  • 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.

The island city is giving Hong Kong a shake as Asia's arts hub, writes Nina Karnikowski. Think of Singapore and behemoth shopping malls, the Merlion, Singapore Slings and a distinct lack of chewing gum will probably all come to mind. But art galleries? Maybe not so much. That's all changing, however, thanks to a state-led effort to promote the "Lion City" as one of Asia's largest cultural and artistic hubs, with the Singaporean government pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars a year into the city's arts scene. http://www.watoday.com.au/travel/singapore-sensory-perceptions-20140501-37j3w.html Page 1 of 6 Singapore: Sensory perceptions 5/5/14 11:08 AM The Rendezvous Hotel. Singapore already boasts more than 50 contemporary art galleries, including the newly opened Centre for Contemporary Art and the Singapore Art Museum, and hosts world-class art events including the recent Singapore Biennale and Art Stage Singapore, south-east Asia's largest art fair. And with both the Singapore Pinacotheque de Paris (the first Asian outpost of Paris' largest private art museum) and the National Art Gallery (which will exhibit the world's biggest public collection of modern Southeast Asian and Singaporean art) scheduled to open in 2015, the city is giving Hong Kong a run for its money in the race to become Asia's arts hub.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • Singapore Pavilion Opens at the Venice Biennale 2011
    Jun 03, 2011 17:13 +08 Singapore Pavilion Opens at the Venice Biennale 2011 Singapore artist Ho Tzu Nyen presents “The Cloud of Unknowing”, a video art installation at the Singapore Pavilion of the 54th Venice Biennale. The Pavilion will be officially opened on Wednesday, 1 June at the Salone di Ss. Filippo e Giacomo del Museo Diocesano di Venezia, Italyby the Chairman of the National Arts Council (NAC) Singapore, Mr Edmund Cheng. Mr Khor Kok Wah, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, NAC, said, “I am pleased that Singapore continues to be a part of the Venice Biennale even as we strive to establish similar international platforms like the recently concluded Singapore Biennale, and Art Stage Singapore in January this year. Such international platforms are vital for the creative connections that are forged across borders and cultures.” The theme of this year’s Venice Biennale, “ILLUMInations”, calls for a reflection upon the conventions through which contemporary art is viewed. Ho’s audio-visual installation explores art history, looking at forms of illumination, luminance and of being transported by clouds. His piece portrays the sensory experience of eight different characters occupying apartments in a deserted, low-income public housing block in Singapore, each of whom has an encounter with a cloud which alternates between appearing as a figure, and a vaporous mist. “The Cloud of Unknowing” is commissioned and presented by The National Arts Council Singapore and supported by the Lee Foundation and Mori Art Museum. The curator of the pavilion, June Yap, is an independent curator based in Singapore. She has curated with the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (LASALLE) and the Singapore Art Museum.
