Performance]]> Spaces of the Curatorial]]> 29 May 2015, Fri 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Blocks 37 & 38 Malan Road

Join us for an electrifying night with a live performance by Chicks on Speed known for their cult status as catalysts of the musical genre, electroclash and collaborations with Julian Assange, Karl Lagerfeld, Peaches and Yoko Ono among others. One of its musical duo, Alex Murray-Leslie (Australia) will joins us as Artist-in-Residence in May.

As part of his research residency at NTU CCA Singapore, Jeremy Sharma explores ideas around information (its associated technologies) and distraction in his studio. Drawings, collages, photographs, chess boards and animation will be presented as strategies that occupy both physical and mental spaces.]]>

Performance]]> Faculty of Listening is a means of thinking and experiencing music through non-musical lenses.

Faculty of Listening investigates “places as instruments” inspired by Didier Faustino’s public lecture at the BRIDGE THE GAP? 11 conference at NTU CCA Singapore where he says “architecture is not innocent, it is political”, and also by Marc Auge’s concept of non-places (Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity, 1995). Haykal will present a series of lab sessions and performances using NTU CCA Singapore as a base, offering bikes for hire for visitors to take sound recordings around Gillman Barracks as part of his examination of music in relation to urban spaces.

This special project is supported by a National Arts Council grant.

Artistic Research]]> Performance]]> 25 Sep 2015, Fri 6:00pm - 10:00pm
Block 37 Malan Road, Studios


This edition of Residencies OPEN 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 Yan Jun, a collaborative performance from anGie seah looking at the sensation of “butterflies in the stomach”, a ceremonious ritual of conviviality with Amanda Heng and a special installation and screening of work by Li Ran. These four artists mutually share an interest in performance as a visceral medium to experience contemporary art.

Amanda Heng | 6.00 – 10.00pm
Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03
Through her 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.

Li Ran | 6.00 – 10.00pm
Block 37 Malan Road, Studio #01-04
Li Ran (China) presents two works that blur everyday life and performance, including Beyond Geography (2012), which looks at the role of performing the “native” within a fabricated jungle environment.

Yan Jun | 8.00 – 9.00pm
Exterior of Block 37 Malan Road
Yan Jun’s (China) performances often incorporate improvisations and everyday objects. He will create a sonic device based on his experimentation of being situated in the jungle, drawing attention to the environs of Block 37, Gillman Barracks.

anGie seah | 9.00 – 10.00pm
Exterior of Block 37 Malan Road
anGie seah (Singapore) will present Part 1 of A Thousand Horses Running in my Head (2015), a mash up of bass droning, poetic gestures and erratic voice-works combined with everyday sounds.

Performance]]> Animals]]> 24 Oct 2015, Sat 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Block 43 Malan Road

For the performance, Brian O'Reilly will be using multiple instruments for different ways of interacting with the sounds generated by the arachnids. The first system is a modular synthesiser, followed by an electro-acoustic contrabass and electronic, finally gongs and cymbals also with electronic treatments. In this performance, the musician will aim for the spider sounds to directly modulate the sounds he will be producing in order to create a integrated electro-acoustic ecosystem where the sounds being performed and generated influence each other.

This performance is a public programme of Tomás Saraceno: Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions.]]>

Animals]]> Performance]]> 7 Nov 2015, Sat 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Block 43 Malan Road

Live performance by arachnids and Bani Haykal, artist, Singapore. Introduced by Joseph Koh, arachnologist, Singapore.

*Part of Art Day Out! at Gillman Barracks

Entitled variations on hello, Bani Haykal’s performance pursues Saraceno’s idea of a feedback mechanism between spiders and humans as a form of interspecies communication. The work will incorporate a set of materials to transmit vibrations to the spiders, in the attempt that specific frequencies and rhythmic patterns will trigger a response.

This performance is a public programme of Tomás Saraceno: Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions.]]>

Curatorial Practice]]> 18 Nov 2015, Wed 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Red Baron, 45 Malan Road

British art historian and Visiting Research Fellow Tony Godfrey will read from Tuesday in the Tropics, his illustrated weekly letter which he emails to curators and friends. These letters sometimes reflective, sometimes descriptive, sometimes personal were written over the course of the year.]]>

Performance]]> 2 Dec 2015, Wed 7:00pm - 9:00pm
The Exhibition Hall, Block 43 Malan Road

Live performance by arachnids and Joyce Beetuan Koh, musician (Singapore). Introduced by Etienne Turpin, philosopher (Indonesia)

Joyce Koh’s performance is informed by the image of the spider web as a sonic canvas, where the spider travels and leaves traces of its musical footprints. By mapping the movements of the spider as it is constructing its web with a three-point visual capture, Koh will interpret the data set as musical articulations and create a musical score for three musicians.

This performance is a public programme of Tómas Saraceno: Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions.]]>

Performance]]> 15 Jun 2016, Wed 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Studio #01-02, Block 37 Malan Road

One perceives their position in a spatial structure through sight and sound. Beginning in darkness, this audio-visual performance will gradually emerge through the initiation of light. Situated between the realm of light and sound, Spatial Trichotomy will provoke a reconsideration of space through the codependency of our senses.]]>
