JEREH LEUNG
"Instead of being a painter, I would have liked, on this occasion, to be thought of as a window-maker". - Duchamp
Jereh Leung’s work is based upon adopting a constant evaluation and redefinition of subverting patriarchal views. Through merging different mediums(body, sculpture and sound), he creates landscapes that requires a dedication of time and seeks to place viscerality as the central “vehicle of meaning”. Combining strategies of tapping into iconic filmic elements and surrealism, he looks into the politics of negotiating the authenticity of personal memories, interpretation and social construct.
Jereh graduated from SEAD, Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, Austria. He was actively involved in the performance company of the school, Bodhi Project, touring London, Slovenia and Austria. He is also an alumni of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, majoring in choreography under the tutelage of Cultural Medallion, Mdm Lim Fei Shen. He has worked with Frontier Danceland (Singapore), Xavier Le Roy (France), Ole Khamchanla (France), Martin Sonderkamp (Berlin), Oleg Soulimenko (Moscow/Vienna), Matej Kejzar (Brussels/Slovenia), Wallie Wolfgruber (New York), Noa Zuk (Israel) and Ah Hock and Peng Yu (Singapore).
