Art Fare

Moments is a visual art exhibition which will feature the works of 9 up and coming local artists. The exhibition is inspired by the contradictions between the essence and (often) the absence of time in modern day living. This irony is sometimes amplified by people’s obsession to chase time without realizing that its awareness defines the notion of its existence. By camouflaging the exhibition in the backdrop of a commercial lifestyle mall along the bustling Orchard Road, the group of young and aspiring artists involved in Moments share their interpretations of this precious, transcendental dimension. Artists Participating in the exhibition are; Ruben Pang, Hilmi Johann, Jana, Weixin, KC Gan, Nelson Lim, Eunice, Dorothy Lim and Roshi Rao. 22-29 Mar at Orchard Central - Level 4 & 5.

On March 18, Singapore artist Yeo Shih Yun and Danish artist Rune Søchting will present a screening of their very first artistic collaboration. During a short and intense collaboration, they have developed a piece based on the investigation of sound and the moving image.In the work they explore the intermediary space between visuality and aurality playing with the idea of the musical score not as a fixed set of symbols, but as a dynamic and chance-generating system. This will be a unique opportunity to experience the premier screening. 18 March, 4:30 pm at LASALLE, College of the Arts.
