Comma Space is a Singapore-based artist-run experimental space. It was founded in 2020 by Wang Ruobing and Sai, also known as Chen Sai Hua Kuan, with the intention of nurturing contemporary arts practice by providing the opportunities and infrastructure necessary for artists, curators, and researchers to experiment, and contribute to the arts scene in Singapore.
History
editOrigins
editLocated at 51 Jalan Pemimpin, its name was inspired by the comma, a punctuation mark that separates and expresses contrast. Similarly, the space hopes to function as a hub of creativity and critical discourse. It aims to connect individuals of diverse backgrounds and engage with local communities.
Wang had studied in the UK, obtaining a Master of Arts in Geography and Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Art. She was motivated to open her own arts space after visiting many independent art spaces which had impressed her.
Exhibitions
editFunded by the duo, the space opened its doors in early 2020 with the curatorial series 12 Solo, which invited 12 artists to create a single work and present it as a solo show every month. Wang’s intention was to invite artists from diverse backgrounds. Among the 12 artists were Sai, Michael Lee and Jonathan MF. However, the covid-19 pandemic interrupted the exhibition, and the space closed at the end of March.
Since then, the space has held 10 more exhibitions, the latest being In Broad Daylight, I Do by Tang Da Wu.
