ARTSNational Perth- Powerhouse of the East: art in Singapore
About
Singapore’s British heritage since its foundation in the early 19th century profoundly influenced its artistic traditions. It all began to change in the 1930s with the foundation of the Nanyang School of Art and the fusion of Chinese ink painting with the Western modern movement. In the new millennium Singapore is investing enormous effort and expense in developing the art infrastructure as the profile of its contemporary artists rises, with the aim of becoming the locus of the art market in the East. This lecture explores the unfolding history. An art historian, art market analyst and curator/ writer, Viv Lawes combines a hands-on career in the art business with research and teaching in Higher Education at several London-based universities. Viv has curated numerous exhibitions of Southeast Asian contemporary art in London and Singapore.Location
