At the recent Singapore Biennale, I read my fair share of artist statements. These statements are sometimes used as an opportunity to explain the work, at other times to explain the philosophy of the artist which may (or may not) shed light on the work. For me the clarity and accessibility of the statement bears a direct relation to the clarity and accessibility of the work.
Here are some of my favourite artist statements that I have stumbled upon

Annette Barbier/Drew Browning’s
Krishen Jit Astro Fund for Malaysian Artists
Its not art, its air Con piping at the Biennale’s Tanglin Camp
