Decolonizing Singapore Art, Practice and Curriculum in Post-Colonial Globalization Coming into Intelligibility: Decolonizing Singapore Art, Practice and Curriculum in Post-colonial Globalization DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bee Kim Koh Graduate Program in Art Education The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Christine Ballengee-Morris, Adviser Professor Deborah Smith-Shank, Adviser Professor Sydney Walker Professor Amy Shuman Copyright by Bee Kim Koh 2014 Abstract This study examines how select aspects of art and practice are apprehended in Singapore, in terms of how they come into being, how they are known, lived and responded to. Situated within the broader context of postcolonial globalization, the study considers how art and practice can be understood within situated conditions in Singapore as a means towards decolonizing the pre-constitution of subjectivity of Singapore art in the curriculum. This qualitative research uses grounded theory, Adele Clark’s situational analysis and case study to examine the interviews and works of six art/design practitioners. The work draws on concepts from Karen Barad’s theory on the materialization of entities in human and non-human actions and relations, Michel Foucault’s grid of intelligibility, and Appadurai’s disjuncture and difference in the global cultural economy. Using these concepts, the study considers how subjectivities are made intelligible or constituted within physical-discursive conditions in phenomena. The research investigates how practitioners come to know aspects of art and practice; how they experience, enact, and act against pre-existing subjectivities embedded in structures of practice; and how they respond to these structures in and through their work. The study examines how art/design practitioners traverse and transgress pre-existing subjectivities, and reconfigured these ii dynamically through splicing strategies in their ongoing becoming in the global cultural economy. iii For Jason, Lisa and Matthew iv Acknowledgments To Jesus, the Word and Author of Life, the true Author of this work, to You, be all glory, honor and praise.

The transformational experiences described in the book offer a multitude of ways in which learning is organized and applied to advance a nation’s productive structures and build competitive advantage in the global economy.’ Michael H Best, Professor Emeritus, Author of How Growth Really Happens: The Making of Economic Miracles through Production, Governance and Skills, Winner of the 2018 Schumpeter Prize ‘The analysis of development and catching-up has finally shifted away from sur- real problems of ‘optimal’ market-driven allocation of resources, toward the processes of learning and capability accumulation.

Theatre Research International, 42(3), 286-306. C. J. W.-L. Wee [email protected] Body and Communication: The ‘Ordinary’ Art of Tang Da Wu Abstract What might the contemporary performing body look like when it seeks to communicate and to cultivate the need to live well within the natural environment, whether the context of that living well is framed and set upon either by longstanding cultural traditions or by diverse modernizing forces over some time? The Singapore performance and visual artist Tang Da Wu has engaged with a present and a region fractured by the predations of unacceptable cultural norms – the consequences of colonial modernity or the modern nation-state taking on imperial pretensions – and the subsumption of Singapore society under capitalist modernization. Tang’s performing body both refuses the diminution of time to the present, as is the wont of the forces he engages with, and undertakes interventions by sometimes elusive and ironic means – unlike some overdetermined contemporary performance art – that reject the image of the modernist ‘artist as hero’.
