This workshop will give an insight to Singapore’s participation in the Venice Biennale, and to the process involved in selecting and commissioning the project. The speakers will highlight purpose and opportunity, as well as the challenges inherent in such an undertaking. SEA STATE, the most recent commission for Singapore Pavilion in 2015, took place at the new location, Sale d’Armi situated at the Arsenale. Leased for the next nine editions, it will put Singapore’s artists in closer proximity to the other national presentations.
This workshop is an education and outreach programme of Charles Lim Yi Yong: SEA STATE.
This workshop was developed in collaboration with Kelly Reedy, a former lecturer at the National Institute of Education, who specialises in teaching how museums and galleries can be used to enhance student learning through visual arts. This workshop is created to engage educators in contemporary art and artistic practices. Highlighting the educational aspects of the various works presented in Amar Kanwar: The Sovereign Forest, it will allow the teachers to prepare for visits with their school classes.
