  • NUS Museum Wins Inaugural Award for Innovative Museological Practice
    NUS Centre For the Arts For immediate release NUS Museum wins inaugural award For innovative museological practice International Committee of University Museums and Collections recognizes efforts to facilitate conversation between audiences and exhibitions Associate Professor Peter Pang, Associate Provost (Student Life), NUS, accepting the award from UMAC Chair Professor Hugues Dreyssé at NUS Museum, 10 May 2016. SINGAPORE, 10 May 2016 – NUS Museum’s prep-room is the first recipient of the University Museums and Collections (UMAC) Award for the most significant innovation or practice that has proved successful in a university museum or collection. Initiated in 2011, the prep-room is conceived as a means of exploring curatorial methods, developing content and scope and seeking audience participation in the lead-up to projects such as exhibitions and programmes. Employing mostly archival materials, curators present content, curatorial experiments and design ideas in an open gallery, inviting visitors to observe the exhibition-making process, engage with content, and potentially begin a long-term interest in the project. Since 2011, a total of ten projects have been incubated as prep-rooms at the Museum. Professor Hugues Dreyssé, Chairman of UMAC, shares, “The Board (of UMAC) salutes the museum's understanding of the basic principle of creating a contact between the audience and the museum, the creative approach to discussion between researchers, interns, artists and the public and the ease of adapting the idea to other museums.” In 2011, NUS Museum developed the notion of the prep-room from the museum’s work with archival materials and methods. With an interest in the Raffles Lighthouse, located on Pulau Satumu (Singapore), curators and collaborators spent eight months sourcing, categorizing and visually mapping archival materials ranging from 15th century cartographic maps to 19th century governmental declarations.

Suddenly Turning Visible: Art and Architecture in Southeast Asia (1969–1989). A Review T.K. SABAPATHY The curators of Suddenly Turning Visible, a National Gallery Singapore (NGS) project consisting of an exhibition and a publication, introduce it grandly. I cite their opening remarks. In 1981 the Filipino artist and curator Raymundo R. Albano coined the expression “suddenly turning visible” to describe the rapid transformation of Manila’s landscape. The visibility that Albano was evoking was an aspirational one, as the Philippines, along with other countries across Southeast Asia, had embarked upon their most ambitious infrastructural projects yet. The driving force was the logic of developmental- ism, a desire for rapid economic growth in tandem with massive infrastructure building to transform the cities of Bangkok, Manila and Singapore into modern metropolises. Art had a critical role to play in the cities formulation, with artists and architects advancing varying perspectives towards this new vision.1 This is a vivid, forceful inauguration for an exhibition and its exegesis, setting out major premises for the two components.

    Exhibition Review And the Difference Is Liau Shu Juan The writer’s interest is in western oil painting and contemporary works which can range from new media art to photography and graphic design. A Year 1 student at Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences majoring in Communications and New Media, she enjoys analysing and creating art works. Inflatable garbage bags hanging in the air, a video of seemingly nonsensical conversations and an ordinary filing cabinet. The man on the street wouldn’t call them art. However, before you turn around and scoff at them, do take a moment to reflect. For such works, the concept and the experience are what matters, coupled with specific aesthetic strategies. Welcome to the world of contemporary art where modern experiences collide headon with traditional concepts of what constitutes art. The works on display are part of the And the Difference Is exhibit, a collaboration between Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces (Melbourne) and the NUS Museum. Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces values creativity, risk and experimentation and this vision is reflected in the works.

  • For Immediate Release Present Jendela: a Play of the Ordinary
    NUS Centre For the Arts For Immediate Release Present Jendela: A Play of the Ordinary Jumaldi Alfi, Untitled 2008, Acrylic on Canvas, 215 x 315 cm Singapore, 4 March 2009 – NUS Museum and Gajah Gallery present the works of art collective Jendela in the first part of two major exhibitions on Indonesian contemporary art. The exhibition, Jendela: A Play of the Ordinary, opens at NUS Museum on 4 March 2009 and will run till 19 April 2009. Consisting of graduates of Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) in Yogyakarta, Kelompok Seni Rupa Jendela (Jendela Art Group) is now one of Indonesia’s most prominent contemporary art collective. The meteoric rise of Jendela that began in the mid-1990s is both fascinating and confounding. Paintings, sculptures and installations produced by these artists that included Handiwirman Saputra, Jumaldi Alfi, Yusra Martunus, Rudi Mantofani and Yunizar (See Annex 1), are seemingly detached from the politically charged practices that typify Yogyakarta art. Based on observations of the everyday or mundane, the artists produce works that are visually arresting, seductive, astutely crafted, yet cool, ambiguous, distanced from such conventional gestures and themes. Contrasted against the stridency of activism, the works of Jendela also appear to some as abstract, formal, void of discernable text and empty. Should the works be regarded as a departure 50 Kent Ridge Crescent Singapore 119279 Tel: (65) 6516 2492 Fax: (65) 6874 1002 Website: www.nus.edu.sg/cfa - 1 - NUS Centre For the Arts from the very spirit of social and political
