INTER–MISSION (Urich Lau, Shengen Lim, Yuehan Teow and Marcel Gaspar)
Shengen Lim, Born 1981, his practice is geared in a multidisciplinary manner that seeks new presentations of traditional methods. Currently exploring space, time, static and vibrational as aesthetic experiences. My work touches on issues in contemporary media art and culture, using alchemist-like processes and engineering methodologies to bring new contemporary perspective into traditional practices. The subject matters are related to notions of lost, interactions and negotiations.
His work has been exhibited in Artscience Museum Singapore, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore Fringe Festival, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, Alliance Francaise - Singapore, Kanto Gallery – Philippines, Sunshine Museum of Contemporary Art - China, ‘2e Biennale internationale de I’image de Luang Prabang – Laos and Salford University - United Kingdoms, Sunshower – Mori Museum, Tokyo, Japan. Being based in Korea, his exhibitions includes The Stranger, Loop Gallery, Flow International Performance Festival, Golmok Gallery – Seoul, On Video, Hongik University – Seoul, Ulsan Art Center and 7th Guemgang Nature Art Biennale and Asia Culture Center - Gwangju.
He is currently pursuing his Masters and PhD in Engineering at the School of Culture Technology in Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) as a researcher with Interactive Media Lab. He is a member of The Artist Village (Singapore), Daejeon Arts Collective (Daejeon, South Korea), Axis of culture (Transpacific arts collective).

Urich Lau (born 1975) is a visual artist, independent curator and art educator based in Singapore. Working in video art and photography, he has presented works across Asia, Europe, Central Asia, Australasia and North America. He graduated with Master of Fine Art from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2004. He is a lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts, a member of The Artists Village, Instinctive (INSTINC), a founding member of the art collective INTER–MISSION and residence artist at Goodman Arts Centre in Singapore.
Marcel GASPAR, born in September of 1986, has a strong interest in engineering since young. He studied mechatronics in ITE and Polytechnic. However, during his ITE years, he started to develop an interest in photography, resulting in a course change in polytechnic to Graphic Design in the middle of his studies. It was only then he firmly decided to major in Photography. He completed his studies in Lasalle College of the Arts with BA (Hons) in Fine Arts in Photography, with his focus concentrating in photography, videography and what photography could be. Over the years, Gaspar has exhibited both his videography and photography works in Singapore, Korea and Taiwan. He is also a member of The Artist Village in Singapore since 2013. In recent years, he has been performing with 3 other artists, Urich LAU, LIM Shengen and TEOW Yue Han, and together in November of 2016, they officially formed the collective INTER-MISSION. Currently, he attempts to successfully integrate the two fields of study, Engineering and Arts together.
Teow Yue Han (b. 1987) is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the interface between performance and technology. He creates situations where gestures and social interactions can be interrogated, rehearsed and renewed. Yue Han graduated from Slade School of Fine Art with an MA in Fine Art Media where he received the 2016 Julian Sullivan Award. He has performed locally at ArtScience Museum Late, Fetterfield, R.I.T.E.S., Singapore Night Festival and internationally at China, London, Paris, Seoul and Taiwan. Yue Han is a core member of FOCA (Free of Charge Art) – a curatorial team interested in engaging alternative spaces, critical discourse and cross–collaboration, and INTER-MISSION, an art collective focusing on technology in art.
