Charleen Leo

Charleen Leo is Exhibitions Project Manager at ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore a landmark building and the first museum of art and science in the world.  Leo has organised several exhibitions including The Deep and Living Yangtze (both 2015), Wind Walkers: Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests (2018) and most recently Wonderland (2019).  Over the last four years Leo has worked closely with the ultratechnologist art collective: teamLab on the concept and annual update of ArtScience Museum’s permanent exhibition Future World: Where Art Meets Science and has developed an in-depth knowledge of the collective’s working practices and objectives.

With a science degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Leo has developed a keen interest in commissioning contemporary art particularly at the intersection of science and technology.  She leverages her early engagement in museum public programmes to explore how new and immersive artworks can offer somatic and heuristic experiences most museum viewers now expect.

Sylvain Levy

Sylvain Levy is the founder of the DSLCollection, one of the rare collections of contemporary Chinese art in France. Sylvain and Dominique Lévy have been collecting for over twenty-five years, focusing first on contemporary Western artists and design. A trip to Shanghai in 2005 and the visit of the studio of the abstract painter Ding Yi plunged them into a "sinophilia", which remains to this day.

Dominique and Sylvain Levy are true pioneers. In 2006, they created the DSL Collection. Unlike some collectors, the couple quickly realized that the emergence of the internet would soon shake up the art world.

Instead of investing in spaces, Dominique and Sylvain Levy made their collection visible virtually via their website and other online platforms.

Their latest project is a museum in virtual reality. The aim is to present their latest acquisitions twice a year through temporary exhibitions organized by professional curators.

Liu Wa

Liu Wa (b.1994) is an artist who explores the subjectivity and limitation of human perception through interactive installation, moving image, and painting. She received her BA in Anthropology and Art from Yale University in 2017 and currently works in Beijing and New York. Through technological approaches, neuroscience in particular, she creates visual pathways between the abstract emotions of the audience and the physical environment. In the current age of technology, her pluralistic practices seek to grapple with humanist topics, such as self-awareness and agency, exploring the interdependence between mentality and physicality. Liu’s works have been globally exhibited and collected by prestigious museums and galleries. She was selected for the “Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list” in 2019.
