SUMMARY:Now Showing: Karaoke! Playing the ♯ and ♭
DESCRIPTION:Annexe\, Objectifs\n14 Sep 2024\, 7.30pm\nEntry by donation \n—  \nRelated events\nPlaying the ♯ and ♭ Zine-making Workshop (Register here)\n14 Sep 2024\, 5pm–6.30 pm\n$10 per pax\nJoin us for a zine-making workshop revolving around music in film! \n—  \nEveryone is welcome to sing! – that is the general mantra of karaoke. Since its invention\, karaoke has evolved into a cultural and popular phenomenon\, specifically in Asian countries like Japan\, Hong Kong\, Philippines\, and Vietnam. In these lands\, singing takes various forms and is carried out in locations such as bars\, KTVs\, homes\, cafes\, weddings\, and funerals. The communal act is not only entertaining and fun\, it can also provide a sense of comfort and familiarity. \nExploring the social impact of this beloved activity\, Karaoke! Playing the ♯ and ♭ presents short films where realities\, dreams\, and fears converge with the act of singing. Whether as a form of escapism\, the yearning for something more\, or a chance to dance the night away – these films invite you to experience the rhythm of their world. \nThis screening is part of Objectifs’ new quarterly film programme\, Now Showing\, which highlights the artistic\, playful\, and expressive form of short and medium length films. Beyond film screenings\, the programme is also a space for discussions and activities.

SUMMARY:[Collected on Paper] Occasion #1: Time Capsules
DESCRIPTION:A book showcase initiated by Hong Shu-ying \n14 Sep to 21 Dec 2024\nObjectifs Library\nFree admission \nRelated events\nBook Sharing (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Wed 2 Oct\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Workshop Space\nFree admission \nBook Club #1: Time Capsules (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Thu 14 Nov\, 7.30pm – 9pm\nLocation: Objectifs Annexe\nFree admission \nPREMISE \n“[collected on paper] has a simple premise. It intends to combine: \n\nthe magic of hearing an artist or bookmaker share about their process\, and\nthe luxury of time and comfort when reading in a library.\n\nAn art book is a curious object—it’s an artwork you can touch and carry around. It can have pictures and texts\, or many pictures and no text\, or even texts and no pictures. \nArt books afford a private space and mode of encounter that can be revisited freely and repeatedly. While I love the conversations surrounding books and their makers at an art fair\, it’s an awfully extroverted endeavour. [collected on paper] offers a chance to explore different art books and the creators’ thoughts in an intimate setting\, with notes on their processes and materials.” \nMODE \nA selection of books will be presented alongside a book club under a particular idea on each occasion. The showcase is held within an existing art book library\, allowing the books to be encountered in the context of other art books. \nThe first occasion will reflect on the idea of time capsules. On this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\n[collected on paper] is co-programmed by Hong Shu-ying and Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film. \n\nOccasion #1: Time Capsules  \nA time capsule is a container where things are well-kept and protected from the elements. I’ve always found it fascinating that everyday objects can become archived and emblematic of their era once they are placed in a time capsule. These items aren’t necessarily exclusive or rare but serve as a snapshot of what the capsule’s creator valued at that moment. The very existence of a time capsule implies that care and resources have been dedicated to preserving these objects. \nOn this occasion\, the books selected for discussions related to time capsules contain images that share certain qualities with the capsules themselves: \n\nmost of the images in these books were not originally intended to become part of a book.\nthese images\, like most in books\, gain additional readings over time\, but they also become irreplicable\, as the shift in time directly impacts their context.\n\nBooks Featured 📚📚📚 \n\nAparna Nori – 24 Slides\nGeorge Wong – Wallet\nLai Yu Tong – Things I Bought\, Things I Threw Away\, Things I Ate\, Things I Saw\, Things I Made\, and Other Things (For Future Reference)\nLou / Atelier HOKO – Spider & Man\n\n\nAbout Hong Shu-ying \nHong Shu-ying 方舒颖 is an artist who collects and works with found images and materials. She recontextualises familiar sights and sounds to highlight patterns\, repetitions\, and contradictions related to inheritance and ways of learning. \nHer recent projects delve into informal archives\, which act like personal and communal time capsules that encapsulate the banalities and peculiarities of life. These include handwritten elements found in scores and annotations\, alongside amateur videos and images. This fascination is informed by her experiences growing up in amateur Chinese orchestras and the internet. \nShu holds a BFA (Hons) in Media Art (Photography) from Nanyang Technological University\, School of Art\, Design\, and Media. She was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography and featured in the 6th Women in Film and Photography Showcase by Objectifs (Singapore).

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Don’t show me | 唔好俾我睇
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Donna Chiu\nCurated by Zhuang Wubin \n19 Jul to 18 Aug 2024\nObjectifs Lower Gallery 2\n\nOpening: Fri 19 Jul 2024\, 7pm – 9pm\nFree admission \nRelated events\nArtist Talk with Donna Chiu & Zhuang Wubin (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 27 Jul\, 2pm – 3pm\nLocation: Objectifs Annexe\nFree admission \nPsychodrama Workshop:Untangling Family Web (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 3 Aug\, 4pm – 7pm\nLocation: Objectifs Workshop Space\nGeneral Admission: $20/pax\nOpen to participants aged 18 years and above. \n“唔好俾我睇 [‘Don’t show me’ in Cantonese]!” That was the retort of Donna Chiu’s mother in one of her quarrels with dad. With the phrase as starting point\, Chiu begins a journey of introspection\, using the processes of photography and painting to move beyond her initial frustrations and misconceptions towards her mother. Chiu realised she has often downplayed her mother’s experiences; over the years\, her mother has had to survive within the patriarchal structure of family and society in Hong Kong before external circumstances forced her and her children to relocate and live in different cities. By using her artmaking to dialogue with her mother\, Chiu hopes to better understand her mother and see her in a different light. \nThis exhibition is supported by \nNational Arts Council Singapore\nObjectifs Centre for Photography and Film \n  \nAbout Donna Chiu \nDonna Chiu is a Singaporean visual artist. Her practice focuses mainly on photography and painting. Using art to make sense of the world\, Chiu’s work unfolds an introspective dialogue with herself and often takes the form of abstraction. In recent years\, her artistic process has evolved into a cathartic journey of self-reflection\, delving into the depths of emotional trauma experienced by herself and the people around her. As a result\, her work has become an exploration of intimacy and human vulnerability\, and the intricate interplay between individuals and the circumstances that confront them. \nChiu’s work has been exhibited in Asia and Europe. In 2023\, she mounted her first solo exhibition\, titled Sitting by the Window\, Looking at the Painting Dry\, at Lumenvisum\, Hong Kong. Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions\, including the Singapore International Photography Festival (2016)\, Obscura Festival of Photography (Malaysia\, 2018)\, A(R)TITUDE Festival (Italy\, 2022)\, and the International Exhibition of the Society of Modern Photography & Video (South Korea\, 2023). \nAbout Zhuang Wubin \nZhuang Wubin is a writer who makes photographs\, publications and exhibitions. Zhuang is the major grantee of the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Greater China Research Grant 2018 and a recipient of the Prince Claus Fund research grant (2010). In Singapore\, Zhuang is the recipient of the National Library (NL) Digital Fellowship 2023 and the Lee Kong Chian Research Fellowship 2017 at the NL. He has been invited to research residency programmes at Institute Technology of Bandung (2013)\, Asia Art Archive (AAA)\, Hong Kong (2015)\, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts\, Taiwan (2017) and the Ha Bik Chuen Archive Project at AAA (2018). He is the contributing curator of the Chiang Mai Photo Festival (2015\, 2017\, 2020). \nPublished by NUS Press\, Photography in Southeast Asia: A Survey (2016) is his fourth book. The Chinese translation is published in 2019 by VOP BOOKS\, Taipei. Zhuang is a founding member of Writing Foto (writingfoto.wordpress.com)\, a growing collection of writings on photography loosely directed at the imaginaries of South/east Asia.

SUMMARY:Objectifs Documentary Award
DESCRIPTION:From 18 May to 16 Jun 2024\, Objectifs Centre presents 3 works by recipients of the Objectifs Documentary Award 2023. \nAn Elephant’s Eye\nFeaturing works by Choulay Mech (Cambodia)\nRecipient of the Objectifs Documentary Award 2023\, Open Category\nMentor and Curator: Roger Nelson \nChapel Gallery\, Objectifs \nOpening | 18 May 2024\, 12pm – 7pm\nArtist Talk with Choulay Mech and Roger Nelson | 18 May 2024\, 2.30pm – 3.30pm (Register here) \nIn this exhibition\, Choulay Mech invites us to consider an elephant’s place in the world\, and to imagine the world as it is experienced by elephants. The artist proposes a multi-species view of the entangled intersections between nature and history\, religion and violence\, humans and other animals. Her intuitive and poetic approach layers photography\, video\, and found objects\, and draws on long-term research. \nChoulay pays particular attention to the impact on elephants of ongoing environmental destruction in Cambodia\, the country’s recent history of war and widespread violence\, and the spiritual beliefs combining Buddhism with animism which shape the attitudes of many Cambodians. \n—\nSunshine \nFeaturing works by Lê Nguyên Phương (Vietnam)\nRecipient of the Objectifs Documentary Award\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Ng Swan Ti \nLower Gallery 2\, Objectifs \nOpening | 18 May 2024\, 12pm – 9pm\nArtist Talk with Lê Nguyên Phương and Dan Tran | 18 May 2024\, 4pm – 5pm (Register here) \nSunshine\, an inner-western suburb of Melbourne\, is home to a Vietnamese-Australian community that started to grow in the 1970s\, when a large number of refugees from the American War in Vietnam were settled in Australia. Today\, the suburb contains multiple facsimiles of Vietnam in its community practices and environment – references to and longing for a home country that many first-generation immigrants continue to hold close to their hearts. In documenting the suburb\, Phương Nguyên Lê addresses notions of diaspora\, national identity and longing. \n— \nMangaramoti Tano Ni Ompung (To Bless the Mother’s Land)\nFeaturing works by Kaleb Sitompul (Indonesia)\nRecipient of the Objectifs Documentary Award 2023\, Emerging Category\nMentored by Ng Swan Ti \nLower Gallery 1\, Objectifs \nOpening | 18 May 2024\, 12pm – 7pm\nArtist Talk with Kaleb Sitompul and Ng Swan Ti | 18 May 2024\, 1pm – 2pm (Register here) \nThe Opung Raja Nasomalomarhohos Pasaribu (Natinggir Forest Indigenous Community) is a Batak tribe that has resided in the highlands of Toba in North Sumatra\, Indonesia\, for over 300 years. They are one of the area’s oldest indigenous residents. The tribe has a deep spiritual and emotional connection to the land from years of living in and managing the forest\, with the frankincense tree occupying a special place in their folklore and beliefs. Aside for using the land for farming and gathering\, they harvest the fragrant resin of frankincense trees\, a practice that has been in place for generations. \nThe tribe’s ancestral lands have slowly been encroached upon by eucalyptus plantations established by a major company that pulps eucalyptus trees for industrial purposes. These plantations have turned a vibrant ecosystem into a monoculture; the frankincense trees that used to grow plentifully are disappearing and the land has been left bereft\, threatening the tribe’s traditional livelihoods and practices. \nAbout the Objectifs Documentary Award\nThe Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making\, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region. The Award enables photographers to work on new or existing projects\, encouraging them to tell stories about their native communities. It welcomes different creative approaches to non-fiction storytelling\, from conventional documentary photography to visual experiments. Projects may be presented in still images or use multimedia. \nSuccessful recipients will be given professional and financial support to work on their projects over a 6 month-long period. The final works are exhibited at Objectifs each year. \nOpen Call for Objectifs Documentary Award here.

SUMMARY:The Yearning for Harmony
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Ryhan M.Y. \n18 to 31 May 2024\nObjectifs Annexe \n\nOpening: Sat 18 May 2024\, 7pm – 9pm\nFree admission \nExhibition programmes: \nArtist Talk (RSVP here)\nFri 31 May 2024\, 7:30pm – 8:45pm\nObjectifs Workshop Space \nHow do you learn to call a place in which you have no direct connection to\, home? \nSince 2019 Ryhan has been residing in Japan working within the agriculture sector. From farming green tea to researching sea salt\, practising photography has provided her with a way of reconciling the paradoxical feelings of discomfort and joy while exploring her new home. This creative outlet became especially poignant during a time when borders in Japan were closed and there were numerous insecurities about the future. \nEach photograph chosen represents a specific moment of beauty and longing for Ryhan. When being in the present also alludes to a well grieved past\, this yearning for harmony between nostalgia and the allure of new memories is the fabric of her unapologetically human behaviour. \nShot primarily on film\, each photograph is accompanied by Ryhan’s honest thoughts on tackling the harsh realities that came with making her dreams a reality. Trying to bridge the disconnect between the person she was when she left Singapore\, and who she is now. \nRyhan has since also collaborated with two other artists\, DaybyDae and MZA\, in an attempt to make the rootlessness\, tangible. Through the medium of pottery and music\, both collaborators were given the freedom to interpret the photographs in their own voice. \n\nRyhan M.Y.\nFull-time farmer\, part-time photographer; the quiet of the countryside is where Ryhan finds her loudest bursts of creativity.

SUMMARY:Silhouettes of Having Been
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen \n4 to 28 Apr 2024\nObjectifs Lower Gallery 2 \nOpening: Thu 4 Apr 2024\, 7pm – 9pm\nFree admission \nRelated events\nAnalog Filmmaking: The Basics and Experimentations (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 27 Apr\, 2pm – 6pm\nLocation: Objectifs Workshop Space\nFee: $80 (General admission) | $50 (participants aged 35 and under)\nThis workshop is supported by the National Youth Fund (NYF). \nSilhouettes of Having Been is an exhibition by Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen\, devised as a response to the site of Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film. Focusing on fallen hair strands as a central material\, it is a reflection and turning of attention toward physical presences and the possibilities in being together between time and images. The invisible becomes visible and the minute becomes magnificent as teeming lines are silhouetted against light. \nOver a period of time\, fallen hair strands by people passing through Objectifs were collected. The hair strands were adhered to film loops running through 16mm and Super 8 projectors\, in a live expanded cinema performance taking place before the exhibition. This was done alongside live modifications of the performed film with ink and lenticular interventions\, in combination with an improvisational soundscape with the film loops prepared as percussive elements. As a result\, the film loops were physically altered by the live process\, creating a unique\, unrepeatable moving image piece that forms the core of the exhibition. \nIn the exhibition\, Chua and Lam wish to invite an encounter with the materiality and speculative fictions of fallen hair as a bodily response which silently traces our existences. What do they say and express\, these silhouettes of having been? \nAbout Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen \nMark Chua and Lam Li Shuen are a Singaporean filmmaker and artist duo. Their films explore existential anxiety\, alienation\, and histories\, often using surrealistic imagery\, bizarre narratives\, and body horror as social commentary. \nTheir films have screened at international film festivals\, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam (2023)\, New Directors/New Films (2023)\, and BFI London Film Festival (2021). In 2021\, they were awarded Best Southeast Asian Director at the Singapore International Film Festival for their short film A Man Trembles. Their short film\, The Cup also received the First Prize (Moving Images) of the Julius Baer Next Generation Art Prize in 2021. \nThey are currently developing their upcoming feature film The Want\, which was selected to participate in Berlinale Talents Script Station 2024\, mylab+@Jogja 2023 and Talents Tokyo 2023.

SUMMARY:Guided Photowalk: Discover Tanglin Halt & Wessex Estate
DESCRIPTION:Visually document and juxtapose different sights of Singaporean ‘heritage’ in this photowalk that will wind through Tanglin Halt and Wessex Estate. \nDuration\n2h over 1 session \nCourse Description\nOnce the living quarters of British servicemen from the 1930s to the 1970s\, Wessex Estate still boasts of a unique and idyllic charm that is hard to find elsewhere in Singapore. Lined with black-and-white colonial apartment blocks that are situated next to sprawling fields with their strategically planted trees\, the serene estate not only harkens to the country’s colonial past\, but also the troops’ attempts to transform a piece of Singapore into a place reminiscent of home. \nThis purposefully-crafted route will first take participants through the quickly transforming Tanglin Halt heartlands and parts of the Rail Corridor before arriving at Wessex Estate. Participants will get the opportunity to visually document and juxtapose – not to mention\, contemplate – vastly different sights of local ‘heritage’. The route will end at Colbar Cafe\, a quaint old-school eatery situated next to Wessex Estate. \nIf you are looking to experience and learn more about Singapore by going off the beaten path to explore her hidden gems\, as well as train your eye to photograph the unique compositions and shapes of the architectural features and scenic landscapes in these areas\, wait no further – come join us for this guided photowalk! \nPlease register via the form on our website. \n\nSession Fee\n$60 \nInstructor \nTom White \nCourse Overview \nThe class will meet at Tanglin Halt Market and dismiss from Colbar Cafe along Whitchurch Road. More information on the exact meeting point will be communicated via email prior to the start of the session. \nThe session will focus on the following: \n• Compositional tips\n• Architectural photography\n• Nature photography\n• Review of images in group sharing session \nRequirements\nParticipants are to bring their own cameras that they are comfortable with for this workshop. Smartphones are suitable as well. \nAs the session entails walking outdoor for approximately 2km\, please dress suitably and bring along an umbrella/hat and sufficient hydration.

SUMMARY:Threads\, an exhibition by Alexander Treves
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the global issue of human displacement in this photo exhibition\, one of the foremost challenges facing society in the 21st Century.\nBy Alexander Treves \n9 to 24 Mar 2024\nLower Gallery 1\, Objectifs\nFree admission \nExhibition Opening: Sat\, 9 Mar 2024\, 3pm \nProgrammes\nThreads of Humanity: Facing Refugee Realities\nSat\, 9 Mar 2024\, 5 to 6.30pm (RSVP here) \nAbout the Exhibition \nAccording to the United Nations\, today over 108 million people around the world are forcibly displaced by persecution\, conflict and violence. If this population made up a country\, it would be the 15th largest on the planet. \nThis is one of the foremost challenges facing society in the 21st Century. Economic and political instability\, human caused climate change and the interconnectedness of the modern world are all key drivers of migration. Refugees are among the most vulnerable\, migrating because they have little or no choice but to do so. \nThe large and growing community of refugees and other displaced people is spread widely around the globe. “Threads” features photographs taken in over 20 countries\, focusing on the people impacted by these systemic drivers of the refugee crisis\, emphasizing our shared humanity with those who find themselves in very difficult circumstances. \nAbout the Artist \nAlexander Treves has photographed refugees and other displaced people in over 20 countries.  He aims to use photography not just to document issues that he cares about\, but also to raise awareness and money to assist with the underlying problems.

SUMMARY:Natural Light Portraiture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn to take beautifully illuminated and atmospheric portraits by manipulating and working with natural light.\nCourse Description \nThere is arguably no factor more essential and crucial than light in photography (a word whose etymology also means ‘drawing with light’). A key element to improving one’s photography skills lies in learning how to control and manipulate light\, not only to adjust brightness\, but also create an intended tone\, mood\, and atmosphere. \nIn this workshop\, you will get to explore how to make the best use of natural lighting when it comes to portraiture\, in both indoor and outdoor settings. Through a series of quick exercises\, you will discover how to: \n\nJudge natural light quality effectively\nPosition your subject accurately\nUse reflectors and backgrounds to improvise available light\nCreate an intended mood successfully\nPrepare for a smoother shooting session\n\nIf you’ve always wanted to learn how to take headshots suitable for use on LinkedIn\, in resume portfolios\, and for general professional use without the use of special lighting equipment\, this workshop is for you! \nPlease register on our website. \nWorkshop fee\n$80 \nInstructor\nAparna Nori \nTechnical Requirements\nBasic photography proficiency will be helpful. Participants may shoot with a smartphone but the use of a DSLR or mirrorless camera is encouraged if possible and accessible\, as it allows for a greater range of technical possibilities. \nObjectifs has a limited set of cameras for loan and use during the workshop. Please drop us an email at info@objectifs.com.sg upon registration to let us know if you need to borrow a camera during the workshop.
