Time Out says

When you step into a contemporary art exhibition nowadays, it's usually decked with moving visuals. But prior to the sleek projection technologies we've gotten familiar with were early video installation works that broke out across Southeast Asia in the 1980s and 1990s. Travel back in time and navigate through the rich history of this popular medium at National Gallery Singapore’s latest exhibition. Stroke your chin as you observe the video artworks from pioneering artists including Apinan Poshyananda’s How to Explain Art to a Bangkok Cock, Dr Baharudin Arus’s Medium is the Message, and Chng Nai Wee’s Sin of Apathy. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for an egg-citing performance by some cock-a-doodle-doos!
