Aki Hassan's 'Entangled Attachments' at Yeo Workshop explores interdependence through sculpture and painting

Aki Hassan, a Singaporean artist, is showcasing their debut solo exhibition titled 'Entangled Attachments' at Yeo Workshop in Singapore, which will be open until 18 June. This exhibition features minimalist sculptures crafted from slender steel pipes, finished in white or brown, that are either propped against walls or intertwined. Pieces such as 'Tired Posture,' 'Don't Fall,' and 'Dyke' delve into the relationships between objects. Additionally, Hassan's wooden board paintings utilize muted earth tones and grid patterns reminiscent of comics, hinting at organic shapes. As a trans individual, Hassan subtly addresses themes of trans embodiment. The exhibition stands out among other Singaporean queer artists and draws parallels with early female contemporary artists like Kim Lim and Eng Tow, promoting interdependence while questioning prevalent self-help ideologies.
