguities, precarities, and fluctuations as points of departure.
With approaches refined over more than a decade of artmaking, she translates the immaterial into installations comprising found objects, handmade forms, and occasionally text. Using strategies of tension and balance, each work offers an intimate exploration of the nuances of uncertainty.
Here, the delicate position of being “on the fence” is not born of weakness or apathy. Instead, it is a deliberate choice to pause and linger; to sit with rather than take a stand. The inconclusive thus becomes a place of potential, where the absence of resolve leaves room for a poetics of hesitation.
