The Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) presents 《The Living Room》 at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) through July 19, 2026. The exhibition is co-organized by SeMA, SAM, and the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).

This exhibition marks the final chapter of a collection-based collaborative project initiated in 2023 by the three institutions. It follows 《The Part In The Story Where Our Accumulating Dust Becomes A Mountain》 (December 7, 2023 – March 3, 2024), which was held at the Seoul Museum of Art. Each institution in the collaboration has independently curated and presented an exhibition utilizing works from their respective collections.

Curated by the Singapore Art Museum, 《The Living Room》 explores how museums collect, care for, and re-present the “afterlife” of performance. Centered around the question, “What happens after a performance ends?”, the exhibition investigates the forms of memory and trace that can be shared and sustained.

During the exhibition period, certain works will be “activated” without prior notice, allowing visitors to directly experience the ways in which the exhibition transforms and expands over time.

During the opening week in September, the program featured live performances by Brian Fuata and a re-enactment of Ezzam Rahman’s performance—both of whom were also introduced in the 2023 exhibition at the Seoul Museum of Art—along with a curators’ talk.
In conjunction with Singapore Art Week 2026, performances by artists Kim Ga Ram and Nam Hwayeon are scheduled to take place.

Further details about the exhibition will be available on the Singapore Art Museum’s official website (https://www.singaporeartmuseum.sg/) and social media channels.

Participating Artists: Chia Chuyia, Brian Fuata, Jeremy Hiah, Tehching Hsieh, Kim Ga Ram, Lee Kun-yong, Nam Hwayeon, Ezzam Rahman, Rim Dong-sik, Wong Hoy Cheong
