Brendan Goh is often preoccupied by things that lie within the realm of the domestic and the homely, and often related to notions of being and habitation. His work, taking various forms such as texts, sculptures and installations are part of his approach to experimenting and understanding what makes lives livable and memorable. Apart from this, he also lends his mind to a range of other imaginative endeavours such as curating, designing, editing and creative directing.

Brendan spent his formative years at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, before moving on to the LASALLE College of the Arts where he obtained his BA Fine Arts in Singapore in 2007. Brendan majored in Sculpture, but was noted to spend most of his time outside the studio, fascinated with words, people and spaces. Brendan also co-directs tickleart, an experimental public arts space in Singapore, with Zarina Muhammed.
