Chloe Ho is a doctoral candidate in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. Her interest is in twentieth and twenty-first century Singapore art, specifically in relation to performance, performance art, and art historiography. She investigates the place of performance in the transmission of art and the art historical in the Singapore context, looking at both artistic works and social phenomena and its relation to society. Her current research project attempts to contextualise the absence of university-level art historical studies in Singaporean universities and the absence of a formal canon for Singaporean art as a resistance toward Western structures of knowledge with artwork and events in Singapore from the late 1980s to the present.
