SUMMARY:Silent Dialogues - Solo Exhibition by Aryan Arora
DESCRIPTION:MAVEN IRA IS THRILLED TO INVITE YOU TO A PRIVATE VIEWING OF ‘SILENT DIALOGUES’\, A CAPTIVATING SOLO EXHIBITION BY ARYAN ARORA. \nTHIS SERIES OF 15 MONOCHROMATIC PAINTINGS EXPLORES THE DUALITY OF BLACK AND WHITE\, WITH ONLY TWO GRACED BY COLOUR. THE ARTWORKS DELVE INTO THE THEME OF MASKS THAT PEOPLE WEAR UNKNOWINGLY\, EVEN ALONE. EACH ARTWORK IS A THOUGHTFUL DIALOGUE\, A SILENT PLEA THAT ECHOES THE SENTIMENT\, “SOMEBODY SAVE ME\, ME FROM MYSELF.” \n  \nJOIN US FOR THE OPENING NIGHT \nDATE : 30 August 2024 \nTIME : 6:30 to 9:00 PM \nLOCATION :EL PICO\, 6 Hongkong St\, Singapore 059649 \nAbout The Artist \nAryan Arora (b. 1999)\, born in Saharanpur\, India\, is a visual and performance artist currently rooted in Singapore. Graduating from Lasalle College of the Arts\, Singapore\, and holding a degree in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University in the United Kingdom\, Aryan delves into the realms of societal norms and personal introspection through his artistry. \nRejecting the constraints imposed by societal ideals\, Aryan’s creative journey is a relentless exploration of individual expression. With a focus on challenging taboos entrenched in contemporary culture\, he employs various mediums to amplify voices often silenced or marginalized. \nAryan’s canvas extends beyond conventional boundaries\, with bodies serving as both medium and message. Through mediums like body painting and his provocative honey dipping series\, he confronts societal taboos associated with the human form. The choice of honey as a recurring motif in his work symbolizes preservation and protection\, with its timeless essence serving as a metaphor for the desire to shield oneself and others from insecurities and vulnerabilities. \nHis past works have been prominently displayed at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore\, Art Outreach Singapore\, Visual Arts Gallery Singapore\, The Substation Gallery\, Google Headquarters Singapore\, Mumbai International Airport India\, and many more. \nIn addition to his intimate explorations\, Aryan’s artistry spills onto walls as murals and graffiti\, echoing his commitment to unraveling the complexities of societal constructs. \nFor Aryan\, art is not just a form of expression; it’s a potent tool for communication\, commentary\, and catharsis. His work resonates with a yearning for authenticity and healing in a world often shrouded in masks. In every stroke and performance\, Aryan Arora emerges as a steadfast advocate for the liberation of the true self\, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing through art. \nThis exclusive event offers an opportunity to experience Aryan Arora’s thought-provoking works in an intimate setting. \n

SUMMARY:Waterloo Street Stories 2024: Cor Machina (Heart of the Machine)
DESCRIPTION:Cor Machina (Heart of the Machine) is an immersive and interactive experience combining poetry\, sound\, and light. Part of “Waterloo Street Stories 2024: Interplay” and Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary celebrations\, this event celebrates the rich histories and communities of Waterloo Street. \nWaterloo Street represents Singapore’s diverse heritage\, and Cor Machina explores the connections between communities and the arts\, symbolised by the typewriter as a relic with the poet as its beating heart. The typewriter’s mechanical clatter echoes modern life’s relentless grind\, yet within this noise\, there is beauty—a reminder that even in the machine\, the human heart creates with hope. \nCor Machina captures this playfully\, by inviting participants to explore these themes through creation. Audiences first enter an installation of pre-made prompts that draws from personal\, communal memories and stories of the street. They’re invited to send in an order for a poem to the Proletariat Poetry Factory\, which becomes a meta memory machine. Poets\, musicians\, and artists create new memories and stories from their inputs\, blending them with the street’s past. \nThe work evokes collective remembrance and celebrates the street’s heritage in a contemporary context. The intent is to spark meaningful conversations\, weaving together past and present\, individual and collective experience. This performance is also in conjunction with Centre 42’s 10th Anniversary\, serving to commemorate our placemaking and memory making on Waterloo Street.
