An economist by training, Yen Hui made the leap into the arts almost immediately after her university education, and hasn’t looked back since. She built up her industry experience at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute, where she worked for five years around marketing and communications, sales and client relationship management, and exhibitions, logistics and art-handling. Presently, as Collections Manager at the Singapore Art Museum, she concerns herself with the nascent but burgeoning field of contemporary art conservation, strategising new approaches for information capture to deal with the evolution of contemporary art practices beyond traditional media. Yen Hui’s thesis, titled “Queering Perspectives in Singapore Art in the 1970s to 1990s: Subjectivity and Desire in Figuration”, explores the hitherto under-examined themes of sexual difference and gender diversity in Singapore art history, and looks at possible ways to understand homoerotic image-making in the country. She continues to research on Southeast Asian art history and visual culture, particularly in the areas of queer studies, performance art, and politically-engaged art.
