Innovative Curatorial Projects – Paris / SingaporeEvents
05/06 & 07/06/2015 Singapour mon amour: INTER|actions @ Église St-Merry [Paris]
INTER|actions consists of four commissioned performances ranging from a live ciné-concert, to audiovisual, body and sound performances. Each piece will focus on the capacity of the moving body – the human, filmic and musical – to produce provoking forms and highlight the strength of interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborations.
5 and 7 June 2015 @ Église Saint-Merry, 76 Rue de la Verrerie, 75004 Paris
04/06 Singapour mon amour: The emergence and vicissitudes of an art scene @ Musée du Quai Branly [Paris]
This colloquium will reflect under a theoretical perspective on the visual art, film, performance and literature modules of the project “Singapour mon amour” curated by Lowave. Thematic sessions according to these art genres will draw a bigger picture of the artistic creation in Singapore and will inscribe it into an international art discourse. As a young country, Singapore's art history is still the process of being written and the colloquium aims to collect as many direct sources and witnesses as possible.
4 June 2015, 09:30-18:45 @ Salle de cinéma, musée du quai Branly, 37 Quai Branly, 75007 Paris
24/01/2015 Singapore by Singapore: from Myth to Neon Realism @ Institute of Contemporary Arts [Singapore]
Seen from Europe, the genius of Singapore is its formidable power of circulation: between the 64 islands of the archipelago and the rest of the world, an endless spatial flow of material and immaterial goods, combined to result in the rapid historical movement “from mangrove to metropolis” that rendered visible layers of each step of development, a lively and dense interlacing of communities and cultures. Amongst the symbolic assets of the city, circulate also its images. However, the usual representations of natural paradise in Singapore or as a conquering city-state, gazes at economic and architectural modernity contribute to a discourse that is more complex, subtle and sometimes unexpected articulated by a generation of visual artists both critical and constructive. What news are these authors sending us from Singapore? What forms of description, definition, dynamics that these artists invent, eager to share portraits of their territory with the rest of the world?
