Annual Review 2016

TIME OF OTHERS 11 JUNE – 18 SEPTEMBER 2016 GALLERY OF MODERN ART ‘Time of others’ brought together new works and holdings from the collections of four leading contemporary art institutions in the Asia Pacific region — the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, National Museum of Art, Osaka, the Singapore Art Museum, and QAGOMA. A curatorial collaboration, the exhibition’s diverse works revealed multiple perspectives, looking at how differences can be used as tools for reflection, rather than melting into artificial unity.
