Published to accompany National Gallery Singapore's inaugural
exhibition Siapa Namu Kamu?, this catalogue presents a survey of
Singapore art from the 19th century to the present, charting major
themes across broad time periods. Over 400 works of art in a wide
range of media are brought together to trace the ebb and flow of
the history of Singapore art. Curatorial essays provide insight
into the exhibition that considers the parameters of time and
nation in relation to the history of art in Singapore.
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research,
development and evaluation agency of the US Department of Justice.
The NIJ is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of
crime and justice issues through science. NIJ provides objective
and independent knowledge and tools to reduce crime and promote
justice, particularly at the state and local levels. Each year, the
NIJ publishes and sponsors dozens of research and study documents
detailing results, analyses and statistics that help to further the
organization's mission. These documents relate to topics like
biometrics, corrections technology, gun violence, digital
forensics, human trafficking, electronic crime, terrorism, tribal
justice and more. This document is one of these publications.
From November 2016 to August 2017, Vietnamese-born Danish artist
Danh Vo, who often draws upon personal experience to explore
broader historical, social or political themes in his work,
presents a series of new sculptures at National Gallery Singapore
as part of his first outdoor installation in Singapore. A
continuation of his existing practice, the installation explores
issues of cross-cultural identity and the definition of cultural
values. This accompanying catalogue delves deeper into both Danh's
practice as well as broader discussions surrounding cross-cultural
identity through essays by leading scholar Professor Nora Taylor
and Gallery curator Charmaine Toh, alongside full-colour images of
the commissioned work.
Minimalism: Space, Light and Object is an expansive global survey
of the movement's influential language of reductive forms, from its
Abstract Expressionist colour field antecedents to Post-Minimalism,
and how it continues to speak to artists today. In this timely
re-evaluation, the contemporaneous Mono-ha movement, as well as
experimentation in video, sound and performance are brought to bear
on the Minimalist canon. This richly illustrated exhibition
catalogue features essays by the exhibition curators and
international contributors, along with conversations with artists,
opening up a forum for contemporary readings of this dynamic,
multivalent and pivotal movement.
