blog about the SB 2006 by Swee Tng

Was googling about the Wire and found this blog covering about the Singapore Biennale by someone called Swee Tng on a university of sydney website.

http://blogs.usyd.edu.au/bizart/stng4471.html - thought that it might offer an interesting read.

Also in one blog entry, Swee Tng aggregated the other links as well.

so check it out if you are interested.

Dear friend,

Here is our selection for this week:

1. Now on!

The Wire Episode #4

By The Danger Museum (Singapore)

http://www.server-foundation.org/wire/

Free

 

The Wire: Cultural Podcast of the 21st Century is a cultural podcast initiated by Simon Petre and Woon Tien Wei for The Danger Museum (Singapore) and presented by ArtSingapore. It is a project responding to the lack of independent media coverage during the time of the Singapore Biennale. Episode #4 is On Thoughts on the Singapore Biennale 2006, Vandalism of Substation and National Museum Preview; there is also a new segment called ‘Ask Isrizal’.

 

2. Opening: Thu (14 Dec), 6.30pm

Square of Infinity

By Bronson Chan, Carrie Huang, Ella Magee, Fredi Sonderegger, M. Kamal Dollah, Noor Effendy Ibrahim, Raman Meyappan, Subashini Balasubramanian & Tan Ai Khim

The Substation Gallery (45 Armenian St)

Free

 

This is an inter-disciplinary art exhibition showcasing the in-process works of nine practicing artists in their separate research as part of the Master of Arts in Contemporary Practice programme at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and University of Huddersfield, UK. This exhibition examines the contemporary relocation and negotiation of a diverse range of disciplines and forms, from the traditional to the immediate and contemporary. The exhibition continues till 18 Dec.

 

3. Thu & Fri (14 & 15 Dec), 8pm

Voyeurages

By Cat Hope

72-13 (Mohd Sultan Rd)

Free (call 6737-7213 to reserve a seat)



Cat Hope is an accomplished sound artist, performer, composer, songwriter and noise artist whose practice is increasingly an interdisciplinary one that crosses over into video, performance and installation. This is a work that speaks about contemporary concepts of journey and visitation. Exploring these concepts and juxtaposing them with the visual impact of viewing the images on the naked backs of participants, this work delves into the confrontational effects that come with the unique experience of exploring new spaces on a provocative plane – the naked human torso.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

 

Regards,

Jennifer.

p-10 picks (3 - 9 Dec)

Dear friend,

Here it is again -- our not-to-be-missed picks for this week:

1. Opening: Wed (6 Dec), 7.30pm

re-ACTION

By Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya (APAD)

The Substation Gallery (45 Armenian St)
Free



Nine young artists like Harman Bin Hussin, Dino Hafian Bin Ahmad and Rudy Djoharnaen present their responses and reactions to the theme of entrapment, or Sangkar (meaning 'cage' in Malay). re-ACTION is a revival of the popular ACTION series in the early nineties with young artists presenting new works. The exhibition continues till 11 Dec.



2. Opening: Thu (7 Dec), 7.00pm

Helen Keller Played the Piano

By Akiko Koga

BooksActually (125A Telok Ayer St)

Free

Japanese photographer Akiko Koga showcases her recent works. Photography is the one thing that makes her really happy and she just loves to keep snapping pictures of stuff that tickles her. She creates a lot of her art from everyday subjects and paints a picture of a world she 'chooses' to see. Her photographs are bittersweet, nostalgic, quirky and a little dorky. This is her 3rd solo exhibition. The exhibition continues till 21 Dec.



3. Now – 31 Jan 07

Interrogating Time, Hidden Histories

National Museum of Singapore (93 Stamford Rd)
Free


This project consists of three new artworks commissioned for the opening festival. The artists were invited to explore the process of conceptualising history through visual means and to respond to the physical environment and architecture of the new museum. The artworks are Singa Merlionus (David Chan), Contours of a Rich Manoeuvre 2006 (Suzann Victor) and Waking the Fluorescent Lion (Brian Gothong Tan). While you are there, do also take a look at the five permanent public artworks, especially Matthew Ngui’s The Building Remembers.



Have a wonderful week ahead!



Regards,
Jennifer.
