“the cosmos waits for you”<br />
XI JIE NG<br />
Singapore<br />
galaxyladybird@gmail.com // www.saltythunder.net<br />
Xi Jie works mainly with film, performance, installation and<br />
socially engaged art from the little island metropolis of Singapore.<br />
She leans towards the cosmic, intimate, primal, eccentric, lonely<br />
and commonplace, navigating our relationships with each other,<br />
and that with the universe as a spiritual infinity. At Arteles, she<br />
will continue an ongoing exploration into the modern role of<br />
Clown as it relates to identity and a truth in the world today, with a<br />
series of curious and dark images in the Finnish forest combining<br />
performance and installation.<br />
Her history includes performative-installation/performances<br />
exploring the human relationship with the cosmos (also as<br />
Clown) at the Singapore Arts Festival 2011 and Singapore Night<br />
Festival 2013 (as one half of performing duo Singapierrot,<br />
commissioned by the National Heritage Board), as well as short<br />
films about elderly love and the universe of elderly women (latter<br />
commissioned by the National Arts Council). She has developed<br />
arts programming for seniors at the National Arts Council, co-runs<br />
the Museum of Things I Want to Forget (thingsiwanttoforget.com),<br />
and is currently working on a feature documentary about busking<br />
(singaporeminstrel.com).
