Jack Tan: How to do things with rules
For his first major solo exhibition, London-based artist Jack Tan (b. 1971, Singapore) repurposes the gallery into a platform for social, legal and artistic activity. These activities aim to test and reveal how aesthetics and social contexts influence customs, rituals and learned behaviours. Among the projects developed for the exhibition are Art School Surgery, a one-to-one life coaching session that explores the value of an art school approach to life and work, and Karaoke Court, a community method of legal arbitration via karaoke singing. As the projects evolve so will the gallery, the latter becoming a repository for expressions, documents and products associated with each project. Tan will also be working in the gallery at various times to guide visitors through his projects’ various processes.
