An Index of Kindness: An Experimental Art Project by Ruark Lewis and Jonathan Jones

Dear friend,

Do join us for An Index of Kindness: An Experimental Art Project by Ruark Lewis and Jonathan Jones

Australian artists Ruark Lewis and Jonathan Jones have been here in Singapore since early September. They are here as part of Run Artists Run, an Asialink artist exchange programme, between p-10 and 1/2doz in Sydney. During their time in Singapore, they will work on transcribing the events and objects they observe here to develop a series of site-specific installations and performances that considers the importance of language.

Do join us for the Opening Reception of An Index of Kindness at 7.30pm on 25 Sep (Tue) in Show Room, Post-Museum.
