CALL FOR ARTISTS: VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR
2022-12-02 17:30 - 2022-12-23 17:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | palazzo bembo, Venice
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022 – 16TH EDITION
Palazzo Bembo | December 02 – 23, 2022
Deadline: October 31, 2022
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with EGO’ Boutique Hotel, is pleased to announce the open call for the 16th Edition of VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022, international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture and performance art, that will be held in Venice, at Palazzo Bembo.
To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video-art), links to videos/performances and pictures via e-mail to director@itsliquid.com .
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban context in contemporary time, through two main sections: LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
LIQUID ROOMS analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality: a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of boundaries and structures between body, mind and soul, human identity and the city, the space and the ground.

Seeing ______ Through the Eyes of Impermanence II
2022-12-02 20:00 - 2022-12-04 16:30 (Asia/Shanghai) | Esplanade Theatre Studio, 1 Esplanade Dr, Singapore, 038981, Singapore
In our ever-changing world, the desire to capture passing moments and transient experiences gives rise to questions about the nature of permanence itself. Are tangible objects and structures immune to forces of change? Could intangible forms, beliefs and values remain lasting in their relevance? What residues are inevitably left behind in the wake of impermanence?

The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company and T.H.E Second Company share the stage in Seeing ______ Through the Eyes of Impermanence II, featuring a restaging of 2012’s Hey Man! by resident choreographer Kim Jae Duk, and a reinterpretation of Kuik Swee Boon’s Helix (originally Helix, in progress in 2016). In looking at the interactions of singular and collective selves, this double bill reimagines ways of exchange, encounter and existence, reclaiming a contemporary resilience for the challenges of our times.

Hangover by Phuc Thien Hoang
2022-12-03 - 2022-12-22 | Richard Koh Fine Art, Blk 47 Malan Road #01-26 Gillman Barracks Singapore 109444, Singapore, 109444, Singapore
Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA) is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of Vietnamese artist, Phuc Thien Hoang (b. 1995). The exhibition is curated by David Willis, titled Hangover. It is scheduled to run from 3 – 22 December 2022 at Richard Koh Fine Art Singapore, Blk 47 Malan Road, #01-26 Gillman Barracks, Singapore 109444.
The exhibition Hangover constitutes a selection of paintings by the young Ho Chi Minh City based artist Phuc Thien Hoang, working in acrylic, oil, and mixed media. This is his first exhibition outside of Vietnam, and his second solo exhibition to date. Most of these canvases are bustling with figures—drinking, puking, kissing, dreaming—and the viewer becomes a bit of a voyeur, looking out from behind the eyes of the artist as he surveys the crowd.
The paintings take us into a dream world where the mundane interactions of daily life are imbued with the exaggerated intensity of mythical conflict. What we see in many of these works (such as the eponymous triptych Hangover) is a sober person’s perspective on a drunken scene. Alternatively, the still life Summer Fruits offers a break from the maddening crowd—consider it a glimpse of the morning after the hangover, when the headache is all gone.

Children's Entrepreneurship Fair
2022-12-03 09:00 - 11:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Castlery, Liat Towers, Orchard Rd, Liat Towers, Level 3, 541 Orchard Road, Singapore, Singapore, 238881, Singapore
Support young entrepreneurs in their business ventures! Children’s Entrepreneurship Fair is a fair specially created for children ages between 5 and 16 to market their products and services in a safe and nurturing environment. Free to visit.
Nothing beats real-life experience of being an entrepreneur. There’s only so much we can teach in the confined space surrounded by four walls. We can drill in the importance of pitching, the art of negotiation, or the technicals of making the financials work — but until we hit the ground running and actually start a business, all these would only be a blurry appreciation. Shop and watch children navigate an entrepreneur life – Real Life!
Self-Directed Life is a community of invested forward thinkers who believe in enabling children to be happy, purposeful, and motivated in life.

This book explores the career of the artist, following the path from his first major works in the late 1990s through to the present day. Aitken’s work encompasses large-scale film installations such as ‘Sleepwalkers’ (2007), site-specific sculptures including his ‘Underwater Pavilions’ (2016) installed off the coast of Catalina Island, California, and peripatetic happenings like ‘Station to Station’ (2013), which saw a train containing a travelling studio cross the USA from the Atlantic to the Pacific, staging unique performance events at each stop. Weaving together images and text in an energetic composition of rhythm and movement, this authoritative volume mirrors the ways in which Aitken has approached and explored the contemporary world in his conceptual body of work across multiple mediums.
With an introduction by Joseph Akel and a new extended essay on Aitken’s oeuvre by Daniel Birnbaum, plus archival essays and interviews with the artist by writers including Marc Spiegler, Terry Riley, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Joseph Grima, April Lamm, Susan Solomon, and Jörg Heiser.

The Change
2022-12-07 20:00 - 2022-12-11 20:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Cairnhill Arts Centre, Cairnhill Arts Centre (Teater Kami Black Box), 126 Cairnhill Rd, #02-04/05, 229707, Singapore

A common refrain in Singapore is that we contribute just 0.1% of world carbon emissions. Hence, we aren’t to blame and can’t make a difference anyway. But as a facilitator of global trade (Singapore has the world’s 3rd highest trade-to-GDP ratio), decisions made here cause real damages that remain invisible and uncounted.
The other question is what damage are we causing ourselves when we look away? And what new cognitive dissonances do we feel when we have no power to stop ourselves from causing harm?
With a bit of caustic humour, The Change starts with the stories of two friends. Alex is a bureaucrat who, against the best wishes of his colleagues and constant failure, continues trying his best to effect change. Danial, his old friend from school, spends his days ironing children’s clothes and his nights dabbling in socially-conscious theatre – they begin collaborating on a new piece of climate change communication.

Zhang Fuming: Props and Poses
2022-12-16 12:00 - 2023-01-03 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | AC43 Gallery, 76 Bras Basah Rd, #01-01, Singapore 189558, Singapore, Singapore, 189558, Singapore
AC43 Gallery is pleased to present Singapore printmaker Zhang Fuming’s latest exhibition, Props and Poses. Through this new series of work, Fuming delves into an observational criticism of the ‘fake it till you make it’ phenomenon and the middle-class obsessional pursuit with materials and ranks within society. Featuring 12 medium- and large-format mixed media woodcuts and 8 small drawings completed in the recent period of 2020-2022, the showcase provides audience an insightful survey of Fuming’s endeavour beyond conventional modes and formats of printmaking.
Zhang Fuming (b. 1989, Singapore) obtained his diploma in Fine Arts (Printmaking) from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2011. He specialises in woodcut and has over the years developed a body of work that harnesses the direct, efficient means of black-white woodcut narratives to express critical social messages. His stark, expressive use of blacks and whites takes after the technique of German printmaker, Kathe Kollwitz, who relies on bold, economical usage of blacks and whites to dramatise scenes of vulnerability, toil and destitution.
Props and Poses lends an observational criticism to the ‘fake it till you make it’ phenomenon and the middle-class obsession with materialistic pursuits and social ranks. Fuming deliberately modelled his woodcut compositions after certain types of images and photographic arrangements that pervade social media trends. The compositions evoke a photo-studio shoot setting where objects are arranged with figures in a particular fashion to create a seemingly spontaneous and objectively positive image. Upon closer inspection, however, these figures and objects are simply incompatible and awkward. The objects may seem unnaturally placed to optimise frontal viewing, neglecting functionality in the process and resulting in a warp of perspective and proportion. The subject matter becomes incredibly awkward and artificially decorative, as opposed to an artist’s process of framing and composing an image. There exists an ironic subtlety in Fuming’s handling of the objects and their significance within the setting of his composition, opening up for audience a contextual ambiguity to ruminate upon.

Zhang Fuming: Props and Poses
2022-12-16 12:00 - 2023-01-03 19:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | AC43 Gallery, 76 Bras Basah Rd, #01-01, Singapore 189558, Singapore, Singapore, 189558, Singapore
AC43 Gallery is pleased to present Singapore printmaker Zhang Fuming’s latest exhibition, Props and Poses. Through this new series of work, Fuming delves into an observational criticism of the ‘fake it till you make it’ phenomenon and the middle-class obsessional pursuit with materials and ranks within society. Featuring 12 medium- and large-format mixed media woodcuts and 8 small drawings completed in the recent period of 2020-2022, the showcase provides audience an insightful survey of Fuming’s endeavour beyond conventional modes and formats of printmaking.
Zhang Fuming (b. 1989, Singapore) obtained his diploma in Fine Arts (Printmaking) from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2011. He specialises in woodcut and has over the years developed a body of work that harnesses the direct, efficient means of black-white woodcut narratives to express critical social messages. His stark, expressive use of blacks and whites takes after the technique of German printmaker, Kathe Kollwitz, who relies on bold, economical usage of blacks and whites to dramatise scenes of vulnerability, toil and destitution.
Venturing beyond the conventional practice of carving lines, ridges and reliefs to create an original composition in negative, Fuming treats the woodblock with carving tools and paints as a painter would a canvas, unveiling a monochrome relief composition on its surface through strategically chiselled shapes, lines and textures. Rather than being prints off the woodcut, each composition is presented as-is on the wood plank – at one with the artist’s material and carving process, and organically characterised by rough edges, imperfections, grains and frays. The image on the wood plank, though spartan, emanates stillness with a tremble of movement. This is because the composition is completed through tension and contrast from the seemingly brutish determination of the artist to create the desired image against the woodgrain, allowing the struggles of the artist’s knife to show through in detail.

#Metazomia
2022-12-31 23:00 - 2023-01-20 22:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | T:>Works, 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Rd, Singapore 239007, Singapore, Singapore, 239007, Singapore
#Metazomia is a 360-degree immersive cinematic experience created by award-winning artist Brian Gothong Tan. Famed for creating impressive multimedia experiences for the Singapore Bicentennial, National Day Parade and the Singapore International Festival of Arts, Tan’s latest production will not only be a visual feast but also an interactive one.

Created from artificial intelligence and inspired by the writings and ideas of James C. Scott’s ‘Zomia’ and Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin creation, Tan’s cinematic experience looks into what the future could hold. Tan spins off illustrative genres such as cypherpunk, solarpunk and desertpunk. He harnesses history, literature, popular culture, film and digitality to playfully critique and comment on reality and the desires for alternatives. In doing so, Tan creates a non-state reality that reflexively looks back at proposals of better futures. The result: an epic melding of generative art and motion graphics with interactivity that is fun, thrilling, and beautiful.
