This woodcut print commemorates the 20th anniversary of Your MOTHER Gallery, a pioneering independent art space in Singapore. The image of a scapegoat carrying a black wok symbolizes the gallery's role as a refuge for artists who may not find acceptance in mainstream institutions. The Chinese idiom "背黑锅" (bèi hēi guō), meaning "to take the blame," encapsulates the gallery's mission to provide a platform for marginalized voices and unconventional artistic expressions. Since its inception in 2004, Your MOTHER Gallery has evolved from an indie art space to an underground haven. This transformation reflects the changing landscape of Singapore's art scene, where institutional funding often comes with restrictions on artistic freedom. The gallery's unwavering commitment to supporting emerging and established artists has led to over 100 exhibitions featuring both local and international talent. It has become a hub for experimentation, collaboration, and critical discourse, fostering a vibrant community of artists and art enthusiasts. As Jeremy Hiah, a key figure in the gallery's history, aptly puts it, "At Your MOTHER Gallery, you can do any art you want, jus don't break a hole in the wall to my neighbor!" This sentiment encapsulates the gallery's spirit of artistic freedom and its dedication to creating a space where artists can push boundaries and challenge the status quo. In the face of financial constraints and bureaucratic hurdles, Your MOTHER Gallery has persevered, providing a vital space for artistic expression and cultural exchange. Its 20th anniversary is a testament to its resilience, its impact on the Singaporean art scene, and its enduring legacy.

Empty Suitcase: 
After Spending


Artist name: Vertical Submarine

Empty Suitcase: After Spending is partly inspired by this quotation:

‘In one of his notebooks, Chekhov recorded the following anecdote: ‘A man in Monte Carlo goes to the casino, wins a million, returns home, commits suicide.’ The classic form of the short story is condensed within the nucleus of that future, unwritten story. Contrary to the predictable and conventional (gamble–lose–commit suicide), the intrigue is presented as a paradox. The anecdote disconnects the story of the gambling and the story of the suicide. That rupture is the key to defining the double character of the story’s form. First thesis: a short story always tells two stories.’

Artist Statement:

In this piece, the artist presents a single, meticulously painted fish on a background of a Chinese newspaper. The solitary fish becomes a symbol of resilience and abundance, set against the transient nature of printed news. By choosing this simple yet evocative composition, the artist invites viewers to contemplate the layers of cultural identity and the enduring value of tradition amid the fleeting moments of daily life. Through the contrast of permanence and impermanence, the work reflects on the quiet persistence of heritage in a rapidly changing world.
