SOUP Restaged is a collaborative project initiated by Critical Craft Collective (CCC) and Tenthaus Art Collective, that is part of EX-SITU: Singapore Art Museum Art Spaces Residency (Aug-Sept 2024). As an extension of the group’s 2023 collaboration seeded between Oslo and Singapore, SOUP offers material propositions centred around the concept of comfort that is embodied in the idea of “soup”. SOUP proposes an active process of deconstructing the multifaceted notions surrounding soup: considering the conventions of this humble dish, the stories and heritage it carries, the vessels and containers that hold it, and how soup may be read as a verb referring to notions of powering up or to gather something. Grounded in CCC’s ethos on collaborative practices and lateral modes of working, SOUP is an inquiry into alternative modes of artistic production and practice.
