About

Singapore Art Museum presents Yee I-Lann: Mansau-Ansau, a solo mid-career exhibition showcasing recent and seminal works by Malaysian contemporary artist Yee I-Lann, providing a refreshing and critical perspective from her home in Sabah. The exhibition titled Mansau-Ansau (referring in the Dusun and Kadazan language to a wandering without expectation and thus embracing curiosity) attends to Yee’s journey of discovery and creation over two decades, navigating domains of knowledge, old and new, and reimagining the forms and dynamics of power.


The exhibition spans a range of media, including photo collage, silk, batik, bamboo pus, and pandanus. Yee closely collaborates with sea- and land-based communities and indigenous mediums in Sabah, Malaysia, weaving thoughtfully presented narratives and cultural bridges through art. Visitors are invited to encounter a horizon that teases, where the kerbau (buffalos) stand their ground and mats ‘eat’ tables, experience karaoke beyond language, and meet turtles as they return home. Yee I-Lann: Mansau-Ansau spotlights Yee’s critical practice, which serves as a poignant reminder for reorientation, attending to the moment with curiosity, and embracing one’s path and rhythm.
