<i><br />Acts of Life</i> is a collaboration of NTU CCA Singapore and MCAD Manila, commissioned by the Goethe-Institut Singapore and Goethe-Institut Manila. <br /><br />After an open call with an overwhelming response of 180 international applicants, 16 artists, writers, theorists from the region and Germany have been selected by a curatorial board to participate in a month-long residency in Manila and Singapore. Structured to encourage the heterogeneity and multiplicity of exchange through which a critical research residency is manifested, the transdisciplinary project seeks to explore the relationship between environments and humankind in times of rapid urbanisation and digitalisation. <br /><br /><i>Acts of Life</i> Public Programme is a constellation of selected artistic research outputs culminated over the period and will happen during Singapore Art Week on 25 and 26 January 2019 and in Manila in February 2019. <br /><br />Presented in an open studio accompanied with live activations, the presentation shows selected works in progress and is an encounter of how the research residency unfolds: the fostering of intellectual exchanges, lines of enquiry and the initiation of potential discourses around the intersections between art, nature, urbanity, and technology.<br /><br /><p><u>Curatorial Advisory Board</u></p>

<i>Free Jazz III. Sound. Walks.</i> offers the curatorial proposition that collectivity and communality can be explored through art experiences that draw on the long histories of sound and walking, offering concrete ways to connect with nature, technology, and each other during times of social distancing. Dematerialized, asynchronous, and participatory, these artworks each reflect how our current collective negotiations between physical and online realms need not be seen as binary opposites, but as opportunities for rethinking social interaction through our senses. <br /><br />We invite you bring your headphones and your walking shoes to experience the artworks of Free Jazz III. Sound. Walks. <br /><br /><i>Free Jazz III. Sound. Walks. </i>is curated by Magdalena Magiera (Germany/Singapore), NTU CCA Singapore Curator, Education and Outreach, and Dr Karin Oen (United States/Singapore), NTU CCA Singapore Deputy Director, Curatorial Programmes.

<i>Under the Skin</i> showcases the experimental practices of George Chua, Nina Djekić, and Noor Effendy Ibrahim, three artists who engage with sound, bodily movements, and performance to examine contemporary body and identity politics. Bringing together elements of performance, sound and visual art in response to the theme of <i>Proposals for Novel Ways of Being</i>, the artists have been commissioned to produce new work reflecting their own experiences of the sudden uncertainty and loss of normalcy during the global COVID-19 pandemic: abrupt shifts in social interaction and daily routines, confinement and physical limitations, adjustments, and reorientations to relationships. As we grapple with the uncertainties of the post-pandemic future, this radical moment of instability also calls upon us to reclaim our personal and collective consciousness, to nurture the resilience of our body and soul. How does a body compose itself and develop new vocabularies for articulation? What new sensorial and corporeal sensibilities can we locate and uncover? <br /><br />While the current conditions of our lives also expose global fragilities and social divisions, this project draws mainly from the spaces, experiences and materialities of everyday life, where the effect of the pandemic is, perhaps, most potent and surreptitious. Attempting to reconcile ideas of tenderness in violence, Noor Effendy Ibrahim continues his on-going performance research to excavate inherent and latent memories within his own body through self-inflicted physical pain. Locating marginalised bodies and their everyday lived experiences via a mythical dance troupe, George Chua meditates on vulnerability and belief, contemplating our existential struggle on what it means to be human. Engaging with translations and memories within an constructed setting, Nina Djekić invites us to consider notions of intimacy via virtual spaces and proxy bodies. <br /><br />The trio of performative works are cinematically translated into the medium of video by Singapore artist and filmmaker Russell Morton, and their videos presented online. <br /><br /><i>Under the Skin</i> is curated by artist Cheong Kah Kit for NTU CCA Singapore’s <i>Free Jazz III</i>

<span>28 Oct 2017, Sat 07:00 PM - 11:00 PM</span><br /><br />Join us as we celebrate our 4th Anniversary on Saturday, 28 October 2017. We are excited to present two performances of The Critical Dictionary of Southeast Asia Volume 4: V for Voice, by Ho Tzu Nyen and Bani Haykal. <b><br /><br /></b>1st performance: 7.00 – 8.00pm (limited capacity: priority given to attendees of the Ghosts and Spectres – Shadows of History symposium) <br />2nd performance: 8.20 – 9.20pm <br /><br /><i>The Critical Dictionary of Southeast Asia (cdosea)</i> has, since its inception in 2012, generated a number of filmic, theatrical, and installation works for Ho Tzu Nyen including <i>The Name</i> (2015) and The Nameless (2015), and a number of projects engaging with the figure of the tiger. Since 2016, Ho has working with a group of collaborators to manifest the dictionary itself, most recently creating an algorithm that endlessly composes new combinations of audio-visual materials glossed from the Internet, according to the 26 terms of the dictionary (cdosea.org). <i>Volume 4: V for Voice</i> is the first time cdosea is presented in a live context, with sound artist Bani Haykal performing in response to the spontaneous audio-visual images conjured up by the ghostwriter that is the algorithms. Learn more about <i>cdosea</i> here. <br /><br />Enjoy food by Intermission Bar, free-flow drinks, and music by Singaporean deejay RAH at the tents outside Block 43.

<br />Utilising the words written or spoken by artists, <i>Words, They, Wrote</i> is a performance embedded within a symposium, a lecture, a panel discussion, or an exhibition space. Allowing a retrospective moment where the audience can listen in on what artists write about their lives, their work, and negotiate objects and situations out of texts. This performance points to an approach taken by artists that is located at the intersection of visual art and literature, further complicating the entanglements between text and image. Accompanied by a slide show title of artworks and artist names, it can be seen as a proposal for an imaginary exhibition. <br />

<p><br />This edition of <em>Residencies OPEN</em> will highlight NTU CCA Singapore’s Artists-in-Residence who focus on performance in their practices. The performances will take place outside Block 37 Studios, accompanied by activities happening within this remote block. Performances will range from live sonic hypnosis from <strong>Yan Jun</strong>, a collaborative performance from <strong>anGie seah</strong> looking at the sensation of “butterflies in the stomach”, a ceremonious ritual of conviviality with <strong>Amanda Heng</strong> and a special installation and screening of work by <strong>Li Ran</strong>. These four artists mutually share an interest in performance as a visceral medium to experience contemporary art.</p>
<p><strong>Amanda Heng | 6.00 – 10.00pm</strong><br /><strong>Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03</strong><br />Through her <span class="text_exposed_show">exchange of everyday rituals with various people in September, Amanda Heng’s (Singapore) presentation looks at the meditative, poetic and performative qualities in ceremonies, everyday life and public spaces. Visitors will be invited to experience the exchange of rituals through participation.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><strong>Li Ran | 6.00 – 10.00pm</strong><br /><strong>Block 37 Malan Road, Studio #01-04</strong><br />Li Ran (China) presents two works that blur everyday life and performance, including <em>Beyond Geography</em> (2012), which looks at the role of performing the “native” within a fabricated jungle environment.</p>
<p><strong>Yan Jun | 8.00 – 9.00pm</strong><br /><strong>Exterior of Block 37 Malan Road</strong><br />Yan Jun’s (China) performances often incorporate improvisations and everyday objects.

<i>Free Jazz III. Sound. Walks.</i><br /><br />Singapore’s Dragon Kiln is one of the few remaining brick-built kilns in Asia. When there is no firing, it is left empty and unused. seah’s aim is to investigate the materiality of clay by re-purposing the dragon kiln as a sound recording space, revisiting the historical site and exploring its acoustics by activating the space with vocal experimentation. With the human voice as its main focus, this project embeds vocal emotional expressions of the prosodic features of speech, as well as vocalisations with no linguistic content – hums, sobs, laughter, wailing, and gibbering. With the involvement of the migrant worker community, which has been restricted the most during the pandemic, the kiln no longer feels hollow, being filled instead with a spirit of collectivism. The spectral and uncanny qualities of place are amplified through voice and sound manipulation of fired clay objects.

<p><i>We take care of each other</i></p>

<p><i><span class="markgz2ythaht">– Arahmaiani</span>,<span> </span></i>2021 </p>
<p>Arahmaiani’s practice is anchored within communities with the goal of studying and developing collective creativity, to find alternative, innovative and creative solutions to problems communities are facing these days. By implementing an “open art system” through an inter-disciplinary approach, Arahmaiani open invitation is to overcome rigid discourses and establish new value systems. When in Yogyakarta, she stays often with Jimmy Ong, with whom she shares an interest in dealing with issues of culture, environment and social-political conflicts. An artist who left Singapore 30 years ago, Jimmy found himself back in Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he attempted a community project with migrant workers under quarantine. Together they intend to hold dialogues and discussions to identify issues and concerns important to such communities in Singapore, including permaculture, urban farming, and food security while exploring the creative interconnections of culture, music, and botany.<br /><br /><span>In this performance incorporating a flag bearing the word </span><em>guyub</em><span> – the Javanese term for living harmoniously – Arahmaiani offers an original sound composition by </span>Wukir Suryadi<span> (Indonesia) as a “song for the plants.” She invites us all to respond to this offering and create our own songs for plants, inspired by mutual care and harmony.</span></p>
