Adeline Kueh | Academic Leadership & Faculty at LASALLE Singapore
Senior Lecturer, Fine Arts

Adeline Kueh

ADELINE KUEH
  • MA Literature & Communications, Murdoch University, Australia
  • BA Critical Studies in Fine & Performing Arts, Simon Fraser University, Canada

Adeline Kueh is an artist, researcher and educator whose interdisciplinary practice spans installation and socially engaged art. Her work critically highlights the relationships between material culture, ritual and everyday life, with particular attention to how these are shaped by historical and sociopolitical forces.

Employing drawing as a conceptual tool, she draws on cartography, craft and oral traditions to map historical trajectories across time and space. As the co­founder of the Critical Craft Collective (Singapore) and the pan-Borneo Serumpun Collective, her research focuses on the centrality of craft in contemporary practice, as well as the politics of care.

Presently a Senior Lecturer in the MA Fine Arts programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore, Adeline has exhibited internationally including the Asia Forum in the Venice Biennale 2026: Minor Feelings, World Architecture Festival (2016–2017), Hermes Singapore (2016), the Singapore Tyler Print Institute Visiting Artists Programme Residency (2021), NTU CCA ldeasFest 2023: Eat. Secure. Sustain., and The Fabulous Stories to Save the Green Planet, a Cultural Olympics Exhibition Program in Gangwon, South Korea (2024).

Adeline's recent projects include serving as lead producer for the National Heritage Board's craft x design workshops with Critical Craft Collective (2024–2026) and for the participatory art initiative Rasa Sayang, presented within Sonic Shaman at the Singapore Art Museum during Singapore Art Week 2026. Her work has also been featured in Brent Biennale 2025 (London), the 3rd Listening Biennale and the Singapore Night Festival 2025 and 2026. She is currently a Ewha Global Fellow (2024–2026) with Ewha Womans University, South Korea.

Since 2001, Adeline has been the driving force in advocating interdisciplinary rigour in contemporary research practice in both postgraduate and undergraduate studies in the McNally School of Fine Arts at LASALLE. She was instrumental in developing curricula that were sensitive to art history, theory, film and studio practice for the validation processes for Open University, and Goldsmiths.

She has held many portfolios including being the Programme Leader/Director of Studies for Art Theory and Art History (2000–2004) and Programme Coordinator for MA Art History (2006–2008). She has been actively supervising a significant number of postgraduate dissertations and research practice including luminaries in the contemporary Singapore arts, design and media scene including a Cultural Medallion winner, Designer of the Year winner and President's Young Talent Award winners.

Adeline has co-­curated graduation showcases for the MA Fine Arts programme and has spearheaded Open Studios, outreach projects with the alumni community of the college in Singapore, as well as numerous global partnerships for LASALLE.
