‘Irregular Plural’ unfolds a trilogy of dual exhibitions that begins with an inquiry into “Who” we are, followed by a search for “Where” we find our sense of home, and culminates in an exploration of “What” defines the concept of home itself. The final opus of this series bears the title ‘Commune’. WMA has commissioned artists Yim Sui Fong and Lo Wan Ki, known for their active engagement in the community through artistic interventions, to create multimedia installations The Third Person and Internal Sonata. As the two sets of new works demonstrate the artists’ interpretation of communal dwelling, they also present a participatory display that invites introspection and self-examination: all of us are born into some kinship, community, and class. However, what material and emotional conditions cultivate a true sense of belonging, and ultimately, the making of “home”? In a community characterised by diverse values and rhythms, how might we pursue and foster a site of cohabitation, with equity and autonomy?
