Contemporary Artists’ Books Presentation

Nearly 60 artists’ books will be shown, including those by Daniel Buren, Richard Long, Hamish Fulton, Alfredo Jaar, Edward Rusha and Lawrence Weiner.

3. Talk: Sat (9 June), 2.30 – 5pm

Updates,

We are back from our 3 months break (JAN-MAR). However, it is not much of a break since we are working on documentation and archiving of our projects. It just means no exhibitions. Next time, I certainly hope that it should really be break.

Good news. We are 99% sure we are going to ahead with our expansion plans.

Hopefully nothing major sets us back. By the way, we have been 'trying' to get this new expansion going for almost a year now. :(

Crazy but glad we have came to the decision to carry on despite going against the grain during some pretty tough time.

Kah Kit is back! Taking a holiday breather from his studies in Sweden. According to him, Swedish meatballs is not a popular food item there. IT is kind of like Singapore Fried Rice.

More good NEWS, I hope to annouce next time.
