| Foo Hui Wen, In Plain Sight (2021) at Pivot Point curated by Outcontext |
Day 2, 23 Jan 2021:
I started the day at base camp, The Substation. I attended WAKE artist tour. WAKE is a site-specific exhibition at the Substation based on the themes of hauntings, reterritorialization and homecoming led by 6 Diploma Fine Art students from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. These young artists chose to view the Substation as a living, breathing entity with its own organs and history, full of (un)fortunate events. The works form a representation of the past stories of the Substation and their speculation of its future.
For the tour, I was joined by a friend who just returned from Berlin. It was wonderful to see the young artists share their ideas and views about the Substation. I told myself that I should invite some old timers to see their work and how these young people see the Substation.
I continue the SAW art trail at Gillman Barracks. I visited the following:
- Bubbleloon at the Columns Gallery which featured sculpture from Yeo Chee Kiong
- Baroque Archipelago at Mizuma Gallery
- Yayoi Kusama: Recent Paintings at Ota Fine Arts
- David Diao at ShanghART
- Volume Eleven by Ash Ghazali at Richard Koh Fine Art
- Nicholas Ong, Absurd Theatrics at Yavuz Gallery
- Kill Your Darlings by Ian Tee at Yavuz Gallery (off site)
- Wild Critters curated by Alvin Tan from PHUNK and programmed by Shang Liang. This is Insta AR filter project.
- Residencies OPEN by NTU CCA
- Threads and TensionsL The Interconnected World at Yeo Workshop
- Pivot Point curated by Outcontext featuring 8 young artists

* I visited and attended eleven SAW events and have 72 left to go.
