𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Review of 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘱 

Eric Lim Jit Kai reviews 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘱 (2026), presented by NTU Museum (@ntumuseum ) and featuring works by Torlarp Larpjaroensook (@torlarp_hern ), Tromarama (@tromarama ), and Boedi Widjaja (@boediwidjaja ). Using memory as a conceptual frame, the exhibition delves into the complexities and nuances of finding identity and belonging in an ever-changing world. This article is the winning entry of On Second Thought, a writing competition by NTU Museum. On the cusp is on view at various locations around Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from 21 January to 2 April 2026.   “Here, I found the art right on the cusp of the transition between domains. History resisted fading into obscurity with the use of modern technology, the digital world reached into the physical, and tradition contrasted with visions of the future.” 1.

On the cusp delves into the complexities of identity and belonging in an ever-changing world, using the cusp as a metaphor for transition. What happens when different realms - past and present, virtual and physical, earthly and spiritual, intersect? How do these realms converse, and what is exchanged at points of contact and transformation? Through distinct artistic approaches, Boedi Widjaja, Torlarp Larpjaroensook, and Tromarama explore how such exchanges shape our sense of self and our relationship to the world. The exhibition opens until 2 April 2026. Head over to experience the magic yourself. 🕒 Open on weekdays, 10am - 5pm 📍INDEX @tromarama 📍Nanyang Lake Pavilion @boediwidjaja 📍Chinese Heritage Centre Lawn @torlarp_hern #NTUMuseumExhibition2026 #onthecusp

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘁: On the cusp Here is an excerpt from the exhibition essay written by curator Lu Xiaohui (@lu___x__ ) for 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘱 (2026), presented by NTU Museum (@ntumuseum ), Singapore. This is the third in a three-part series, where Lu examines Boedi Widjaja’s (@boediwidjaja ) treatment of memory and history as living cellular material that can transmit, mutate, and infiltrate culture. 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘱, presented by NTU Museum, is on view at various locations around Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from 21 January to 2 April 2026. “History is porous, a fluid membrane through which personal and collective memory circulate and converge.” Click on the link in profile to read the full article.
