Darkened Rooms | Charmaine Toh, Janice Loo, Mintio & Sean Lee

  • Summary

  • Photography has been seen on the walls of the art museum since the 1930s. However, since then, questions have continued to be raised as to what sort of photography and whose photography should be collected and displayed? The role of photography within an art museum is often complicated by its varied, multiple roles in daily life – its non-art functions, which have caused confusion, arguments and schisms. Artists Sean Lee, Mintio, and librarian Janice Loo revisit this medium with respect to a museum’s role in society. This discussion was moderated by Gallery Senior Curator Charmaine Toh.

    This panel discussion took place at National Gallery Singapore on 16 Oct 2022, as part of October Gathering.
