As part of her residency project\, she conducted walking workshops in Phnom Penh\, Bangkok and Berlin. This project idea draws on her ongoing research on our relationship with urbanity in rapidly developing cities. \nZen (visual art) and SueKi (dance) as collaborators\, are now interested in moving forward with research into Singapore’s urban context\, delving deeper into how they can explore the discourses on light and urbanity through multidisciplinary means: soundscapes\, multimedia data translation\, movement\, and tactile forms. This provides multiple entry points into the research as well as the interpretation\, creation\, and presentation of the data. Through artistic means\, they are interested in opening up a space where people can take time to process and discuss their embodied perspectives on light and darkness\, and how these ever co-existing elements are inextricably linked to life rhythms\, memories\, pollution\, urban development\, safety and surveillance\, environmental changes\, accessibility of energy\, and volatile global political states. \n— \nAbout Zen Teh\nZen Teh (b.1988\, Singapore) is an artist and educator interested in man’s relationship with the natural world. Her art practice spans photography\, sculpture and installation art. Teh has initiated collaborative interdisciplinary projects with artists\, art professionals and scientists to explore the impact of human activity on natural environments. Teh’s works have been showcased in Singapore and regionally including Thailand\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Korea\, Japan\, Taiwan and China. She was conferred the Young Artist Award by The National Arts Council\, Singapore in 2021. She was artist-in-residence at the International Studio Programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany in 2024. \nAbout SueKi Yee\nSueKi Yee is a Malaysian dancer-choreographer (currently based in Berlin) who’s drawn to improvisation\, site-specific work\, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. With a Bachelor in Dance (ASWARA)\, she’s trained in contemporary dance\, ballet\, and various traditional folk and classical dances. Movement has become her entry point into understanding and exploring other art forms\, providing diverse entry points into her work and expanding the horizons of research\, creation\, and presentation.

SUMMARY:Urban Screens: Dancing Alone (Don’t Leave Me)
DESCRIPTION:A video art showcase by Susie Wong \n17 to 26 Jan 2025\nVenues: Digital billboard at Fortune Centre and Digital billboard at Wilkie Edge \nDancing Alone (Don’t Leave Me) is a series of onscreen vignettes of solitary women dancing by themselves\, for themselves. The work is inspired by a scene from the film\, The King and I\, where the female protagonist says\, “No woman would dance alone when a man is looking at her.” In Wong’s work\, the dancer is both the centre of attention and wholly indifferent; her occupation of the screen gives momentary respite and joy. \nYet her ability to escape the gaze of others is constrained by her own longing to be seen. Exaggerated by a highly visible medium\, these strange tensions speak of Wong’s long term preoccupation with romance and agency in relation to cinematic tropes\, and the complex negotiations that ensue. \nThis work is curated for Urban Screens\, which is presented by Objectifs as part of Singapore Art Week\, supported by the National Arts Council and Plan B Media. \nAbout Susie Wong \nSusie Wong is an artist\, curator\, educator and art writer in Singapore. She studied painting at the former LASALLE College of the Arts (St. Patrick’s Fine Arts) in the mid-1980s\, and pursued her Master of Fine Arts at LASALLE in 2007. She was artist-resident at NTU-CCA Singapore in 2018. Wong’s work ranges across landscapes\, still life\, portraiture\, a recurring subject in her early oil paintings and drawings. Since 1990s\, Wong has curated\, co-curated\, co-organised and/or participated in several solo and group exhibitions: Personae XX (1996\, Kandang Kerbau)\, HOPE: w.a.p. [women artists’ project] (2000\, Chijmes)\, The Machine Contemplating the Body (2014\, Singapore General Hospital) among others. More recently\, her work contemplates mass media and the circulation and consumption of images\, the mistrust of representation\, appropriating images or visual references for much of her work\, extending to romantic tropes in media. Her installation work with video/light projections includes Take Care of Me in the curated series\, Opening Day\, at the Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre in January 2018; and Dancing Alone\, at Objectifs\, 2020. \nShe was artist-in-residence at NTU CCA (Nanyang Technological University -Centre for Contemporary Art) from June to November 2018. \nWong has also written for numerous publications and monographs on art since the late 1980s. She is Assoc. Editor for ISSUE\, an annual LASALLE journal publication since 2013.
