Whose Game Is It?
Involving artists and curators from different cultural backgrounds, Whose Game Is It? is an exhibition that inquires into the socio-political issues in our current world with ambitions to hint at future possiblities. Under globalisation in our present time we are becoming more aware of disparities and hegemonies around us. These invisible forces have been named through the 'isms' of history. Through contemporary art, this exhibition aims to ask how to identify, critique, and manage this situation, and avoid it leading us by the nose?
Through works by international artists, the exhibition engages the audience through games and playful encounters that ask pertinent questions about how we live today. The participating artists include: Dan Perjovschi (Romania), Lia Perjovschi (Romania), Raqs Media Collective (India), Tintin Wulia (Indonesia/ Australia), Lee Wen (Singapore) and Han Ishu (China/ Japan).

Yingting Xie is a Chinese curator with over three years’ professional experience working internationally. Her practice not only explores questions of how to maintain a sustainable relationship between public, institution and art, but also focus on the issues of curating in the context of globalisation. In her new role at the Museum of Contemporary Art & Planning Exhibition, Shenzhen, China, she will explore how artistic methods are employed in exhibition and display culture. Through this, in the arena of contemporary art, she addresses the theme of public, value, politics and spaces in specific locations.
