island is excited to present Throughput, a solo exhibition by Hings Lim. In his second solo presentation with the gallery, Lim positions turmeric (kunyit) as a case study for, and methodological antithesis of, technological, linguistic, and organic transmission. The term throughput assumes a system, measuring the data which is successfully presented at its end, the result always less than what is theoretically possible. Kunyit stains, easily traceable as a sacred, medicinal botanical material. In Malay, the word is also used as a slur for queer bodies. As kunyit moves through them, it diffracts boundaries, highlighting the tension between organism and the technological systems through which they are processed.
