Get matched →Yanyun Chen is pursuing research into intergenerational conflicts and trauma, examining methods of discipline within the family context with a focus on Singaporean personal and communal childhood histories of discipline and punishment. The artist will explore how the indelible traces of disciplinary behaviour linger in people's bodies and minds and bleed into the everyday, observing the irony and self-deprecating humour that come into play as a self-soothing practice in the retelling of such memories.
The artist will seek to unpack the heterogeneous ways in which pain and violence are remembered by conducting fieldwork, literary investigations, and interviews. The research weaves through histories of punishment and discipline in Singapore.
The artist intends to create large scale drawings that address these intergenerational wounds through the lens of medical, ethnographic, historical, and material studies.
