Jevon Chandra is a transdisciplinary artist, designer, and researcher. Through time and context-bound installations and interventions, his works estimate the push and pull between notions of doubt and belief, such as in acts of love, hope, and faith. Across collaborative projects in the contemporary and performing arts, and civil sector, he conceives his practice as a long-term endeavour guided by decency, honesty, and possibility.
As a lead/co-lead artist, his projects have been presented at platforms such as National Gallery Singapore’s Children’s Biennale 2023, Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) (2022), Leipzig International Art Programme (Germany, 2022), Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) (2021), Singapore Art Week (2021), Fujinoyama Biennale (Japan, 2020), Incheon Art Platform (South Korea, 2019), Esplanade Flipside Festival (2019), Understanding Risk Conference 2019 (Chiang Mai), The Substation (2018), and OXO Tower Wharf (London, 2017).
As a collaborator in the performing and media arts, recent credits include multimedia and sound design for Between 5 Cows and the Deep Blue Sea... (2022) for Esplanade’s Kalaa Utsavam Festival, multimedia design for Kepaten Obor – Igniting a Weathered Torch (2022) for Esplanade’s Pesta Raya Festival, _ Can Change (2021) with The Necessary Stage, and (un)becoming (2021) at T:>Works’ N.O.W. Festival. Recent sound design credits include An Impression (2021) with T.H.E. Dance Company, NO FLASH (2021), an audio-fiction podcast for National Gallery Singapore (NGS).
