Artist Statement
Adeline Kueh makes installations that reconsider the relationship we have with things and rituals around us. With desire and longing infused in them, her works are modern-day totems that explore issues of sexuality, domestic objects and magic linked with personal histories, thereby bringing to fore an overlooked moment in time.
Adeline has also produced installations and interventionist projects within the collaborative MatriXial Technologies in old boys network 01 ((Hamburg, 2001), Next 5 Minutes 4: International Festival of Tactical Media (Amsterdam, 2003), and Version >03 Digital Art Convergence (Chicago, 2003).
Rooted in cultural studies, her research interests include notions of monstrosity within Southeast Asian contexts, architecture, fashion and the future of cinema. She has chaired and presented at a number of cultural studies conferences in UK, Australia, Finland, Hungary, Singapore and Malaysia.
Currently a Senior Lecturer, she is also a consultant for a number of research, lifestyle and design projects. Through her consultancy with architecture firm CPG-TSS, they were the first runner-up of the Sentosa Boardwalk Competition (2009), and the winner of Dubai International Financial Centre Competition (2006).
