Paper folding workshop with Fiona Seow
Sat 9 Nov | 2 to 5pm | City Hall Wing, Level 5, Rooftop Studios | $30 (including exhibition admission ticket), Registration required: https://bit.ly/KimLim_PaperWorkshop
*Recommended for: ages 15 and above.
In her sculpture making Kim Lim was preoccupied with form, space, rhythm and light, as well as expressing the qualities and essence of her materials, be this marble, stone, wood or paper.
On the occasion of the exhibition "Kim Lim: The Space Between. A Retrospective", National Gallery Singapore invites you to a hands-on paper folding workshop developed with artist Fiona Seow to gain a better understanding of these concepts.
Participants will be guided by Fiona in simple folding paper techniques to create modular units, which can then be stacked, slotted, glued or otherwise arranged to create small sculptures. Through this workshop participants will learn to consider sculptural form, as well as the role that display conditions play in articulating space, rhythm, light (and shadow), and in expressing the materiality of paper.
* This workshop includes a curator-led tour of the exhibition; exhibition entry and light refreshments are included in the fee.
** If you have any access needs, please email [email protected].

About Fiona Seow
Fiona Seow is a visual artist primarily driven by an obsession with perfection and order, coupled with a compulsion to repeat. Her geometric abstract drawings and installations are the by-products of various processes that she engages in to achieve a meditative state or a sense of pleasure. She is interested in the relations between time, labour and value.

About the exhibition
As part of National Gallery Singapore’s SG Artist series, "Kim Lim: The Space Between. A Retrospective" marks the most comprehensive exhibition to date of Singapore-born British artist Kim Lim. Once overlooked, this exhibition acknowledges Lim’s profound impact by tracing the evolution of her practice over four decades, highlighting her unique approach to Minimalism, influenced by material cultures across her travels.
Featuring key sculptures and prints spanning her career, along with maquettes, previously unseen photographs and archival materials, the exhibition reveals how Lim’s cultural in-betweenness shaped her artistic style and her resistance to the pressures of identity labels. Discover how she masterfully balanced space, light and rhythm through the power of suggestion and metaphor, creating works of profound subtlety and depth.
"Kim Lim: The Space Between. A Retrospective" runs from 27 September 2024 to 2 February 2025 at the National Gallery Singapore's Singtel Special Exhibition Galleries 2 & 3.
