Exhibition: Into Air by Dawn Ng

‘Into Air’ features twelve individual works by the leading Singaporean artist. An ambitious assemblage of photographic, painting, lightboxes, video and one-off performance, the oeuvres explore time held in the ultimate ephemeral object that is ice.

This is Dawn Ng’s seminal first solo show in London, located in the living heritage church St Cyprian’s, Marylebone.

What started out as a benign curiosity about holding time in an ephemeral object like ice, became a full-blown obsession in studying the metamorphosis of form, state and colour, via the creation and disintegration of large, sculptural blocks of frozen pigment over time.

Dawn Ng prompts us to reflect on the properties of cyclical passing, how beyond numerical chronology time is a matter of feeling and moment-making.
