‘Community Hospital’ was a group exhibition in a former Chinese medical clinic space situated in a previous-era colonial house.

This was the opening exhibition organised by WhyWhyArt in an exciting new art space, Art Yu Yuan Lu.

The participating international and local artists exhibited works that reflected on philosophical, personal and social issues. Where art raises awareness, can be cathartic or of any other use, or is even the cause.

Using Community Hospital as a place where “Matters” can be explored, sated, defined, and maybe even cured. The cross medium artworks exhibited each picture a certain problem, for some of the artworks this will be their first preview.

The ‘Community Hospital’ concept was created and curated by Zane Mellupe.
