“Wei threw a self-initiated farewell party that he invited us, students, to join. I remember it like it was just yesterday,” recalled Yulianna, our Digital Content Creator at RICE. Some years back, Wei Lieh was Yulianna’s lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic’s Design School. In a way, it was a happy coincidence. Wei’s work as an installation artist was ...
Yulianna and I met up with Wei Lieh to follow him on an iteration of his ongoing project titled Very Momentary Exhibition. It was a pop-up installation where Wei would put up displays of rainbow lights on HDB blocks for only a few hours at a time. We met at a non-descript HDB estate, situated in Clementi Avenue 4. I immediately recognised Wei, who ...

We wrapped up the interview and headed to the HDB block where the installation would be, taking a few photos along the way. While Yulianna takes portraits of Wei, the artist pulls out a multitude of concepts—such as a jump-shot and posing next to a bin, which gave us all a good laugh. At the HDB stairwell, Wei meticulously begins work on his tempor...
By the time we wrapped up our session nearly half an hour later, we were three floors down.
