Infiltrate presents a group of seven international artists from Ecuador, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK whose work investigates the networks, structures and spaces of the art 'world'. By inhabiting, translating, rephrasing, reloading or otherwise negotiating the codes and conventions of art and its institutions, these artists invent singular alternative realities.

_____________________________________________

The artists share a certain mock-serious tone as they attempt to straddle insider-outsider positions within specified institutional and cultural morphologies, while seeking to infiltrate,
reactivate and occasionally corrupt or infect existing systems and operations.

Curator Louise Garrett will be in Singapore from 12 - 19 April and is
available for interviews.
