Kelly Limerick: Unbecoming
This is not your granny's crochet. In this Cuturi Gallery exhibition, Singaporean textile artist Kelly Limerick chronicles the torching of five vessels she had meticulously crocheted. Limerick, who is 31 this year, has done projects with Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay and OH! Open House, but this is her first solo gallery presentation. Besides the works that emerge from her torching, the show also features a video installation documenting the process and a series of photographs memorialising the vessels as they once were, created with Singaporean photographer Clarence Aw and Berlin-based film director Joy Song.

On April 23 and 24, Limerick will be doing live performances titled Please Cross Beyond This Line, in which she crochets a carpet that connects the five melted artworks.
