Project Art Outreach, Gillman Barracks, Singapore
Special Programme: Performance by Tang Da Wu
20 January 2024, Saturday
6 - 7pm
Held at Gillman Barracks Carpark B
Highlighting our artistic legacies and offering a unique art experience, Art Outreach will present a re-staging of a performance installation titled Our Children by the seminal artist Tang Da Wu. The work refers to a parable from Chinese opera in Teochew, in which a young boy experiences a humbling moment of enlightenment at the sight of a kneeling baby goat being fed by its mother. It speaks to the values of filial piety and educating future generations.
In addition to witnessing a rousing performance activation on the opening weekend of Singapore Art Week, visitors will also have the opportunity to embroider onto the original 2017 tapestry and delve into Tang Da Wu's work, which attests to the long history and depth of contemporary and performative arts practices in Singapore.
Addressing the enduring and wide appeal of the themes present in the work, a focused selection of works from private collections around the themes of tapestry and craft, as well as parent-child relationships, will also be displayed.
