Sight - An Oracular Insight ( A Singapore Art blog)

" Art's ultimate value lies in its ability to contain, in surprising intimacy, something of the man's world, past and present. It represents a human encounter that promises meaning. In the degree to which it reconciles man to nature, to his own domain, his own condition, and his own authentic self,art extends the individual beyond the limits of his restricted field. It broadens the dimensions of reality by transforming sight into " a kind of oracular insight." - Singapore Art Blogger

Singapore to curate and present art exhibition in Seoul

I have been getting a bunch of hits from Korea. Here's why...

Singapore has been invited to participate in an exhibition in South Korea.

Called City_net Asia 2007, it will be held at the Seoul Museum of Art from 10 October to 11 November.

Singapore is the first Southeast Asian country that has been invited to curate at the event, and Singapore Art Museum (SAM)’s curator, Ms Joyce Fan, will be in charge.

The works of eight local artists will be featured at the exhibition.

These artists are Tan Kai Syng, Tang Ling Nah, Terence Lin, Jeremy Sharma, Rizman Putra, Vincent Leow, Ye Shufang and Michael Lee.

Their works will focus on the theme of ’DomestiCity’, showing how art is created within Singapore’s urban spaces.

The project will feature the works of a total of 60 artists from SAM, South Korea’s Seoul Museum of Art, China’s Guangdong Art Museum and Japan’s Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art.
