5 / Limited Movement / Presented by MoCA Loewen (Singapore)

An exhibition by Sui Jianguo, one of China’s most important and influential artists today. Sui’s latest work transforms the space into a darkened room where a hulking steel box stands. Looking through one of the two viewing ports in the structure, the viewer catches fleeting glimpses of the huge steel ball rolling about within. However, given the obscured view and erratic movement of the ball, it is almost impossible to predict the next collision.
