About
Residency Overview
Anthony Chin will conduct a residency dedicated to research into the ramifications of Singapore's colonial past and the historical narratives of power structures and their geopolitical reverberations onto the present.
Focus & Research
The artist will research the history of Gillman Barracks—where the Residencies Studios are located—as the site of the last battle before Singapore was surrendered to the Japanese. Following the Fall of Singapore (1942), the Imperial Japanese Army established OKA 9420, a research centre where experiments on Bubonic plague pathogens were conducted. The research will address lesser-known histories and growing awareness of pathogens due to global events such as the recent pandemic, seeking to develop understanding of pathogens while unpacking ethical concerns surrounding rapid advancements in science and technology.
Research Approach
The research process will encompass both primary and secondary sources and aims to grow through connections and collaborations with historians, researchers, and scientists to lay the foundations for a long-term artistic project addressing the impact of biochemical weapons on society.
