SUMMARY:Figuring a Scene | In Dialogue with Patrick Flores and Siddharta Perez
DESCRIPTION:Sat 11 May | 11am | National Gallery Singapore\, Supreme Court Wing\, Level 5\, Glass Room | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/FiguringAScene \nHow do exhibitions shape how we make sense of history or society? \nCurated by Dr. Patrick Flores\, the exhibition “Figuring a Scene” proposes that exhibitions hold intrinsic significance beyond historical or societal contexts. Emotions\, imagination\, and sensory experiences take centre stage in our understanding of art\, defining how we make sense of the world around us.\n\nThis conversation between Dr. Flores and Siddharta Perez will delve into debates around exhibition-making and the tension between “making” and “making sense.”\nAbout the Speakers\n\nSiddharta Perez is Curatorial Lead at the National University of Singapore Museum\, where she also oversees its South and Southeast Asia collections and contemporary projects. Additionally\, Perez helms the ‘prep-room’\, a unique curatorial model that articulates the relationships among artefacts\, artworks and archives\, as well as the interactions between artists’ practices and pedagogical disciplines. Perez is from the Philippines\, which is also where her work with university museums\, galleries\, artists and independent projects made an impact in the regional scene. She co-founded the exhibition\, residency and news platform Planting Rice in 2011 and is currently part of the editorial collective Southeast of Now.\n\nPatrick Flores is Deputy Director of Curatorial & Research at National Gallery Singapore. He was previously Professor of Art History and Criticism at the Department of Art Studies\, University of the Philippines\, Quezon City\, which he chaired from 1997 to 2003. He was also concurrently the curator of the Jorge B. Vargas Museum. In 2015\, he curated the Philippine Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale. In 2022\, he was curator of the Taiwan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.\nAbout “Figuring a Scene”\n\n“Figuring a Scene” moves away from how art history has defined the logic of exhibitions\, arguing that exhibitions have intrinsic significance independent of supposedly external factors like history or society. It asserts that emotions\, imagination\, and sensory experiences play crucial roles in understanding art and inevitably defining how we make sense of history or society. The exhibition probes the process of creating forms and how sensitive materials like art gain significance within specific settings\, resembling the unfolding of narrative or drama.\n\n“Figuring a Scene” presents different instances where elements from nature become signs that help us perceive and grasp social forms. These instances come via the shadow\, the fruit\, the fire\, the air\, the wax\, and the city.

SUMMARY:A unique approach to “figuring” art at National Gallery Singapore’s Figuring a Scene
DESCRIPTION:Discover new ways of “figuring” art at National Gallery Singapore’s new exhibition\, Figuring a Scene. Presented at Dalam Southeast Asia\, the show is Dr. Patrick Flores’ first curated exhibition for the Gallery since he joined in 2023 as Deputy Director of Curatorial & Research. Guided by an unconventional curatorial approach\, Dr. Flores diverges from the largely linear method of storytelling seen in the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery to encourage fresh perspectives on viewing\, understanding and appreciating Southeast Asian artworks and materials. It asserts that emotions\, imagination and sensory experiences play crucial roles in understanding art and inevitably defining how we make sense of history or society. The exhibition probes the process of creating forms and how sensitive materials like art gain significance within specific settings\, resembling the unfolding of narrative or drama. \n  \nFrom 5 April to 1 December 2024\, visitors may explore six episodes that investigate how elements from nature are depicted in different forms of art and take on meaning in broader contexts of history\, society\, faith and identity. Discover the links between fire\, a seemingly destructive element\, and Singapore’s national development or observe the different manifestations of the invisible element of air. \nFor more information on the exhibition\, please visit: nationalgallery.sg/FiguringAScene

SUMMARY:Tropical | Artist Tour by Boedi Widjaja
DESCRIPTION:Tropical | Artist Tour by Boedi Widjaja \nSun 3 Feb | 11 am | Singtel Special Exhibition Gallery 1 (near Lift Lobby B)\, Level 3\, City Hall Wing\, National Gallery Singapore | Free\, registration required*: https://bit.ly/Tropical_ArtistTour \n*This programme is free for exhibition ticket holders. Please ensure you have a valid admission ticket to Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America. \n—\nJoin us for a tour with multidisciplinary artist Boedi Widjaja and curator Teo Hui Min. Their conversation will delve into the Library of the Tropics\, a special zone in the exhibition that features an intriguing collection of books\, films\, paintings and cultural objects. The tour reflects on how our ideas about “tropical paradise” are tied to the intersections that persist between modern art\, mass tourism and their combined appetite for the exotic. Presented in “Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America”\, Widjaja’s sonic piece “Datum” features a series of discordant pulses\, composed by inverting and arranging the recordings from a 100-year-old gamelan originally from the Surakarta Palace. “Datum” is a part of Widjaja’s “Black-Hut” series (2018–ongoing) and has been featured as a soundscape for site-specific structures that meditate on the material qualities of architectural dwellings in the tropics.\n\n—\nAbout the Speakers\nBoedi Widjaja’s practice draws on his early family history in Indonesia\, contemplating the concepts of house\, home and homeland through long-running\, interdisciplinary series that are developed in parallel with each other. Widjaja was trained in architecture and has worked in graphic design. Past exhibitions include “Cladogram: KMA’s 2nd International Juried Biennial” (2021)\, the 6th Singapore Biennale (2019–2020)\, the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial (2018–2019)\, “MAP1: Waterways” (2017)\, and at the Diaspora Pavilion in the 57th Venice Biennale\, amongst others.

SUMMARY:Stories Artists Tell Us
DESCRIPTION:Sat 25 Nov 2023 | 4.30 pm | City Hall Wing\, Level B1\, The Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/TropicalRichardHassell\n\n—\nIn 1968\, the renowned Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi unveiled her “crystal easels\,” a groundbreaking design approach for displaying paintings at the São Paulo Museum of Art. For “Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America”\, the Gallery actively engaged with Bo Bardi’s designs within the exhibition as a strategy to bridge industrial histories\, material expertise and distinct building techniques from the Global South.\n\nTo bring this vision to life\, the Gallery has collaborated with the architectural firm WOHA to engage with Bo Bardi’s designs. WOHA has been at the forefront of innovations in architecture and urbanism through their futuristic buildings that remind us we exist within the natural world\, not outside of it.\n\nIn this wide-ranging talk\, Richard Hassell\, one of the co-founders of WOHA\, will offer insights into the exhibition’s design ethos and reflect on burgeoning questions around postmodern tropicality\, urbanism and architecture.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by a discussion with the exhibition’s co-curator Shabbir Hussain Mustafa.\n\n—\nAbout the Speaker\nRichard Hassell founded Singapore-based architecture firm WOHA in 1994 with Wong Mun Summ. The firm focuses on the integration of environmental and social principles at every stage of the design process. WOHA have received several international awards for their work\, and have won seven separate categories in the World Architecture Festival\, including the 2018 World Building of the Year for Kampung Admiralty. WOHA launched “Garden City Mega City: Rethinking Cities for the Age of Global Warming” (Pesaro\, 2016) at the 2016 Venice Biennale\, which shares strategies for the exploding megacities of the tropical belt. Their book “WOHA: New Forms of Sustainable Architecture” (Pesaro\, 2022) documents the complete corpus of WOHA’s pioneering sustainable and built work.\n—\nAbout the Exhibition\n“Tropical: Stories from Southeast Asia and Latin America” explores the vibrant narratives of artists\, dreamers and writers who challenged conventions and fostered solidarities across these two regions. Their unwavering quest to reclaim their rightful position within the story of art forms the core of this exhibition. Featuring over 200 artworks\, it is the world’s first large-scale exhibition to take a comparative approach between artistic expressions from Southeast Asia and Latin America.

SUMMARY:Visage of Violence: A Lecture Conversation with Indira Arumugam and Cera Tan
DESCRIPTION:Sat 4 Nov | 3pm | National Gallery Singapore\, Supreme Court Wing\, Level 5\, Glass Room | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/VisageofViolence \n—\nSurrounded by the metropolitan landscape of Singapore\, “Untitled” by Mumbai artist Shilpa Gupta depicts a dualistic present and invites us to reflect on the visage of power\, conflict and violence in everyday life.\n\nIn this lecture-conversation\, speakers Indira Arumugam and Cera Tan will tap into the complexity of violence from anthropological and philosophical perspectives. Arumugam will question assumptions on violence and analyse how power is exercised in various forms of oppression\, while Tan will examine the violence that emerges from games of classification. Unravelling the logic on which these games operate\, she will demonstrate how “undecidability” haunts and subverts this logic obtained in the security and maintenance of sovereign borders.\n\nThis conversation will be moderated by curator Adele Tan.\n—\nAbout the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commision\nThis series invites leading international artists to create site-specific installations at the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery\, made possible through a gift from Far East Organization.

SUMMARY:Keynote Lecture | Video Vanguard: Channelling Body\, Society and Spirit in Southeast Asia by Dr Edwin Jurriëns
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Lecture | Video Vanguard: Channelling Body\, Society and Spirit in Southeast Asia by Dr Edwin Jurriëns \nFri 13 Oct | 6pm | City Hall Wing\, Basement 1\, The Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/SMSY_KeynoteLecture\n\n—\nIn this keynote lecture\, Dr Edwin Jurriëns (Convenor and Associate Professor of Indonesian Studies at the Asia Institute\, Faculty of Arts\, The University of Melbourne) will discuss various concepts and contexts related to the interpretation of the works in the “See Me\, See You” exhibition\, arguing that the artists and their works are part of the Southeast Asian creative vanguard of the late 1980s and early 1990s.\n\nDr Jurriëns proposes that this pioneering quality is reflected in their ability to break with the notion of the autonomy of art before reconnecting it with the praxis of life\, presenting artistic innovation and imaginative visions for a better world. Moreover\, the works set in motion dynamic processes of creation and reflection where audiences play an active part. Instead of just being static objects or technological tools\, they can be seen as forms of corporeal\, social and spiritual channelling.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by an exhibition launch reception for Part 2 of “See Me\, See You: Early Video Installation of Southeast Asia”.\n\n—\nAbout the Speaker\n\nEdwin Jurriëns is Convenor and Associate Professor of Indonesian Studies at the Asia Institute\, Faculty of Arts\, The University of Melbourne. His main research interests lie in environmental and socially engaged art and media. His publications include the monographs ‘The Art of Environmental Activism in Indonesia: Shifting Horizons’ (Routledge\, 2023) and ‘Visual Media in Indonesia: Video Vanguard’ (Routledge\, 2017)\, as well as the edited volume ‘Digital Indonesia: Connectivity and Divergence’ (ISEAS\, 2017).\n\nHe is editor of the ‘Asian Visual Cultures’ book series published by Amsterdam University Press and regional editor of ‘The Newsletter’ of the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS). He has had fellowships with the Institute for Area Studies at Leiden University\, Monash Art\, Design and Architecture at Monash University in Melbourne\, The Graduate Institute in Geneva\, The University of New South Wales in Canberra\, and IIAS in Leiden. He was co-convenor of the 2016 Indonesia Update of the Australian National University in Canberra.\n\n—\nAbout the exhibition\n\nJoin us on a journey back in time to and explore the history of video installation art with “See Me\, See You: Early Video Installation of Southeast Asia”.

SUMMARY:The Sixth Liu Kang Annual Lecture | نڬري داڬڠ | 蔚為大觀: Multicosmological Modernity in 1930s Penang
DESCRIPTION:The Sixth Liu Kang Annual Lecture | نڬري داڬڠ | 蔚為大觀: Multicosmological Modernity in 1930s Penang\nSat 2 Sep | 2pm | City Hall Wing\, Level B1\, The Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/6thLKAL\n\n—\nNan Guo (南郭)\, a Penang correspondent for the Nanyang Siang Pau (《南洋商報》) daily newsletter\, published a series of articles from 1934 to 1936 that featured Chinese businesses in Penang. Amidst the aftermath of the Great Depression\, Nan Guo’s writing sought to capture the social and cultural development in the wake of a catastrophic global financial meltdown. Despite the fact that he had no training in the social sciences\, Nan Guo adopted sociological methods in his reporting. Besides reporting local news and affairs\, he surveyed empty houses\, counted bicycle shops\, observed Penang residents’ peculiar habits\, talked to Penang residents from various class backgrounds and even visited art exhibitions. Through Nan Guo’s data-rich\, yet reflexive writing\, one gets the sense that during the early 20th century\, aesthetics played a larger role in shaping one’s perception of their place in the world.\n\nIn this lecture\, Dr Simon Soon will contextualise the use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) to produce a cultural map of 1930s George Town\, Penang. He will explore Nan Guo’s articles alongside the paintings and activities of two of Penang’s modern artists—Abdullah Ariff and Yong Mun Sen. He will also discuss Penang’s modernity through theories of animism to highlight the island city’s multicosmological societies.\n\n* نڬري داڬڠ is Malay in the Jawi script for “negeri dagang” or “trade country\,” while “蔚為大觀” (wèi wéi dà guān) translates roughly to “exuberant vista”\n\n—\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr Simon Soon completed his PhD in Art History from the University of Sydney under an Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship. His thesis “What is Left of Art?” investigates the intersection of left-leaning political art movements and modern urban formations in Indonesia\, Singapore\, Thailand and the Philippines from the 1950s to the 1970s. His reading and research interests span from comparative modernities to art historiography\, with a focus on 20th century art in Southeast Asia. He has an interest in historical GIS and the use of digital tools in the humanities. Soon is a co-editor of “Narratives of Malaysian Art\, Vol. 4”. He is also an editorial advisor to “Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art”\, a new peer review journal. He is currently the Deputy Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Creative Arts\, Universiti Malaya.\n\n—\nAbout The Liu Kang Annual Lecture series\n\nThe Liu Kang Annual Lecture is a signature Gallery programme that is planned in partnership with the Liu Kang family. Each year\, the lecture presents new research that spotlights a pivotal period of Singapore’s art history\, shedding light on cultural forces and critical moments that have shaped our art.

SUMMARY:Vision\, Faith\, and A Journey in Indonesian Art: A Conversation with A.D. Pirous\, Kenneth M. George & Anissa Rahadiningtyas
DESCRIPTION:Vision\, Faith\, and A Journey in Indonesian Art: A Conversation with A.D. Pirous\, Kenneth M. George & Anissa Rahadiningtyas\nSat\, 26 Aug | 2pm (GMT+8) | Gallery’s YouTube & Facebook Channel\n\n*For viewing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1673598806474453/\n*For viewing on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8TSASWkR-s\n\n—\nWritten by Kenneth M. George and Mamannoor in 2002\, “A.D. Pirous: Vision\, Faith\, and A Journey in Indonesian Art\, 1955-2002” is a thorough survey of Pirous’s life\, works and artistic practice\, and was born out of the long-term collaboration and friendship between Pirous and George. The book details Pirous’s stories about aspects of his life and artistic journey\, highlighting his explorations of calligraphic forms\, and his critical position in developing the practice and discourse of modern Islamic art in Indonesia.\n\nJoin us for a conversation between A.D. Pirous\, Kenneth M. George and exhibition curator Anissa Rahadiningtyas as they explore Pirous’s works in “The Neglected Dimension” while delving deeper into the process of making his prints and paintings and the stories behind them.\nThis event is supported by Serambi Pirous and CIVAS | Center for Indonesian Visual Art Studies\, Bandung Institute of Technology.\n\n—\nAbout the speakers\n\nABDUL DJALIL PIROUS graduated from the Department of Fine Arts\, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) (1964) and from the Rochester Institute of Technology\, Rochester NY\, United States (1969)\, where he studied printmaking and graphic design. Upon his return to Indonesia\, he pioneered graphic design education at the Fine Arts Department of ITB and founded art and design studio Decenta in 1973. Subsequently\, he served as the first Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Design ITB (1984–1990) and was an ITB Professor since 1994. He then built private gallery Serambi Pirous in 1992. He has been widely exhibited on a national and international scale. A complete description of his life and works can be read in the book “A.D. Pirous: Vision\, Faith\, and a Journey in Indonesian Art\, 1955–2002” and “Painting Islam; Charity and Ethics of Islamic Art in Indonesia”.\n\nKENNETH M. GEORGE is Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at the Australian National University\, having served previously at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, at Harvard University\, and as Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies (2005–2008). Ken’s ethnographic and art historical research in Asia began with a decade of work on the cultural politics of ritual violence in highland Sulawesi\, Indonesia. He subsequently conducted a long-term project on contemporary Southeast Asian Islamic art in collaboration with Indonesian painter\, A. D. Pirous—a project supported by fellowships from the Aga Khan Trust for Culture\, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities (USA)\, among others. The fruits from that collaboration can be found in his book\, “Picturing Islam: Art and Ethics in a Muslim Lifeworld” (2010)\, in numerous articles and book chapters\, and in a recent lecture at the Musée National d’Art Moderne—Centre Pompidou and Bibliothèque Kandinsky\, Paris.\n\nANISSA RAHADININGTYAS is an art historian who earned her Ph.D. in Art History at Cornell University for her research on the position and question of Islamic religiosity\, rituals and performances in works of modern and contemporary art in Indonesia. She is currently an Assistant Curator of Islamic aesthetics in modern and contemporary Southeast Asia at National Gallery Singapore. Her research interests include comparative modernisms\, Indian Ocean studies\, postcolonial and decolonial theories\, gender and feminism\, environmentalism and Islamic studies.\n\n—\nAbout the exhibition\n\n“The Neglected Dimension” explores the period from the 1960s onward when calligraphy and abstraction became prominent modes of artistic production in Islamic art in Indonesia. This exhibition introduces four artists associated with the modernist artistic training in Bandung\, Indonesia\, a key site where experimentations with Arabic calligraphy and different forms of abstraction took place. The artists are Ahmad Sadali (1924 – 1987)\, A.D. Pirous (b. 1932)\, Haryadi Suadi (1938 – 2016)\, and Arahmaiani (b. 1961).\n\nThe exhibition will be housed in National Gallery Singapore’s Dalam Southeast Asia Gallery from 7 July to February 2024.

SUMMARY:An Artist Talk with Chng Nai Wee
DESCRIPTION:An Artist Talk with Chng Nai Wee \nSat\, 19 Aug | 3pm | Supreme Court Wing\, Level 5\, Glass Room | Free\, registration required: https://bit.ly/ChngNaiWee \n—\nFeaturing six figures on 12 television monitors that embody six forms of crises in society—War\, Disease\, Poverty\, Famine\, Disaster and Refugee—Dr Chng Nai Wee’s work “Sin of Apathy” (1991) envelopes viewers within a field of monochromatic and coloured screens in a darkened space.\nOne of the earliest multi-channel video works made in Singapore\, “Sin of Apathy” was prompted by what Chng felt was a critical condition of Singapore society in 1990s: indifference. Created as a response to the 1991 National Sculpture Exhibition\, it also challenges the conventional notions of visual arts in Singapore at the time.\n\nIn this conversation between the artist and exhibition curator Cheng Jia Yun\, hear more about the challenges and opportunities for artists in the early days of the internet as they discuss more about “Sin of Apathy” and Chng’s long-standing engagement with technology and art. They will also share more about his website\, biotechnics.org\, which is one of the earliest web directories built for artists in Singapore\, and his early work consisting of assemblage\, video and synthetic material.\n\n—\nAbout the Artist\nChng Nai Wee (b. 1969\, Singapore)\, a practising ophthalmic surgeon\, is also an artist. Chng’s works are multidisciplinary\, often synthesising art\, technology\, and medicine\, and made with a range of mediums and approaches\, from mixed-media paintings to installations. He attended part-time classes at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts\, Singapore and graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and National University of Singapore\, and attended Yale University School of Architecture. He has received the Singapore Art Society Dr Tan Tsze Chor Art Award\, the National Art Council Young Artist Award\, and Honorable Mentions at the Phillip Morris ASEAN Art Awards.\n\n—\nAbout the Exhibition\nJoin us on a journey back in time to find out and explore the history of video installation art. This two-part series offers a fascinating look at the pivotal moments when video installation first emerged in the 1980s and 1990s\, staged and recreated at the latest “See Me\, See You: Early Video Installation of Southeast Asia” exhibition.\nThrough experimentation\, these ten Southeast Asian Artists combined installation\, performance\, audience participation together with video\, leading to a new form of art as a result of their interdisciplinary approach.\n\nIn its first installment\, featuring works by Apinan Poshyananda (Thailand)\, Baharudin Mohd Arus (Malaysia)\, Chng Nai Wee (Singapore)\, Johnny Manahan (Philippines) and Jean Marie Syjuco (Philippines).\n\nThe second part\, opening in October\, will showcase works by Heri Dono (Indonesia)\, Hasnul Saidon (Malaysia)\, Ray Langenbach (Malaysia)\, Vincent Leow (Singapore) and Krisna Murti (Indonesia).\n\nFor more details\, please visit nationalgallery.sg/SeeMeSeeYou

SUMMARY:Proyek Bendera (Flag Project): Artist Talk and Participatory Workshop by Arahmaiani
DESCRIPTION:“Proyek Bendera” (Flag Project): Artist Talk and Participatory Workshop by Arahmaiani\nSat 5 Aug | 1.30 – 4.30pm | Supreme Court Wing\, UOB Southeast Asia Gallery\, Level 3\, Dalam Southeast Asia | S$5\, registration required: https://bit.ly/ProyekBendera\n\nImportant note: Participants are advised to prepare for approximately 45 minutes of walking and carrying of flags\, which will include stair climbing\, and to dress in comfortable attire.\n\n—\nArtist Arahmaiani is widely known for her performance and installation works that address social\, political\, religious and environmental issues. Beginning in Yogyakarta in 2006\, “Proyek Bendera” (Flag Project) is a series of nomadic\, community-based and collaborative performances initiated by Arahmaiani which incorporate colourful flags with Jawi words inscribed onto them. The words on the flags reflect ideas that originate from diverse societies and cultures which draw attention to the impermanence of the physical world as well as the importance of having a sense of belonging and love\, as well as local knowledge and wisdom.\n\nIn many iterations of “Proyek Bendera”\, Arahmaiani worked closely with local communities to discuss ideas and visions based on particular problems that they face\, and helped to inscribe these concepts onto the flags used for their collaborative performances. They demonstrate her commitment to engage in transcultural and interreligious dialogues that often intersect with environmental concerns.\n\nThe exhibition “The Neglected Dimension” explores Arahmaiani’s practice alongside other artists from Indonesia who have reimagined the potentialities of Arabic calligraphic writing and expressions of spirituality.\n\nJoin us for an exciting programme as the artist shares more about “Proyek Bendera” and her work “Crossing Point” in the exhibition\, followed by a workshop. The workshop will culminate in a collaborative performance using the artist’s flags.\n\n—\nAbout the Artist\n\nArahmaiani is globally known for her performance and installation works that boldly address social\, political\, religious\, and environmental issues. Born in 1961 in Bandung\, Indonesia\, in the 1980s she established herself as a pioneer in the field of performance art in Southeast Asia. Her work has dealt with issues that include contemporary politics\, violence\, critique of capital\, the female body\, and in recent years\, her own identity—although she identifies as Muslim\, she also mediates between Islamic\, Hindu\, Buddhist\, and animist beliefs.\n\nShe often uses her public presence to raise awareness about violence in general\, particularly violence or discrimination against women in Indonesia’s Islamic society. Since the September 11 attacks\, she has combined her critical attitude towards Islam with a fight against its general stigmatisation. She has engaged with several communities in Yogyakarta and different parts of the world\, including Pesantren Amumarta\, one of the oldest Islamic boarding schools in Yogyakarta (since 2006) and with Tibetan monks on the Tibetan Plateau dealing with environmental issues (since 2010). Arahmaiani has been teaching in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Passau in Germany since 2012.\n\n—\nAbout Dalam Southeast Asia\n\nDalam Southeast Asia is a project space located within the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery. Projects presented here ask critical questions and explore lesser-known narratives in Southeast Asian art\, while rethinking what a collections-based display is\, and what it may seek to achieve.\n\n—\nAbout the exhibition\n\n“The Neglected Dimension” explores the period from the 1960s onward when calligraphy and abstraction became prominent modes of artistic production in Islamic art in Indonesia. This exhibition introduces four artists associated with the modernist artistic training in Bandung\, Indonesia\, a key site where experimentations with Arabic calligraphy and different forms of abstraction took place. The artists are Ahmad Sadali (1924 – 1987)\, A.D. Pirous (b. 1932)\, Haryadi Suadi (1938 – 2016)\, and Arahmaiani (b. 1961).\n\nThe exhibition will be housed in National Gallery Singapore’s Dalam Southeast Asia Gallery from 7 July to February 2024.

Born in 1961 in Bandung\, Indonesia\, in the 1980s she established herself as a pioneer in the field of performance art in Southeast Asia. Her work has dealt with issues that include contemporary politics\, violence\, critique of capital\, the female body\, and in recent years\, her own identity—although she identifies as Muslim\, she also mediates between Islamic\, Hindu\, Buddhist\, and animist beliefs.\n\nShe often uses her public presence to raise awareness about violence in general\, particularly violence or discrimination against women in Indonesia’s Islamic society. Since the September 11 attacks\, she has combined her critical attitude towards Islam with a fight against its general stigmatisation. She has engaged with several communities in Yogyakarta and different parts of the world\, including Pesantren Amumarta\, one of the oldest Islamic boarding schools in Yogyakarta (since 2006) and with Tibetan monks on the Tibetan Plateau dealing with environmental issues (since 2010). Arahmaiani has been teaching in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Passau in Germany since 2012.\n\n—\nAbout Dalam Southeast Asia\n\nDalam Southeast Asia is a project space located within the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery. Projects presented here ask critical questions and explore lesser-known narratives in Southeast Asian art\, while rethinking what a collections-based display is\, and what it may seek to achieve.\n\n—\nAbout the exhibition\n\n“The Neglected Dimension” explores the period from the 1960s onward when calligraphy and abstraction became prominent modes of artistic production in Islamic art in Indonesia. This exhibition introduces four artists associated with the modernist artistic training in Bandung\, Indonesia\, a key site where experimentations with Arabic calligraphy and different forms of abstraction took place. The artists are Ahmad Sadali (1924 – 1987)\, A.D. Pirous (b. 1932)\, Haryadi Suadi (1938 – 2016)\, and Arahmaiani (b. 1961).\n\nThe exhibition will be housed in National Gallery Singapore’s Dalam Southeast Asia Gallery from 7 July to February 2024.

SUMMARY:Thweep Rittinaphakorn on "Unseen Burma: Early Photography 1862–1962"
DESCRIPTION:Sun 18 Jun | 3.00pm | National Gallery Singapore\, Supreme Court Wing\, Level 5\, Glass Room \n \n“Unseen Burma: Early Photography 1862–1962” presents a curated set of rare images from his personal collection that brings readers through different facets of Burmese culture and heritage. Rittinaphakorn uses 1962—the year of the Burmese coup d’etat which overthrew the civilian government under prime minister U Nu—as the starting point and looks back to the colonial era in the late 1800s. In this talk by the author himself\, Rittinaphakorn will share the research process behind his book and highlight selected images\, including those of King Thibaw and Queen Suphyalat\, Burma’s last royal couple. This will be followed by a conversation between the author and Peter Lee where they will share more about their individual collections and collecting practices.\n\n—\nAbout the Speakers \nThweep Rittinaphakorn (AKE) is an independent scholar whose work focuses mainly on textiles and arts history of mainland Southeast Asia. He is a textiles curator of the Siam Society’s collection and a regular speaker for the Siam Society\, Thai Textiles Society and the Bangkok National Museum Volunteer group.
