"A lot of people would come up with an excuse: 'I have nothing to give back.' Well, I say that if you are able to draw in the dots, you are able to help." Poesy Liang, artist and activist, 2011

Those of us who have been raised up in and nurtured by the art world are already well aware of its healing nature. We can feel it in our own lives. We can recognize its work in our communities. But what about the others – those who believe themselves to be distant from art, who claim to have no talent for it, and for whom art is the occasional museum exhibition or the compulsory school trip? Can they, too, be touched, inspired, and challenged by art?

In this month's edition, SAGG is happy to share three stories of how art and philanthropy collide and, in doing so, create op-portunities for the public to experience the healing power of art – in Singapore and beyond.

We introduce the current exhibition “The Colours of the Mind” at the German Centre, which presents art by practising art therapists, merging the solitary work of an artist with the caring and altruistic practice of the art therapist.

In our ongoing series "Creating Changes" we include a report from Art Therapists' Association Singapore on its diverse therapeu-tic and educational programs, which endeavor to bridge the hurt spaces opened up by chronic and degenerative illnesses.

We also have word from contemporary visual artist and multi-disciplinary designer Poesy Liang on her international humanitarian networks. Through initiatives like Helping Angels and the Bald Em-pathy Movement, Liang empowers artists and others to volunteer their skills on some of the world's most disabling disorders: disease, natural disaster, homelessness, and poverty.

We hope that you are as inspired as we at SAGG are by these ef-forts – how they raise public awareness of art's therapeutic and philanthropic role in Singapore and the influence of individual artists in healing the world.

Between the SpacesBy Chelsea Chua

Sound artist Dennis Tan will present his Between the Spaces, his first solo show in Singapore. Traversing the gaps between image and sound, Dennis will exhibit a series of kinetic sculptures in The Substation Gallery that aim to challenge conventional notions of perception.

Chelsea Chua: What is your inspiration for this show?

Dennis Tan: The work stems from questioning space as an entity. As we know, if there are no pauses in language or music, the intended message could be lost, or shift from logic to nonsense. These paus-es seem to create different layers of meanings and subconscious interpretations. Moreover it allows for another kind of aesthetic to emerge, leading to a deeper understanding of language and appreci-ation of music. We are thus engulfed in spaces in every imaginable activity that we do. Even in our personal interactions with people, we either offer or deny spaces in-between.

CC: Could you tell me a little more about your sculptures?

DT: The works consists of kinetic visual sculptures and sounds. I'm interested in the use of kinetic visual elements to create sounds that illustrate the possibility of frequencies that have been manifested through the interaction of visual and audio elements. In general, we habitually only use one of our senses at any one time. For example, when we think about music, we think audibly; likewise, we process advertisements and billboards visually. However in my artworks, I have attempted to bridge the link between these elements, and by doing so, extend into the third or even fourth dimension, gradually letting the art pieces to reveal one by one its own intricate universe.

CC: Looking at your body of work, you seem to be interested in examining the gaps between our ability to perceive sound and image.

DT: It is not so much the gaps that I'm interested as opposed to the crossover or switch in perceptions. Working with sound forms the core of my practice, and it functions both as an idea and a concept. Furthermore, I'm curious about the human psyche - its spirituality

and its communication patterns, how we relate not only the other human beings but towards the self and possibly other dimensions. I would define my works as an experiential process, and a search for an understanding of the metaphysical side of life.

CC: What has it been like for you to come back to Singapore after many years of practising as an artist in Germany?

DT: My practice as an artist started in Germany, so I'm only start-ing to get to know the local scene since my return to Singapore. Naturally there are many differences both culturally and socially. Singapore is a growing country with its own restrictions, which sometimes affect artists and the arts community. Of course there are always exceptions to this, especially given the diversity of Singa-poreans. However, overall I do find it a challenge living and working in Singapore.

Between the Spaces is on at The Substation Gallery from Friday, 25 April to Sunday 3

May 2014. The Substation Gallery is open daily from 12pm to 9pm, and is closed on

public holidays. Admission is free. The Substation is located at 45 Armenian Street,

Singapore 179936. Do join us for the artist talk on Saturday 26 April 2014, 2pm.

Teaching in TilburgBy B. Jane Cowie, Artist and Educator

For me teaching is a creative process, sculpting and moulding a course that responds to student needs, challenging and guiding them so learning becomes an unfolding process of understanding. My focus is the development of glass making skill – embodied movement and posture.

I have been teaching hot glass workshops for more than 15 years in studios around the world, developing a unique range of exercises that introduce fundamental skills as the foundation for tacit knowledge. Embodied movement is the aim, responding to the intrinsic properties of hot flowing glass. Demonstrations, discussions, drawing and hands-on hot-glass exercises are care-fully combined in response to the group to provide a multi faceted educational experience that best challenges the group’s collective skill level.

Establishing a set of ‘praxis rules’ means beginners start with a ‘remembered way of working’. These rules become parameters that facilitate a rapid rate of skill development within a narrow range of movements. Understanding how glass moves is a fundamental philosophy, learning movement and posture so students understand ‘how they should move’ to create form. Students are first taught ‘how to move’ – then subsequently they are guided towards a deeper understanding of the material’s flow, the bubble and ‘why to move’.

Mostly all hand tools are removed from the studio so students learn the 3 most fundamental glassmaking tools – heat, gravity and centrifugal force. Reducing the amount of equipment means these fun-damentals must be the focus as there is only you and the fluid material.

Using a fusion of ‘pick up’ techniques, we go as quickly as possible to the hot glass bubble. The bubble is where glassmaking skill learning occurs. Once foundation skills are in place, students go on to challenge these skills.

Features


At the Stipglas Studio in Tilburg, The Netherlands, there is no glass furnace. Working without a furnace is an unfamiliar practice for most contemporary studio hot glass artists. So my workshops are then a unique forum to push boundaries and innovative new ways of working. More importantly, they inspire new approaches within each students’ individual creative practice.

To become a competent glassmaker takes 5-10 year of practice and commitment; nevertheless, within the beginner workshops I am able to provide students with a formidable body of knowledge within just a few intensive days. The knowledge gained is then developed during subsequent practice sessions.

As an artist, individual expression and communication through artmaking is an important undercurrent of my workshops, subtly woven into workshop activities. Ultimately what is it that students want to communicate through their glassmaking practice?

Attending a workshop requires an openness to learn new things, work with new people and be challenged to move and respond to an unfamiliar environment in new ways. Students willing to learn will gain knowledge and progress rapidly during these short courses. Learning how to make a round bubble that is on centre and an even thickness is a fundamental skill to achieve before experimentation and the ability to create ‘what you really want to make’ can begin.

The success of the recent workshops has already prompted confirmation of next year’s workshops. The dates are 19 – 22 Feb-ruary 2015 and 26 February – 3 March 2015.For more information contact Margriet Schoenmakers [email protected]

The Buddha of Kalidass Localised by the PersonalBy Vidhya Gnana Gouresan (Art Curator)

J. Kalidass, a remarkable artist with Singaporean-Indian origin, has purposefully indulged in the attempt to identify a delicate sense of spiritual synchronisation, through an almost entirely personal statement in the form of visual mani-festations. This, he has achieved with the help of sculptural images of Gautama Buddha (here-after referred to as ‘the Buddha’), the founder of one dynamic social, religious, spiritual, personal-political, philosophical phenomenon.

Features

Serene by J. Kalidass, oil on canvas, 2013.


Indeed, Kalidass has tastefully taken the liberty to project his in-spirations from conventional and historic sculptures of the Buddha, within paintings of a monochromatic or earthen palette, complete with a surreal energy that will instill a sense of ethereal awe within the viewer. He achieves this with the manipulation of optical illusion to juxtapose the individual ideas that his images are endowed with.

Born in 1974, Kalidass received his initial formal training in the art of painting at LASALLE College of the Arts (Singapore). Howev-er, he credits Mr Wee Shoo Leong – a senior artist in Singapore – for his unplanned but fundamental entry into the realm of oil painting. Kalidass is armed with a Bachelor in Contemporary Art from the University of Tasmania (Australia) and has exhibited his artworks in Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Korea and Hong Kong. In 2010, Kalidass’ creative career was officially launched via his first-ever solo art exhibition with The Gallery of Gnani Arts. It is noteworthy that, in 2012, he was invited by The Gallery of Gnani Arts to be featured in a television programme entitled Destination Art (Chan-nel News Asia), whereby he travelled to Kumbakonam (an ancient temple town of Tamil Nadu, South India) to work with traditional and modern sculptors, in order to create contextual paintings as an aftermath of the trip.

But why has Kalidass chosen the Buddha as his principle moti-vation for his current collection? “I feel a sense of peace as I paint the image of the Buddha, a symbol of tranquility, and my intention is to enable the viewer to feel the same,” the artist shares, in a calm, confident manner. Clichéd as this statement may seem, it is significant to confess that Kalidass’ depictions of the Buddha exude an awe-inspiring serenity and an almost majestic appeal that are synonymous with the secular image of the Buddha.

The Buddha needs no introduction, even more so due to the overwhelming availability and abundance of printed, published matter on the Buddha himself, Buddhism and its philosophy, in retail or free circulation all over the world. However, the evolution of the image of the Buddha, is indeed another topic, or rather a con-cern on its own. It sure goes beyond the regular reproductions of the bust of the Buddha that we encounter in numerous interior design portfolios as a key element in completing ‘an Asian eclectic design’.

The Buddha image that we are familiar with today is the result of the culmination of many centuries of aesthetic evolution that was not spared of social and political agendas. The chronological chain commences with the expression of the metaphysical presence of

the Buddha by means of symbols during the era of the Mauryan and Shunga dynasties in India (322 - 185 BC). The anthropomorphic image of the Buddha is believed to have taken root at the end of the 1st century AD in northern India. And of course, the evolution of the image continued with historic developments primarily in Gandhara (northern Pakistan), Mathura (central northern India) and Sarnath (Uttar Pradesh, India).

It is significant to note that, currently, Kalidass is being spe-cifically inspired by the Gandharan image of the Buddha, which is based on the Greco-Roman artistic tradition.

We now live in an era of improvisations, whereby certain physi-cal and facial attributes of the image of the Buddha have been lo-calised by every country or culture that embraces Buddhism. In the same spirit, Kalidass’ art, in his current magnificent collection, reso-nates a silent, celestial tone of spiritual harmony, in another realm of aesthetic improvisation. But this time, the image of the Buddha is being localised, not within a downright socio-cultural context, but within the emotively-political mind of a spiritually-curious artist. Let us celebrate this localisation, all in the venerable spirit of Vesak Day in the coming month.

Event: The Colours of the MindDates: Till May 20, 2014Venue: German Centre Singapore, 3rd Floor, East & West Wing, 25 International Business Park, Singapore


Art is often accused of being self-centred and ego-driven. Yet art in art therapy is quite the opposite. The art therapist, who is more often than not also a practising artist, encourages others to express themselves through painting, drawing, sculpting.

The therapist then facilitates, guides, witnesses and responds to her or his client’s art process and art expressions. Nine experienced Singapore educated art therapists now give us a rare look at their own artwork, which is inspired by a holistic, humane view of the world. For curators Midah Arshad and Jutta Odenwaelder of Red Dot Creativity, this is what inspired them to organize the exhibition: the seemingly unbridgeable contradiction between the self-absorbed artist and the caring and altruistic art therapist. “The Colours of the Mind” presents a wide range of works from realistic to abstract, each with its very own history rooted in the therapist-artist’s experience with trauma reactions, posttraumatic stress or depression as well as many neurological and cognitive disorders of their clients. Visitors to the exhibition will find that the colours of the mind are intriguing and even provocative and come in many shades and hues.

According to research, art therapy helps to reduce stress, decrease anxiety, and increase positive emotions. Art therapy can also be effective for family caregivers, as many caregivers experience emotional distress and are in need of social support and guidance. Caring for a loved one who is sick with chronic illness can be a large burden to our physical health and have a huge impact on our emotional well-being.

I met Sherena at a Conference for hospice staff almost four years ago. Sherena is the executive director of the Muscular dystrophy As-sociation Singapore (MDAS) (Figure 1). At the conference, Sherena was one of the participants enjoying the art therapy workshops set up by the Art Therapists’ Association Singapore. Since then, she has invited me to work with the caregivers at MDAS for group art therapy sessions.

The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of genetic diseases characterized by a progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement. The mus-cles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles can also be affected in some forms of muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophies can be diagnosed in early childhood. Most caregivers are parents and grandparents of the sufferers. They often have to cope with the

heavy demand of everyday tasks when caring for their loved ones, as well as the haunting fate that they may lose their loved ones due to the progressive nature of muscular dystrophies.

Art therapy helps people with emotional challenges through the use of creative visual art exercises to express your emotions. Art therapy may help you accept, resolve or express emotional conflicts and often unacknowledged concerns or fears about your family’s battle with muscular dystrophies. The art therapy programmes were one of the holistic programmes which MDAS provides for caregivers (Figure 2). The group sessions with care givers provide pro-social interaction to caregivers. It is a time when caregivers can share their emotional distress, meaning of life, and current health-related qualities of life with others. This interaction becomes an interven-tion which soothes and heals, reduces stress, anxiety and fear.

Caregivers work together with the art materials and do draw-ings, paintings, collages, mosaics or other kinds of artwork. It doesn’t matter whether they think they can draw or whether they think of themselves as artistic. The art therapists help caregivers by encouraging them to make art that expresses feelings they might not want to talk about. During the sessions, the caregivers discuss their thoughts and feelings while viewing the artwork. This helps them to discover emotions or concerns they didn’t even know they had (Figure 3). This sharing of emotions and concerns helps to reduce stress and anxiety, as individuals would be supported by other group members who often can provide an insight of their own experiences.

Poesy LiangArtist and Humanitarian Expands into Singapore with Momentum and Passion

Iconic photograph of Poesy Liang by Singaporean painter, Tung Yue Nang, for the Bald Empathy Movement to raise sensitivity and awareness for people with illnesses


Features

Malaysian-Taiwanese artist and humanitarian, Li-ang, has been making heads turn both on a re-gional and international scale. The Founder of Helping Angels – a global network of volunteers committed to a movement of compassion based on random acts of kindness – sought to encourage volunteerism with time and efforts.

Poesy Liang is a multi-disciplined artist, interior architect, jew-ellery designer and singer-songwriter, who now expands her reach into Singapore, championing her work through the creative arts, philanthropic investments, leadership empowerment and social en-trepreneurship.

The Helping Angels movement first began in 2007 with the simple gesture of bringing 60 underprivileged children on a movie excursion and has since grown to cover over 20 countries with over 2000 volunteers. Activities cover welfare of the underprivileged, education, homeless, old aged, animal welfare and disaster aid.

Liang is motivated by a strong cause to think and provide for the under-privileged, having personally suffered and battled paralysis twice from spine tumours. Liang’s second spine surgery in 2003 left her without sensation in her legs. Since then she has been deemed the ‘walking miracle’, for learning how to walk again, cop-ing with just her eyesight.

Under the umbrella of Helping Angels, Liang spearheaded unique volunteer programs suited to the locality in Hong Kong, Ja-pan, California, Taipei, and other major cities that Liang frequently travels to.

The philanthropist also spearheaded the Thursday Tutoring Program and ChowKids Art Angels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, an initiative that had volunteering members clock in time to tutor the young residents of welfare shelters and refugee centres. All volun-teering activities are led by unit leaders who donate their time to care for the project objectives and administration.

Liang is currently working with several philanthropic organisa-tions in the region and has her focus converged towards Singapore due to its close proximity with Malaysia where her hometown is. She hopes to inspire a greater sense of social entrepreneurship and to bring about altruism within corporations and leaders of influence.

In 2011, Liang founded the Bald Em-pathy Movement in a bid to raise sensitivity and awareness, and give empathy to people with illnesses. She funded her tour throughout Amer-ica, Asia, West Africa and Europe by selling pieces of her own art on Facebook so as to reach her final goal of shaving her head bald in a live web telecast at the 64th Cannes Film Festival for the movement. Her art-works were well-received and have garnered sales from across the world, through Texas to Japan, using her social media outreach.

Yue Nang, the only non-photographer amongst the 10 international photographers who participated in this cause.

Liang’s paintings have been described as childlike, whimsical and uplifting – what has become a classic and signature look for Liang’s artwork. Her most recent pieces, a series of paintings titled “Rooftop Cats” and “Dragonfly Lilypad” have received international recognition with Dragonfly Lilypads #6 currently being showcased on screen in London’s renowned Saatchi Gallery.

The popular “Rooftop Cats” series displays her fascination in roof structures since her architectural days. Liang is currently de-veloping a “Rooftop Cats” series especially for Singapore featuring Peranakan rooftops nestled amongst a landscape of skyscrapers.

Before discovering a career as a full time artist, Liang designed luxury homes for the private jet-setters. Liang also designs jewellery for POEZ Jewellers, a business which she still owns.

Simultaneously, Liang is also releasing music throughout 2014, three singles of her original compositions as well as ten jazzy covers were recorded in London and arranged by God-frey Wang, who was the music director of the late Teresa Teng, amongst other music greats such as Jimmy Ruffin and Boney M.

Venturing on to a different element, she has been working with a team of animators in Singapore to produce an animated film which will be released at a media party in Cannes. The illustrations and soundtrack to the animation will also be designed by Liang.

As the recipient of Her World Woman of the Year, NTV7 Top 5 Inspirational Woman for Bella Awards and New-Man Creative Pioneer Johnnie Walker Phi-lanthropy Award, Poesy Liang is a creative force to be reckoned with, powered and fuelled by her determination to help those less fortunate and inspire and empower oth-ers in following her cause. Her focus on Singapore will help to spur the lo-cal arts and philanthropy scene to a new level. Painting from the “Rooftop Cats” series.

Vietnamese paintings are vibrant, full of colors, life and movement. Vietnamese artists celebrate life and their quest for everyday happiness, laying onto their canvases a brilliant energy.

Vietnamese art differs from other Asian art forms. Through the centuries, Eastern and Western in-fluences have merged to create a distinct Vietnamese art.

Chinese art gave Vietnam its religious art and calligraphy. As China expanded southwards from the 16th century onwards, tradi-tional Chinese art encountered the radically different Hindu aesthetic

canons prevalent in the art of the Champa and Khmer kingdoms.

But the most radical transformation of Vietnamese art came with the arrival of the French colonials in the 19th Century. As French artists portrayed Vietnam from their distinctly European perspective, Vietnamese artists became equally intrigued by the European ap-proach. The Chinese vertical representation of perspective began to blend with European focal point composition while the versatile tech-niques of oil painting coexisted with the rigorous discipline of Chinese ink on paper painting. The European love of painting outdoors in the tranquil countryside or in the middle of bustling village life met the more intimate and meditative tradition of indoor painting.

The European influence, particularly that of the French, brought about the establishment of the Indochina College of Fine Art in Hanoi in the early 20th century. An energetic exchange of ideas and techniques flowed between the College’s European teachers and artists and their Vietnamese colleagues and students. The Impres-sionist movement, already well-rooted in Europe, resonated with the Vietnamese soul, becoming a major artistic trend but with a distinctively Vietnamese approach. The influence of Impressionism on Vietnamese art is still clearly visible today.

From the early 20th century, an incredibly dynamic artistic movement developed in Vietnam. The number of artists and art connoisseurs flourished. New techniques were invented for silk

paintings. The art of lacquer painting, unique to Vietnam, was de-veloped. Vietnamese art was celebrated across borders, particularly in France, where numerous successful exhibitions recognized the talent of Vietnamese artists.

The dynamism of Vietnamese artistic life did not die during Viet-nam’s turbulent 20th century. On the contrary, the vibrant colors of Vietnamese painting became even more vital. Rather than becom-ing passive, artists made the most out of a difficult situation. Ameri-can influence was soon followed by Communist presence which allowed talented young artists to travel to major Eastern Europe universities to study European classical art.

Today, even more than in the past, Vietnamese art is subject to global influences, but its unique heritage is clearly visible in the vitality and innovation which is so much a part of this art form. Vietnamese art is the triumph of life and happiness over hardship.

Kumari Nahappan, Nutmeg & Mace, ION Orchard

FLUXION – Art & Thoughts The First Monograph on Kumari Nahappan’s Artwork

Art News


Kumari Nahappan is one of the pioneers of con-temporary art in Asia, being celebrated for her iconic sculptures in landmark locations in Singa-pore including SAGA for Singapore Changi Airport, Nutmeg & Mace for ION Orchard, Pedas-Pedas for the National Museum and Pembungaan for OUE Bayfront.

The first monograph on Kumari Nahappan’s work, kumari nahap-pan: FLUXION – Art & Thoughts, was launched in February this year. It was made possible with the sup-port of the National Heritage Board in Singapore and spans over 20 years of the artist’s creative prac-tice featuring drawings, paintings, installations, studio-based sculp-ture and public art. It presents new insights into Kumari's artistic prac-tice and is a critical contribution for those interested in her work and in the development of Singapore art.

Art historian T.K. Sabapathy, one of the authoritative voices of Asian modem and contemporary art, helms this thorough and mul-ti-layered study. Research for the publication has stretched over 4 years, spurred by an unprecedented access to Kumari’s studio and private archives.

kumari nahappan: FLUXION – Art & Thoughts consists of 6 chapters. Each is devoted to detailed studies of particular phases and aspects of Kumari’s art, and showcases materials that have never been published before. These chapters bring to light Ku-mari’s creative journey from her beginnings in painting in the early nineties to her progression to installation as art, in which paintings continue to be featured prominently. Attention is also focused on the use of materials, on interpretations of traditions derived from Indian culture, on the predominant use of red, and on concepts of time and space. In a special contributing essay, Singapore curator Lindy Poh examines some of the challenges a contemporary artist

encounters when developing and installing artworks in and for the public domain, as well as complexities arising from the reception and conservation of such art.

This study also features a lengthy interview with the artist, in which she talks about the key concepts, experiences, influences and personal circumstances that have shaped her thoughts on art and its practice. Moreover, the book also proposes contextual frameworks for appreciating Kumari’s art in contemporary terms.

Moving ImagesSoutheast Asian Film Festival 2014

Production still from Shakespeare Must Die with cast and director Ing K.

Art News

Now into its fourth year, the Southeast Asian Film Festival continues to showcase the freshest and most compelling cinematic work emerging from the region.

Providing a window into the core issues and concerns of South-east Asia, the Festival also provides a space for inter-cultural and philosophical sharing, and for art and film friendships to form. Audi-ences will have a chance to meet both emerging directors as well as veteran filmmakers. There will be 20 screenings, nine post-screen-ing discussions and two special sidebars on films from Singapore and films from Mindanao. New works by James Leong and Lynn Lee, Ing K and Manit Sriwanichpoom, Mikhail Red and Joshua Op-penheimer will be shown.

One of the festival highlights is the Shakespearean horror movie "Shakespeare Must Die" by director Ing K (2012, Thailand, 172 mins, Thai with Shakespearean subtitles). It takes place in two par-allel worlds: In the “outside world”, the superstitious, megalomania-cal dictator Mekdeth grieves for his mad, dead wife even as a mass uprising rages against him. Elsewhere, a theatre group stages a pro-duction of Macbeth, translated directly from Shakespeare’s 1606 play. Events from the “inside” world of the stage tell the classic story of ambitious general Macbeth, who, prompted by the prophecies of witches and aided by his ruthless wife, kills the king to crown him-self. The black magic witches, vengeful ghost and murders of Shake-speare’s play intercut with the disintegrations of Mekhdeth and his wife’s corrupt lives, until the two worlds collide in a catastrophic moment when the players must pay for staging such a play in such a society. This film was awarded the NETPAC Award and the Best Feature Film in Fiction at the Tripoli International Film Festival.

The screening of "Shakespeare Must Die" is followed by a post-screening discussion with director Ing K. The seating is limited, so make sure to get your tickets early!

Event: OverrideDates: 1 – 6 April, 2014Venue: Chapel Gallery, Sculpture Square, 155 Middle Road Singapore 188977Web: www.sculpturesq.com.sg, www.facebook.com/sculpturesquare

Art News

Conceived by Sculpture Square’s first edition of Bureau, an ad hoc interdisciplinary agency that runs for four months researching and develop-ing socially engaged art projects, the installation "Override" presents an in-depth investigation in the role of public in public sculpture.

Public sculptures are defined and marked by its position in pub-lic spaces and physical accessibility. Override is the second phase of Bureau One’s project where they take further their investigation by directly intervening into the spaces and sculptures so as to prompt a response from an otherwise elusive public. Also presented are interviews unpacking the process of erecting a sculpture with writ-ers, art historians and artists who have created public sculptures.

Bureau One is composed of Ang Song Nian, Tan Peiling, Ka-miliah Bahdar and Elizabeth Lim. Collectively they look into the au-dience and spaces surrounding sculptures in our city, asking where is the public in public sculpture.

Art News

Singapore Art Fair will make its debut at Suntec City from 27 to 30 November 2014, focusing on the rich artistic offerings of the ME.NA.SA regions (Middle East, North Africa, South & South-East Asia).

Singapore Art Fair The Inaugural Edition

South-East Asia Pavilion curated by Richard Koh at the Beirut Art Fair in 2013

The inaugural edition will feature 60 galleries from around the world, 20 solo show booths from artists who present their work internationally for the first time, and thematic platforms coordinated by renowned experts such as Catherine David and Janine Maamari.

Founded by Laure d’Hauteville, Singapore Art Fair is organised by Orchilys Pte Ltd, a new joint venture company set up by MP Singapore, a professional exhibition and conference organiser head-quartered in Singapore, and CEDRALYS, organiser of the highly suc-cessful Beirut Art Fair.

Mr Jason Ng, Executive Director of MP Singapore says: “We believe that there is room for a dedicated art fair like ours in Singapore as it is the ideal cultural gateway between Asia and the Middle East. With its rapidly developing art scene, Singapore is poised to become an important arts hub.”

The Singapore Art Fair aims to reinforce Singapore’s role as the newest cultural destination at the heart of Asia, and a meeting point for new collectors, galleries, art patrons, artists and cultural institu-tions to exchange ideas.

Entang Wiharso. Indonesian artist Entang Wiharso is one of the most significant artists working in Southeast Asia today. By touching upon topics

such as love, hate, religion, race, ethnicity, ideology and fanaticism, Wiharso also examines the socio-political conditions in a larger sense. The name “Trilogy” stems from artist’s desire to re-examine and re-articulate the ideas presented in three recent solo exhibitions: Love Me or Die (Indonesian National Gallery, 2010), Untold Stories (ARNDT Berlin, 2012) and Geo-Portrait (Primae Noctis, Lugano, 2013 and Salihara, Jakarta, 2013). “Trilogy is three interconnected themes, issues urgent for me to talk about in this moment. I created the work for awareness, as investigations and as an open question to myself.” Till 04 May Image: Entang Wiharso, Perfect Mirror, 2013-2014 from the series: Geo-Portrait.

Lim Mu Hue: An Inventive Life. Lim Mu Hue was born in Singapore in 1936. NAFA alumnus and educator, Lim who was trained in Western painting,

was renowned for his skillful and elaborate woodblock prints. Drawing inspiration from kampong scenes, puppet theatres and changing landscapes of Singapore, Lim’s paintings were rich in local themes. One of the most innovative artists of his generation, Lim had explored and integrated Chi-nese and Western painting methods and concepts to develop his own distinctive style. NAFA is proud to organise this tribute exhibition, a selection of over 40 works and prepara-tory sketches from 1950s to most recently before his death. The works come from the collection of the artist’s family, NUS Museum and private art collectors to showcase his versatility in various mediums such as charcoal, pastel, oil, watercolour and Chinese ink. The exhibition also includes sketches of Lim’s last mural installation at the Esplanade MRT station completed in 2008. Free Admission. 05 Apr – 18 May

Spurious Stories from the Land and Water. Born in 1971 in Malaysia and based in Singa-pore, Sherman Ong’s work centres on the relationships between humans and their

environment. Addressing the climate difficulties in South East Asia, he broadens his speech to borderless issues, travelling around the world to voice the crises he meets. Photographs and videos express the characters’ loss and breathlessness in spaces ruled by uncontrol-lable telluric forces. Sherman Ong’s captured instants do not relate to any human active struggle against an undisciplined nature. Surprisingly, humidity, monsoon, droughts are the dominant subjects of the work. Characters are mainly seen seated or acting as in an everyday and imperturbable life where elements violently unleash. Hoping for the best and devoted to time, a consensus seems to be understood by the depicted men and women: “life goes on”, radical but necessary choice? 24 Apr – 31 May

In Search of Raffles’ Light | An Art Project with Charles Lim. Attempting to remember histories attached to sites related to Singapore’s seas, In

Search of Raffles’ Light is an interdisciplinary project guided by the Raffles Lighthouse (estd. 1854) as an evolving metaphor to chart how and where history intersects with the present. Responding to a series of correspondence which outlines the beginnings of a maritime museum in Singapore following independence from the British, this exhibition presents new works developed by Singapore artist Charles Lim, and mobilises everyday objects, museum artefacts, archival texts and maps, photographs, paintings and prints that range from the national to the personal, the archaeological to the biological, and the historical to the present. Understood in this light, the exhibition may be seen as a polyvocal attempt at illuminating the complexities between contemporary practice, museums, and their cultural artefacts. Till 27 Apr

Described as Scribble with life Vince Low’s work is invariably in portrait form and started about three years ago when his role as an Illustrator with a Design Agency required material for a Dyslexic advertising campaign. Himself a dyslexic, Vince felt immediate empathy with the campaign as he knew many famous people had used their dyslexia to overcome any perceived drawbacks and create great career success within their chosen fields.

tcc-artshowcase Delphine Bernard. French abstract painter Delphine Bernard explores flux of energies and power of creativity through

very expressive artworks. Painting with colours and emotions, the artist uses her savage and undisci-plined touch to captures primitive forces: her fast strokes runs over the canvas and resemble a frantic and feverish waltz of pigments and forms, thoughts and desires.

Her palettes suggest duality, from dark and strong tons mirroring scenes of battles and war to vivid and vibrant colours of her florid, joyful works, passing by pastels of her delicate fairy-tell sceneries. Till 05 Jun

In/sight: Abstract Art by Wu Guanzhong and Artists from Southeast Asia presents a selection of abstract works from the national collection to

illustrate the diverse motivations for abstraction amidst distinct and varied backgrounds. Wu Guanzhong (1919-2010), one of the foremost painters in Chinese modern art, was a leading exponent of abstraction in China.

Wu saw form as an important component in appreciating a work of art, seeing beauty in formal visual elements like line, shape, colour, texture and composition. These were of critical concern, much more than subject matter and physical resemblance to an object in reality. This focus on form is likewise evident in the abstract works of artists in Southeast Asia. Many artists in Southeast Asia engaged with abstraction as part of their grappling with the modernisation of art in their local contexts.

Works by Southeast Asian artists such as Anthony Poon, Latiff Mohidin, Ahmad Sadali and Damrong Wong-Uparaj are also featured. Till 30 Apr

Between the Spaces by Dennis Tan questions the notion of space as an entity. Focusing on the aspects of space between sounds and words,

the exhibition draws upon this minute factor building a bridge between understandings and misunderstandings, noise or music. Moving amidst variant sound and kinetic sculptures, the exhibition reflects on the human needs for personal and social spaces, and evokes questions on its functions and modes of communications. The gallery space thus becomes a source of resonance and mediations on sound and beyond. 25 Apr – 03 May

Decimal Points 810. By Cake Theatrical Productions. Before going for his surgery, a man hears that patients hallucinate during surgery. He wakes up 13 and a half hours later, and cannot remember anything. Decimal Points 810 is one man’s hallucination

of a hallucination that never took place. Imagining what could have happened during the 810 minutes of his existence that was lost in oblivion: images, sound, words and move-ment that may or may not have taken place in the time ‘lost’ during his surgery. 25 + 26 Apr, 8pm

Yavuz Fine Art focuses on South East Asian and Middle Eastern contemporary art. Amongst the principles guiding selection is the gallery’s conviction of the social signifi-cance of the artwork.

Dukkha – The Imagery of Suffering. Thai artist Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew in his first solo exhibition in Singapore. Winner of the prestigious Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2006, Uttaporn is one of Thailand’s most exciting and widely admired new-genera-

tion artists. He has developed a unique mixing of media that produces haunting, ethereal images. Each work consists of layers of fabric, netting and thread set within a deep encasement, each with hand-painted or screen printed figures. The result is a mesmerising three-dimensional painting. A devout Buddhist, Nimmalaikaew's distinct style illustrates and explains the inevitable cycle of birth, aging, and death in all of our lives, as explained in Buddhist philosophy. Intentionally drooping threads woven through layers of netting suggest a life flowing; of aging and physical degeneration, corresponding with the core idea about the unavoidable truth of life and its constant changeability.
