About Joella K.

Joella Kiu is a curator, editor, and art historian based in Singapore. She focuses her research on how artists arrange, assemble, or organise large amounts of information, especially when in relation to the more-than-human. Additionally, she is interested in how artists lay bare these systems along varying scales of visibility. Currently, she is Curator at the Singapore Art Museum. Her recent curatorial projects include 'SAM Contemporaries: Residues & Remixes'(2023),'Lonely Vectors'(2022) and 'REFUSE'(2022) at the Singapore Art Museum, and 'to gather: The Architecture of Relationships'(2021) at the Singapore Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. She has published writing about curatorial research, ecologies and counter-cartography in esteemed journals such as Ideas, FIELD, The Garage Journal and PR & TA. In terms of independent initiatives, Joella started the discursive online platform, Object Lessons Space, and was host, writer and producer of Mushroomed, a podcast about the visual arts produced in collaboration with Singapore Community Radio.
