Group Exhibition The Substation, Singapore
"Open Ends" is an exhibition of images, objects and videos documenting the range of performance art practised by Singapore artists over the past 2 decades. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring interviews with visual artists who have been involved in performance art. The exhibition and catalogue is the first phase of a long term research and documentation project into performance art, initiated by artists, which has been on-going since last year.
This is the first phase of a long-term research and documentation plan initiated by Singapore artists. Open Ends will exhibit photographs, slides, text and videos documenting the range of performance art practiced by Singapore artists over the past 2 decades. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring interviews with visual artists who have practiced performance art, including Amanda Heng, Suzann Victor, Tang Da Wu, Teo Eng Seng, Vincent Leow, Lee Wen, Ray Langenbach, Noor Effendy Ibrahim, Felicia Low, Jeremy Hiah, Margaret Tan, and others. The title of the exhibition reflects the ongoing process of this project. Materials collected and interviews conducted will be kept in an archive to be housed for the moment at The Substation.
The exhibition and publication of the catalogue are overseen by a committee that includes Amanda Heng, Matthew Ngui, Susie Lingham and Lee Wen and The Substation's team (Lee Weng Choy, Audrey Wong, Celine Yeo). The interviewers working on the catalogue are Chu Chu Yuan, Brandon Wee, John Low, Sinclair Ang, Suzann Victor, Wong Chee Meng, Wilkie Tan and Low Kee Hong. The aim of the exhibition is historical, documentary and educational, showing the different approaches taken by various artists practicing that genre known as performance art, and situating this within visual art history. The exhibition will also reflect the different points of view among Singapore artists on the nature of performance art.
