Yesterday's install at studio sessions @goldsmithsstudiosessions Thank you to those who came and gave feedback. Also, part of the presentation is a new work-in-progress made in collaboration with @ehh.joshkon that features a moving gloved hand (modelled after my own) that is a translation of a video work (small screen bottom left). Also thought the last photo of my own shadow on the curtain during golden hour looked sinister. 🫱

Presenting a body of work at @untitledartfairs with @starch.sg that opened today and will run till Sunday, 7th December. More photos to follow! Come find us at the Nest Section, curated by @jonnytanna - Untitled Art, Miami Beach Nest Section Booth N31 - Big thanks to @wraith___core who made it possible! 🩷

Last day of @photolondonfair 2026! We will be around till 6pm today. We've had amazing fun brainstorming, thinking, sourcing, and making for this collaborative installation. From bathroom fixtures to camping supplies, to thrift shop finds, and chance encounters at recycling bins, Corporeal Fantasies is a sum of various details and cycles of thought. Find us at booth J04 before it all comes down! 🐦⛺️🚿📚 Photos by Yeeun Kim @about_yeeun

New orientations and expansions Swipe right for a video of me, in drag, laughing with you. Also included is an image of actor Moses Lim. The video is part of a longer (slightly) satirical video project called "reasons for my broken wrist" where I attempt to tire my wrist out through a series of actions. ♡ Little fun fact: Moses is actually not my registered government name. I adopted it as a defense mechanism when I was younger when people started comparing me to actor, Moses Lim (RIP) and I decided to take it on so someone couldn't laugh at me/ It's an inside joke/ I made the joke first so you couldn't. I also got baptised (at a conversion therapy church thing ) and carried the joke maybe a bit far too long. ♡ Slide 1 and 2: Clipped claws, 2026

There are two more days to see 'New Containers' on display in our space in Marylebone. It closes end of this sat the 24th of Jan. Moses Tan, Tucked away, 2025. Graphite on watercolour paper, found wooden toy cupboard, pendant, 22 x 14 x 6 cm. Moses Tan, Folded away, 2025. Graphite on watercolour paper, Found Victorian photo film holder, 16 x 10.5 x 16 cm. This pair of works is constructed using British-made found wooden objects which house images based on personal photographs of queer love. Singapore, a former British colony, retained colonial-era legislation that criminalised homosexuality. While it was repealed in 2022, the legacy of this law has long shaped queer lives within Singapore’s evolving social landscape. The works consider veiling and unveiling personal histories within the wider colonial context. The graphite drawings are folded into crevices and receptacles, tucked away carefully as private, disavowed mementos, hidden away from wandering eyes and ears. -+-+-+-+- Moses Tan (he/they)is an artist and curator from Singapore who is interested in the intersections of queer theory, the decolonial turn, autotheory, and politics, while exploring ideas of melancholia, mythology, horror, and botany. In their work, they employ sculpture, drawing, found objects, and video in installations. They are currently studying on the MFA Fine Arts program at Goldsmiths University of London. Previously they won the Postgraduate Scholarship Award from the National Arts Council in 2024 for their study at Goldsmiths University. They have recently exhibited in the Singapore Art Museum (2023), Kadist, San Francisco (2024), Ames Yavuz, Singapore (2020-21), and the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (2019). They also founded and run starch.sg, an independent artist-run space in Singapore.
