Installation shots of our latest project, for Helu-Trans in Singapore: Southeast Asia/Contemporary, the first of a Helu-Trans Collectors series.

We had a wonderful time working with the four private collections involved, and with the Helu-Trans team. Thanks to everyone who came for the opening and panel discussion last weekend, especially friends from Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia.
