“The process of preparing them is tedious: first, starve the snails on just water for 3 days, then feed them only carrots until their poop turns orange. This entire process, which takes about a week, ensures that the innards of the snails are detoxified.”⠀
⠀
What on earth does this have to do with art? The link in bio will tell you ! ⠀

Must art be confined to the white walls of galleries? In this day and age, the answer is of course a resounding no. And that is why @nationalgallerysingapore continues to add to its OUTBOUND series, which commissions artists to create works in the Gallery's transitional spaces. Take a look at what you can expect to encounter on your way to the exhibitions when you visit the National Gallery from now on!⁣
⁣
Since each commission of the OUTBOUND series will be displayed for at least three years, you are sure to have the opportunity to come across it when you visit. Happy hunting!

Yogyakarta-based artist Muhammad “Ucup” Yusuf has always sought to give voice to the people through his art, and his work at the recent group show, "Fracture/Fiction", at ILHAM Gallery @ilhamgallerykl remains true to form. ⠀

Our writer Amanda takes us through the socio-political issues that gave rise to his woodcut print, "Tak Kunjung Padam", in the link in bio.⠀

We asked the female curators of @gajahgallery’s ‘Shaping Geographies: Art | Woman | Southeast Asia’ if they might have chosen a male curator to work with, and this was their response: ⠀
⠀
“I guess a counter to your question would be, well, who would we pick? If we needed to pick a man to be involved, who would we pick and why?”— Dr. Michelle Antoinette⠀
⠀
“(We’re) not saying it’s unnatural for male curators and female curators to work together.. but we also don’t want to have collaborations that are forced.”— Dr. Wulan Dirgantoro⠀

“This is an exhibition that brings together 11 Southeast Asian artists who’ve delivered really powerful works. The show represents different generations of Southeast Asian women artists and it gives you a perspective on what some of the constants are, across the generations. It also taps into the differences in what Southeast Asian women artists are doing (now). These are powerful new works that address urgent things and they do it in a way that’s refreshingly intimate and beautiful.” – Dr. Michelle Antoinette (right) and Dr. Wulan Dirgantoro (left), Academics & Curators of ‘Shaping Geographies: Art | Woman | Southeast Asia’⠀

This week, we bring you a series of reflections from participants involved in @gajahgallery’s groundbreaking new art exhibition. Stay close for more !

“The history of art is the history of innovative artistic consciousness... we are artists not because we are able to manufacture and replicate beautiful objects ... but because we are ‘inventor,’ ‘artificer,’ ‘shaman,’‘magician,’ ‘thinker,’ even ‘clown..’ “ — “Things Change,” by Raymundo Albano & Johnny Manahan⠀
⠀
These lovely thoughts stayed with us over the last couple of days as we took in the #singaporebiennale which opens to the public today. ⠀
⠀
It’s a mammoth of a show spread out over 11 locations islandwide, but we were particularly struck by a handful of quiet, contemplative works. ⠀
⠀
Click on the link in bio for a deep dive into the 5 works from the Biennale that stole our hearts, not with fireworks and dazzle, but with the sense of wonder that they spark, and the reflection that they encourage.⠀
