An Obstacle in Every Direction
Singapore Biennale




Exhibition Statement
2019

Helmed by Patrick Flores as Singapore Biennale 2019 Artistic Director, and with a curatorial team of six members from Singapore, Southeast Asia and beyond, Singapore Biennale 2019: Every Step in the Right Direction focuses on the imperative of making choices and taking the steps to consider current conditions and the human endeavour for change.

Obstacle courses are usually physically challenging structures set to test an individual or a team under fixed conditions. In An Obstacle in Every Direction, the artist invites the visitor to enter an obstacle course made up of found objects that appear precariously placed. It is an obstacle course with no set rules, both conceptually and formally.Instead, Nabilah Nordin encourages visitors to spend time exploring the different possible routes and enjoy the textures of the ‘obstacles’placed in their way. Inspired by the notion of failure, Nabilah’s obstacle course asks visitors to open themselves to experiencing the many routes that might go somewhere, nowhere or everywhere.
