“The Ends of a Long Boom” is the first solo exhibition of Singapore-based artist Ho Rui An in Europe. It comprises video installations from the artist’s most recent bodies of works, alongside new artworks created for this exhibition.

A common thread in Ho Rui An’s essayistic practice is its analysis of the insidious pervasion of neoliberalism into all regions of the earth and all realms of life, from the political economy, to our social imaginary, and even to our sense of time. In “The Ends of a Long Boom”, Ho further investigates the complex ramifications of late-capitalist ideology in the media and in cultural production. He especially traces the racialized and complex relations between the “East” and the “West”, as well as among East Asian nation-states, while emphasizing the persistence of imperialist legacies.
