<br />Assuming that a curator can be the artist, collector, writer and producer at the same time, one poses questions like why and what do we curate when we curate? Curator Li Zhenhua considers curating a temporary position in the arts, bringing together different approaches to artists’ works providing new points of entry through different forms of inquiry and research. The lecture and screening will be followed by a conversation between Li Zhenhua and NTU CCA Singapore Visiting Research Fellow Dr. Marc Glöde.

<br />Part of contemporary art practices in Singapore since the 1980s has been the exploration of the suppressed and less privileged, addressed by former Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in 1999 as “heartlanders”, who live in the city-state’s public housing erected upon the tabula rasa of the razed plain in Singapore. Independent film from the 1990s in particular displayed uneasiness with the enclosure of Singapore’s nanny-state modernity, as it is often described. Some filmmakers notably took public housing to be a more enclosed space distinct from the swish commercial and business downtown. In attempting to map an urban space capable of yielding knowledge of non-elite people, filmmakers attempt to delineate the interiority of a major part of Singapore’s city space. This presentation will examine the similar and contrasting means by which some filmmakers present the city-state as a palimpsest of suppressed urban cultures. <br /><br />This Exhibition (de)Tour is part of the public programme of <i>Incomplete Urbanism: Attempts of Critical Spatial Practice.</i>

Today, as the internet has grown to be the commercial structure we know, what is the room artists carve online? This talk will look at a number of specific artworks, which conflate the urban and digital space as well as on the hidden aspects of the internet’s infrastructure. In light of internet changes since 1995, Orit Gat will examine possibilities art opens up to make the internet a genuine public space of the commons.</div>

<br />“In an age of near-global commodification, how do we study cultural and ethnic difference, and how do we navigate the complicated map of plural multiculturalism?” — Dr Farish Ahmad Noor <br /><br />In this talk, Dr Farish Ahmad Noor will engage with the history of Southeast Asia. He will speak about how the colonial imaginary envisioned Southeast Asia as a land of boundless opportunities for capital, and thus regarded it as a fertile zone for conquest and appropriation, bringing the colonial enterprise within the ambit of a modernist-instrumentalist mindset. <br /><br />This <i>Exhibition (de)Tour</i> is part of the public programme of Amar Kanwar: <i>The Sovereign Forest</i>.

<br />The Southeast Asian region has been experiencing increasingly frequent events of transboundary haze for several decades. Much of this haze originates from Indonesia, mainly caused by fires related to traditional and commercial agricultural activities. While these activities have been credited for fuelling rapid development in Indonesia and the larger region, human and non-human communities around Southeast Asia have had to suffer its ill effects. This talk explores the concept of such pollution as a crime, both in terms of human and environmental rights. It also touches on the intricacies of local and regional politics that have permitted this ‘crime’ to continue unabated. <br /><br />This Exhibition (de)Tour is part of the public programme of <i>Amar Kanwar: The Sovereign Forest.</i>

While architects used filmic images continuously to critically reflect and promote their ideas, filmmakers have always experimented with forms that altered our ways of thinking and experiencing architecture or city environments. Dr David Teh and Dr Marc Glöde will reflect on the role of digital video in the wider sense of public spheres, the articulation of non-official histories and the public space, as well as discuss video as a vehicle of both “global” electronic enculturation, and of a modernity.</p>

<i><br />DASH</i> begins with footage of an accident captured from a dashcam. Bearing witness to the crashes and collisions that occur within spaces of transit, the vast accumulation of such footage on the Internet can be said to constitute a contemporary index of the accident. Reflecting specifically on the view from the dashcam that captures the mobile subject’s forward rush into the horizon as it escapes a scene of accident, the lecture considers the modes of legibility that enable the accident—or crisis—to appear as such within a risk-managed and financially hedged era. Of special interest is the logic of “horizon scanning” that undergirds the foresight programmes of the Singapore government. As a crucial node along the electronic circuits of global finance as well as the sweaty regional routes crossed by disenfranchised migrant labour, Singapore is held up within the lecture as a privileged site to attend to the disturbances or “weak signals” that crop up on the horizon, from which a fantastic speculative economy—one populated by the likes of “black swans” and “dragon kings”—is produced to affirm some narratives while extinguishing others. <br /><br />This Lecture Performance is a public programme of <i>Incomplete Urbanism: Attempts of Critical Spatial Practice.</i>

<br />Unfolding over a period of three weeks is a special project by London based, Singaporean Artist-in-Residence, Erika Tan. Focusing on the forgotten historical figure of Halimah the Malay weaver, Tan will revive her through a series of footnotes and instigate a process of collective labour towards the understanding that history is an effort built by many.<br /><br />Halimah lived and worked with 19 other Malayans in the 1924 British Empire Exhibition in London, essentially engaged not only in the production of woven material but also in the reproduction of her position as a colonial subject. This project seeks to liberate Halimah from her textual existence and re-insert her into a contemporary dialogue around nation, art and value – or place, labour, capital. <em>The Lab</em> will be used in a triad of layers – as an exhibition space, a film studio and the site of a live “broadcast” debate with debaters, Meiyi Chan, Annabel Tan, Loh An Lin, Abigail Wong, Sara Ng and Geetha Creffield. They will be joined by filmmakers Lor Huiyun and Jolinna Ang.<br /><p>Erika Tan’s practice is primarily research-led with a leaning towards the moving image, referencing distributed media in the form of cinema, gallery-based works, internet and digital practices.</p>
<p>The debate will take place on Saturday, 25 July 2015, 3pm – 4.30pm and will be filmed live. </p>
