When “COCONUT INFINITE” was served at Gilda—a new neo-bistro restaurant located within a revitalised warehouse in George Town—I was told that the mocktail was a foretaste of what awaited us next door at Blank Canvas: “The Infinite-land (Penang)”, a solo exhibition by Sim Chan, curated by Kobe Ko.
A sip and instantly, the sweetness of the passion fruit flavour engulfed my palate, followed by the mellow silkiness that came from the coconut. The aftertaste was a slightly floral and musky pandan flavour. These three distinct tastes represented the three series of works we would be viewing: “In Endlessness”, which would present 3D sculptures with infinite mirrors, “WindowScape”, a mobile light installation and “Wondering”, a cable car series.
