Post-Museum Post (17-23 Nov 08)

Dear friend,

The year-end is here and Christmas is around the corner. However, we are
not taking a holiday just yet! We are busy preparing some Christmas
specials so look out for them.

The first is our pre-Christmas exhibition Shopper/Hero which is opening
next week. The aim of this exhibition is to highlight the work of several
local NGOs and social enterprises while selling their merchandise and
raising funds for them. Do get gifts for your loved ones and yourself at
this show and be a shopper/hero!

More info coming up.

Best,
Woon Tien Wei.

Dear friend,

Starting this week, we’ll be sending you a weekly email entitled Post-Museum Post. This replaces p-10 Updates and p-10 Picks we previously sent out.

We hope you enjoy this new format.

UPDATES

1. Now till 2 Nov in Show Room: Exelcior Mortis: Recent Work by Jack Youngblood (UK) features work done in the past year while he was artist-in-residence in a Singaporean computer games design company. Its themes reference heavily the lurid and dramatic imagery of which contemporary computer games are frequently composed. The work also addresses such notions as ‘the hero’, ‘the beauty’, death and loss and is a development of the ‘old spaceman’ imagery that has constituted his other shows in Singapore. A parallel event of SB2008. Opened 6-10pm (Tue-Fri), 12-10pm (Sat+Sun), closed on Mon; free admission.

2. Food #03 is featured on Small Girl Big Appetite Episode 8 - http://sgba.tv - check it out!

3. Drawing Out Conversations (curated by p-10’s Lim Kok Boon and featuring Post-Museum’s resident artists Chun Kai Feng, Chun Kai Qun and Joo Choon Lin among others) is now on at FOST (65 Kim Yam Rd). This exhibition brings together a diverse representation of artists at work in Singapore to explore their concerns with drawing and its relationship with their varied practices. Till 1 Nov from 12-7pm (Tue-Sat), free admission.
