FOST Gallery is pleased to present the second edition of The Lie of the Land, a group edition of six Singaporean artists, in conjunction with Singapore’s National Day.

The premise of the exhibition has not changed: to understand the features and characteristics of a place or the current state of affairs, we often need to, both literally and metaphorically, conduct investigations, surveys leading to the eventual assessments. The exhibition is a review of what makes up this country: its history, its peoples, its natural and constructed landscapes, its values, its nuances. The title is also a double entendre: with different lenses and the passage of time, perspectives on said place often blur or shift.
