It’s very nearly time for Art Stage Singapore to begin, and the exciting event will feature a renewed focus on art from the Southeastern Asian region and its relation to the broader art world. This is especially important for a region in which artists have not been participating in the creative world for very long in a historical sense.
For the very first time at Art Stage Singapore, a forum on art from the surrounding region will take place, emphasizing the importance the event is placing on artists from both Singapore and the rest of Southeastern Asia. Organizers for this special forum hope that it will help viewers and participants understand the role of art from Southeastern Asia in contemporary art, globally, as a whole. Artists are able to pick up on the pulse of various movements, an official of the forum says, and what they have to say about society through paintings and other works can be essential reflections on our lives.
The forum’s theme will take a critical look at urbanization in Southeastern Asia. A collection of artwork specifically commissioned for this event will be on hand to help reflect and further explain a series of talks that will examine the relationship of cities and art. Experts will be on hand to lead these talks, including a renowned architect and an auctioneer. The artwork for this special portion of the show will help highlight the physical growth that Southeastern Asian communities have recently enjoyed, as well as the political and cultural growth.
While there will be a large focus on Singapore and its surrounding region at Art Stage Singapore, the event has traditionally drawn a wide range of artists from all around the globe. This year’s showing will be no different, showcasing talent from participants across the world. Another special feature of the upcoming event will be a display by modern dadaist artists — sure to be a delight for all viewers.
An example of one of the artworks that will be on display as a part of Art Stage Singapore will be a sculptural work by an artist from Thailand. The work is of a high-end Ferrari sports car, but the catch is that the entire work is constructed in what looks like a white wicker or woven wooden material. Viewers of this work will delight in analyzing its significance — perhaps a marriage of modern and materialistic desires with traditional forms of finery.
