"There are too many episodes of people coming here..." [projects 2008-2014] is an exhibition on exhibitions - uniting artworks, artefacts and documentation from projects organised by the NUS Museum from 2008 to 2014. The result is a thought-provoking walk down memory lane, offering a glimpse of curatorial methods and processes, and exploring the meaning and purpose of artefacts.
