<p>Trinh T. Minh-ha’s approach to film has addressed a wide field of discussions—reaching from the ethics of representation in ethnographic film, to aspects of migration, debates on global socio-political developments, and different layers of feminist discourse. Her films are investigations into the question of the voice as well as the relationship between the visible and audible. This programme will present a selection of films that echo some of these discussions negotiated by Trinh in her filmic works as well as her writings, and create a dialogue with other filmmakers and scholars.</p>
<p>Co-curated by<span> </span><strong>Dr Marc Glöde</strong>, Assistant Professor, NTU ADM, and<span> </span><strong>Dr<span> </span></strong><strong>Ella Raidel</strong>, Assistant Professor, NTU ADM and WKWSCI.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>1 – 14 November 2020<br /></strong><strong><em>the time is now. (I+II)</em></strong><strong>, Heidrun Holzfeind, 2019<br /></strong>Colour, sound, 48 min<br />Rating: PG</p>
<p>Holzfeind is interested in architectural and social utopias that create an alternative living. She documents the shamanistic rituals of the Japanese improvisation/noise duo IRO, Toshio and Shizuko Orimo, in what they call “Punk Kagura”—in reference to Kagura, a ritual dance tradition and music for the gods. Holzfeind uses a visual language that adapts their mystical rituals: breaks in image; the colour and narrative corresponding with the soundscape; the modernist architecture of Takamasa Yosizaka; and the surrounding nature in which the duo performs a choreography for healing our damaged planet. The urgency is underlined in the title<span> </span><em>the time is now</em>.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>15 – 28 November 2020<br /></strong><strong><em>Heaven’s Crossroad</em></strong><strong>, Kimi Takesue, 2002<br /></strong>Video, colour, sound, 35 min<br />Rating: G</p>
<p>What does it mean to “look” cross-culturally? This film follows up on this question by creating a visual journey through Vietnam. Instead of following the established patterns of the classic documentary, Takesue creates an experimental experience that challenges the audience and invites us to reflect on what it means to “truly see another culture”. Within this beautiful visual travelogue, questions of desire, projection, and communication begin to appear, that are embedded in this idea of the cross-cultural encounter.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>29 November – 10 December 2020<br /></strong><strong><em>Naked Spaces—Living is Round</em></strong><strong>,<span> </span></strong><strong>Trinh T. Minh-ha,</strong><strong><span> </span>1985<br /></strong>16mm transferred to digital file, colour, sound, 135 min<br />Rating: PG13 (<span class="TextRun SCXW256177418 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW256177418 BCX9">This film contains some nudity)</span></span></p>
<p>Six West African countries (Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Senegal) stand in the centre of this film. The work explores the life in the rural environments of these countries by taking a closer look at the everyday. With its nonlinear structure, the film steps away from the classical traditions of the documentary/ethnography tradition and offers a sensuous approach. It is a poetic journey to the African continent in which the interaction of the encountered people or the spaces in which they are living becomes relevant.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>11 – 24 December 2020<br /></strong><strong><em>A Song of Ceylon</em></strong><strong>, Laleen Jayamanne, 1985<br /></strong>16mm film, colour, sound, 51 min<br />Rating: PG13 (<span class="TextRun SCXW112179085 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW112179085 BCX9">This film contains mature content and some nudity)</span></span></p>
<p>This film is an intense study of the body, gender and the multiple aspects of colonialism. It addresses theatrical conventions by recreating classic film stills and presenting the body in striking tableaux. A remarkable film on which Trinh T Minh-Ha, in<span> </span><em>Discourse</em><span> </span>(1989), commented: “The anthropological text is performed both like a musical score and a theatrical ritual….The film engages the viewer in the cinematic body as spectacle…”.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>25 December 2020 – 5 January 2021<br /></strong><strong><em>Surname Viet Given Name Nam</em></strong><strong>, Trinh T. Minh-ha, 1989<br /></strong>16mm film transferred to digital, colour, sound, 108 min<br />Rating: PG13 (<span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">This film contains s</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">ome </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">d</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">isturbing </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">s</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">cenes</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9"> from the archival footage of the Vietnam War</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW253057467 BCX9">)</span></span></p>
<p>This film is Trinh’s complex deep dive into the difficulties of translation, as well as themes of exile or dislocation. By using historic material, dance, printed texts, folk poetry and combining it with anecdotal narratives, she examines the status of Vietnamese women since the Vietnam War, as well as the status of images as evidence. It is a complex approach that invites the audience to reflect on the modes of perception and encourages a profound critique of audio-visual strategies.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>6 – 19 January 2021<br /></strong><strong><em>Nervous Translation</em></strong><strong>, Shireen Seno, 2018<br /></strong>Colour, sound, 90 min<br />Rating: PG</p>
<p>This film follows the inner voice and play of an eight-year-old girl who cooks perfect miniature dishes, mimicking the world of adults. The perception of the child is translated through fragmentation and sounds that are written into words, such as the ring of the telephone, and the sound of the aircon, all forming together, an orchestra of the everyday. Waiting, boredom, and dead time pave the temporality of her imagination, while she is listening to cassette tapes recorded by her father, a migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. The personal phantasmagoric vision encounters the political dimension echoing the times of the People Power Revolution in the Philippines.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>20 – 31 January 2021<br /></strong><strong><em>Reassemblage</em></strong><strong>, Trinh T. Minh-ha, 1982<br /></strong><span lang="en-us">16mm film transferred to digital, colour</span><span lang="en-us">, sound, 40 min<br />Rating: PG13 (<span class="TextRun SCXW256177418 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW256177418 BCX9">This film contains some nudity</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW262228809 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW262228809 BCX9">)</span></span><br /></span></p>
<p>With her remarkable and widely discussed first film, Trinh brings the conventions of the documentary to our attention and asks how films in the field of documentary and ethnographic tradition have consecutively established a power to manipulate the way in which we perceive different cultures. By gathering filmic means and techniques that reject the traditional narrative forms, Trinh constantly alerts us to our own process of perception, furthermore reminding us that watching a movie is not a passive, but an active process.<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>1 – 14 February 2021<br /></strong><strong><em>The Human Pyramid</em></strong><strong>, Jean Rouch, 1961<br /></strong>DCP, colour, sound, 93 min<br /><span lang="en-us">Rating: NC16 (<span class="TextRun SCXW8554943 BCX9" lang="en-sg" xml:lang="en-sg"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW8554943 BCX9">This film contains mature content)</span></span></span></p>
<p>At the Lycée Français of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Rouch worked with students there who willingly enacted a story about the arrival of a new white girl, Nadine, and her effect on the interactions of and interracial relationships between the white colonial French and Black African classmates, all non-actors. Fomenting a dramatic situation instead of repeating one, Rouch extended the experiments he had undertaken in <em>Chronicle of a Summer</em>, including having on-camera student participants view rushes of the film midway through the story. The docu-drama shows how working together to make the film changes their attitude towards each other.—Icarus Film<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>15 – 28 February 2021<br /></strong><strong><em>95 and 6 to Go,</em></strong><strong><span> </span>Kimi Takesue, 2016<br /></strong>Digital, colour, sound, 85 min<br />Rating: G</p>
<p>While visiting her grandfather, a recent widower in his 90s in Hawai’i, Takesue begins to follow his everyday routines. When he shows interest in his granddaughter’s stalled romantic screenplay, an interesting discussion about her work, family, memories, and identity unfolds. Shot over six years, this film shows how personal aspects intertwine with a critical reflection of the documentary genre.</p>

NTU CCA Singapore is pleased to present the pioneering and visionary work of artist Tomás Saraceno for the first time in Southeast Asia. Situated at the intersection between art, architecture and science, Saraceno’s artistic practice is an articulation of a utopian vision for new forms of sustainable living and cohabitation. <br /><br /><i>Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions</i> at NTU CCA Singapore is a new production by Tomás Saraceno commissioned by the centre that brings his long-term research on spider webs into the realm of sound. The artist uses spider webs as musical instruments embodying the incredible structural properties of the spider’s silk, but also the spider’s sophisticated mode of communication through vibrations. <br /><br /><i>Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions</i> is a pioneering investigation by Saraceno and his studio in Berlin that involves a range of collaborators from various universities and disciplines. The exhibition space is turned into an interactive sound and visual installation, a process-driven laboratory for experimentation that pushes the boundaries of interspecies communication. <br /><br />As an extension of the exhibition, a dedicated website (www.arachnidorchestra.org) will operate as a research platform and playful hypertext of musical tuning.

Simryn Gill’s first major solo exhibition in Southeast Asia brings together a series of works that reveal the artist’s specific attitude towards how we produce meaning and make a place for ourselves in the world. NTU CCA Singapore will present three photographic series: <i>Standing Still</i> (2000- 03), <i>Dalam</i> (2001), <i>May 2006</i> (2006), and a new work, <i>Like Leaves (Syzygium grandis)</i> (2015). Much of Simryn Gill’s work results from a process of sifting through and documenting her immediate surroundings creating quiet and at the same time commanding work marked by history, culture, the passage of time, and the poetry of daily life. <br /><br />Curated by Ute Meta Bauer, Founding Director and Anca Rujoiu, Curator, Exhibitions.

<p><strong>NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore</strong> presents the second-cycle exhibition of <strong>SEA AiR – Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union (SEA AiR)</strong>, a programme developed by NTU CCA Singapore and funded by the European Union. Titled <strong><em>Passages</em></strong>, this exhibition features new works by artists <strong>Priyageetha Dia</strong> (Singapore), <strong>Ngoc Nau</strong> (Vietnam) and <strong>Saroot Supasuthivech</strong> (Thailand), inspired by their three-month-long residencies in Europe. </p>
<p>As part of the SEA AiR programme, Dia had undertaken her residency at <strong>Jan van Eyck Academie</strong> (Netherlands), Nau at <strong>Rupert</strong> (Lithuania) and Supasuthivech at<strong> Künstlerhaus Bethanien</strong><span> </span>(Germany) through the summer. Bringing back their experiences from diverse contexts in the EU to Singapore for this exhibition,<span> </span><em>Passages</em><span> </span>speaks of the artists’ journeys across geographical and cultural boundaries from one continent to another; the cultural exchanges that take place during this time; and the continuous development of ideas as they return to their home countries to create new works for the exhibition.<br /><br /><em><span>Employing new media technologies to aid their storytelling, each artist creates speculative narratives that traverse time and space, shifting between the past and present. While distinct in their artistic research and practices, their works evoke memories and explore meanings in liminal spaces, reverberating in their journey from one passage to the next.</span><br /><br /></em><strong>Priyageetha Dia’s</strong><span> </span>research interest lies in the plantations of Southeast Asia and their colonial histories, including those of migrant labour and structures of production and power. She explores gaps in historical records that are not only text-based, but also non-textual ones such as photographs, artefacts and oral interviews. Her four-channel sound installation<span> </span><strong><em>Sap Sonic</em></strong><span> </span>is a sonification of images from the photo album of the Sumatra Caoutchouc Company, a rubber planting company, from the archives of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Beyond their visual representations, the images bear witness to the power dynamics between the coloniser and its labourers as well as the hierarchy between nature and machine. Reframing this landscape from a visual to a sonic one,<span> </span><em>Sap Sonic<span> </span></em>serves as an aural gateway to the plantations as it delves into the lived yet unspoken lives of those who work on and inhabit the plantations, both human and nonhuman. Accompanying the work,<span> </span><em>Sap Script</em><span> </span>is a text installation in white latex paint, referencing rubber sap, on a black, obsidian-like background. Its typeface echoes the slender and linear structure of rubber trees, distorted to resemble the waveform of sound waves. Through the intangible, unseen nature of sound, Sap Sonic probes aspects of the visual world; expanding the agentive possibilities of the uncounted and the underheard.<br /><br /><span>Upon her arrival in Vilnius, Lithuania, for her residency, </span><strong>Ngoc Nau</strong><span> was drawn to Soviet-era architectural elements in the city, such as the Soviet brutalist architecture of the Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports. She also became intrigued with the iconic image of a Lenin statue being removed, with its legs severed, from the city centre square in 1991. This imagery became a point of departure for her exploration into multifaceted aspects of post-Soviet realities in her own country. Portraying contemporary life amidst the remnants of socialist architecture and monuments using 3D animation and visual effects, Nau’s video installation, </span><strong><em>Virtual Reverie: Echoes of a Forgotten Utopia</em></strong><span>, demonstrates the transformative power of technology in reshaping our perceptions of reality. Central to the work is a constructed representation of the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Palace of Culture and Labour in Hanoi, Vietnam, that serves as a stage for five hip-hop dancers embarking on a symbolic journey. As they interact with elements drawn from historical references in Vietnam and Lithuania, the dancers bridge the gap between historical artifacts and contemporary experiences. Echoing the ebb and flow of ideologies, their passage brings about new meanings when past memories evolve in the face of shifting landscapes.<br /><br /><strong>Saroot Supasuthivech’s</strong> multimedia installation,<strong><em> Spirit-forward in G Major</em></strong>, charts the transformative journey experienced by Thai expatriates in Germany, told through a metaphoric cycle of life, death and rebirth. The work’s narrative unfolds in four parts. “New Beginnings” uses therapeutic dialogues to depict the initial migrant experience. “A Surreal Interlude”, based on interviews conducted with Thai monks and nuns in Berlin, transports viewers into a realm of magic and mortality inspired by Grimm’s fairy tales. The third segment focuses on a Thai music score <em>Sai Samon</em>, the oldest documented. Finally, “A Glimpse Beyond” dives into a poetic meditation on death and the afterlife, told from the viewpoint of the deceased. This poignant culmination is an exploration into a liminal reality between the familiar and the surreal, encapsulating the interplay of tradition, adaptation and preservation within an evolving cultural landscape.</span></p>

<p><strong><em>NTU CCA IdeasFest</em></strong> is a platform to catalyse critical exchange of ideas and encourage thinking “out of the box”. It links the artistic and academic communities with grassroots and self-organised initiatives and small-scale entrepreneurship. Following the global call for an ecological turn in art, architecture, and design,<em> NTU CCA IdeasFest 2023 FOOD</em> <em>Eat. Secure. Sustain. </em>presents projects that engage, investigate, and aim to ensure food security on a healthy planet. The vitality of food poses a wide-ranging set of questions and problems when confronted with nature’s diminishing capacity to nourish life as a result of harmful anthropocentric activity. Such challenges demand that we rethink our modes of production and consumption.</p>
<p>This third edition of IdeasFest draws relational links to improve the understanding of sustainable food systems and their urgencies, opening a pathway towards actionable steps to ensure food security. Current food practices are threatening both people and planet; more nourishing and sustainable ways of eating and producing need to be developed. This need to transform our societies towards socio-ecological sustainability is clear, but many proposals lack the concrete economic and political scaffolding necessary to make their implementation feasible.</p>
<p>The global food system encompasses all economic sectors, and understanding its components is essential for developing and executing effective measures to strengthen its sustainability. <em>IdeasFest 2023 FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain. </em>looks into how various technologies affect (traditional) food practices and culinary techniques, and which of these are valued. Food security hinges on sustainable food systems which are based on subsystems, including farming, waste management, and supply infrastructures, which in turn interact with trade, energy, and health systems.<br /><br /></p>
<p>Focusing on social interactions that connect academic research with artistic and cultural fields as well as with architecture and design applications, this edition draws a direct relation between human societies and their impact on the environment. It presents environmentally friendly ways of living, exploring regional crafts, reusing, repairing und upcycling. While scientific evidence on climate change and food scarcity is widely discussed, to materialise future-proof food communities, it requires socially robust and impactful proposals that create a relay between local perspectives and knowledge generated in academia. To address food related issues and the climate crisis in a continued dialogue is necessary, as there is a risk that the gravity and urgency of this crisis will not be fully comprehended.</p>
<p>As a platform to feature new initiatives, <em>NTU CCA Ideas Fest FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain</em>. is an invitation to share and engage in cooperative projects and collective experiences through workshops, site visits, screenings, performances, public installations, participatory projects, and a summit. This diverse programme will be enriched by presentations of start-up initiatives and public dialogues on how to support Singapore’s aspiration to meet 30% of its nutritional requirements domestically by 2030 collectively and individually. A two-day Ideas Conference will bring together a prominent group of architects, theorists, researchers, curators, designers, and community groups to discuss further ideas on sustainability, circular economy, food security, creative learning, and the potential of cultural heritage such as crafts and sustainable urbanism to envision a responsible future city.</p>

<strong>NTU CCA Singapore, Block 37 & 38 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks, Singapore<br />Exhibition Hours<br />Thursday, 16 February – Sunday, 19 February 2023<br />From 12.00 pm– 7.00pm </strong><br /><span>Free admission to all exhibitions</span><br /><br /><span><span>Five (5) exhibitions spread over four spaces at Gillman Barracks, deal with topics related to food waste management, urbanisation through the lens of food, lifestyle aspirations of a rising middle class, and how regenerative to solidarity agrarian practices can move us towards more local and regional food systems. <br /><br /><strong>HOO FAN CHON</strong><br />Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 38 Malan Road, #01-06, Singapore 109441<br /></span></span>
<p>This Exhibition was part of SEA AiR Studio Residencies for Southeast Asia Artists in the European Union Cycle 1, a programme funded by the European Union. Despite Hoo Fan Chon’s hope that the residency at Helsinki International Artist Programme would provide some respite from his obsession with fish-based iconography and symbolism, upon arriving in Helsinki the artist found himself immediately drawn to the salmon pink colour that commonly adorns buildings in Finland. This chromatic cue ignited his interest in issues of taste, class aesthetics, and fish culture triggering an erratic investigation about the cosmetic processing of farmed salmon, the environmental plight of this fish, and the social status of its consumption as a signifier of class and wealth. Inspired by amateur tutorials commonly found on YouTube, the video<span> </span><em>How to turn your siakap into salmon</em><span> </span>illustrates DIY techniques to colour fish. While the pink pigmentation of wild salmons is due to a natural diet made of krill and shrimp, the flesh of farmed salmon is off-white. In order to achieve the vibrant hue that makes salmon appealing to consumers, farmed salmons are regularly fed synthetic carotenoids, the health implications of which are still under scrutiny. In Southeast Asia, salmon is a luxury good and its consumption bespeaks the Western lifestyle aspirations of a rising global middle class.</p>
<p>The ironic speculation on how to “domesticate” a foreign species continues in<span> </span><em>I have never seen a swimming salmon in my life</em>. Accompanied by a voiceover by Sir David Attenborough borrowed from an advocacy campaign to protect salmon, the installation features 3D animations of salmon cuts—fillet, loin and streak—swimming inside a fish tank, a staple fixture in Chinese seafood restaurants. The artist’s familiar-yet-distant relation to salmon culminates with<span> </span><em>Finnish landscape painting series</em>, an installation featuring 13 paintings hung on a salmon pink wall. In this series, the artist introduced the motif of the proverbial “carp leaping over the dragon’s gate” and auspicious Chinese blessings into existing Finnish landscape paintings purchased in thrift shops around Helsinki. Both salmon and carps are known for their strength and jumping ability; in Chinese culture, the iconography of the leaping carp symbolises courage and perseverance leading to wealth and prestige.<br /><br /><strong>HELLO! I AM A BLACK SOLDIER FLY AND I AM TRANSFORMING THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM</strong><span></span><br /><span>Primary Contributor: NIRALY MANGAL</span><br /><span>Other Contributors: ADRIAN FUHRMANN, VARTIKA GOENKA , HENG CHIN WEE, SHAK THEESHWARI SILVARAJU, CHLOE TAN, TANG YONG JEN, YANYUN YAN, ZHANG QIHUI</span><br /><span>Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03, Singapore 109452</span><br /><br /><span>The small island state of Singapore imports 90% of food from overseas and uses less than 1% of its land for agricultural use. Developing approaches to an alternative food system based on insects, seaweed, microalgae or cultured meat can contribute to securing a resilient food future for Singapore and contribute to its “30 by 30” policy. But how do we create a circular food system in our cities? Food waste management holds the key to closing the loop. This exhibition demonstrates a nature-based solution for urban food waste management using the black soldier fly, the superfly that is transforming the global food system. It showcases how black soldier fly facilities convert local food waste into high-quality animal feed and fertilizers, which can then be used by other forms of urban agriculture, such as vertical or indoor farming and aquaponics. On display is your food’s journey from consumption to waste processing, showing how the black soldier flies upcycle it into by-products that carry valuable nutrients back into the food chain. This process not only helps to use land efficiently but also to synergise the built environment of Singapore with the social benefits of urban agriculture.</span><br /><br /><span>This research is a collaboration between researchers from the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore-ETH Centre and ETH Zurich. This research is supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore under its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) programme.</span><br /><br /><strong>THE JOURNEY OF FOOD</strong><br /><span>Primary Contributors: DR YUHAO LU, HELEN LEI FAN</span><br /><span>Other Contributors: ZI GUI TOH, MUHAMMAD IS’MAILL BIN AZMAN, KAIYU LU, JASPER PHANG WEE KEAT, ISABELL A MEO LOO YANSHAN</span><br /><span>Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 38 Malan Road, #01-05, Singapore 109441</span><br /><br /><span>Considering urbanisation through the lens of food is important as cities grow, particularly in Asia, where cities are consuming fertile agricultural land at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, the industrialised agricultural practices developed to meet the rising food demands of urbanising populations are degrading and residualising the countryside. Mitigating the impact of climate change on Singapore’s food security requires both short-term tactics and long-term strategies. This includes sustainable and smart production in source countries and locally in Singapore, as well as raising public awareness on food waste. Displayed is the journey of rice—one of Singapore’s staple food sources, from its cultivation, processing, transportation and arrival in Singapore. As an island nation that highly depends on imports, Singapore relies heavily on the global food chain to source even its most basic food ingredients. This interactive exhibition shows, in a playful way, the pressing food-related challenges and hardship of conventional food cultivation.</span><br /><br /><strong>POTENTIAL AGRITERRITORIES — AGRARIAN QUESTIONS AND AGROECOLOGICAL DESIGN</strong><span>. </span><strong>ARCHITECTURE OF TERRITORY</strong><span>.</span><br /><span>MILICA TOPALOVIC, KAROLINE KOSTKA, HANS HORTIG, ALICE CLARKE AND STUDENTS OF ETH EPFL MAS UTD</span><br /><span>Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 38 Malan Road, #01-07, Singapore 109441</span><br /><br /></p>
<p>With nearly half of the total land area on the planet dedicated to agricultural production, the urbanisation and industrialisation of agrarian territories have emerged among the most urgent impacts affecting ecologies and ecosystems around the world. Their effects include increasing dependence on fertilisers, pesticides and fossil fuels; depletion of soil fertility, water and natural resources; consumption of land; forced migration, and other disadvantages for local populations. Through fieldwork in agrarian regions supporting Zurich and Singapore, Potential Agriterritories explores critical questions emerging under 21st-century planetary urbanisation. We asked ourselves, what would be the alternatives to global food regimes that shape regional agricultural landscapes and local food cultures? Can we de-commodify agricultural territories of the Global North, such as those we encounter around Zurich? Can we decolonise plantations of the Global South, such as palm oil plantations surrounding Singapore? Can we re-examine the ways in which plants and animals are used in industrial food systems? How can novel and pioneering practices—from regenerative to solidarity agriculture—move us towards more local and regional food systems? What potential agrarianisms from today, and rural experiences from the past, may help restore relationships of care and reciprocity with soil and biodiversity?</p>
<p>The exhibition showcases parts of an evolving research and design archive created by Architecture of Territory at ETH Zurich. The two large maps explore urbanisation pro-cesses and their effects on emerging agricultural territories and landscapes in the metro-politan regions of Zurich (2023) and the Singapore-Johor-Riau (2015). Placed in dialogue, those maps present foreign and familiar (agricultural) landscapes with the intent to provoke critical reflection on regional, sustainable food production amongst the ongoing agricultural intensification and urbanisation. The video footage shows agricultural prac-tices in Singapore-Johor-Riau and around Zurich, including experimental and pioneering practices of permaculture, solidarity agriculture and biodynamic farming.<br /><br /><strong>SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS WITH MICROALGAE-BASED PROTEINS</strong><span></span><br /><span>DR. IRIS HABERKORN, BYRON PEREZ, HELENA SCHMITT, & CAROLE ZERMATTEN</span><br /><span>Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 37 Malan Road, #01-03, Singapore 109452</span><br /><br /><span>Despite decent intentions of establishing sustainable food systems to support a stead-ily growing global population, traditional food production systems and their associated value-chains are exceeding our planetary boundaries. Sustaining a growing and increasingly urbanised population will require the development of novel food production and processing concepts that focus on shifting traditional linear production concepts towards circular solutions. Singapore aims to increase its domestic, independent food supply and a population growing under highly urbanised constraints with the “30 by 30” initiative. However, arable land in Singapore is limited and traditional food production and processing methods alone cannot meet this goal. This exhibition highlights how a state-of-the-art urban single-cell protein production platform could support Singapore in reaching it using microalgae, embedded in the context of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals—and explores what microalgae looks like, how it grows and is processed as well as potential taste experiences</span></p>

Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works
<a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Artistic+Research">Artistic Research</a>
<p>NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore and the European Union Delegation to Singapore are pleased to present the exhibition <strong><em>Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works</em></strong>. The exhibition marks the culmination of the first cycle of <a href="https://ntu.ccasingapore.org/collaboration/sea-air/"><strong>SEA AiR—Studio Residencies for Southeast Asian Artists in the European Union (SEA AiR</strong>)</a>. As participating artists in the inaugural cycle of SEA AiR, <strong>Hoo Fan Chon</strong> (Malaysia), <strong>Citra Sasmita</strong> (Indonesia), and <strong>Vuth Lyno</strong> (Cambodia) have each been awarded a three-month-long residency at an art institution in Europe as well as funding for the creation of artworks.</p>
<p>In the first half of 2022, amidst unrelenting surges of the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the artists took off from their home countries to conduct three-month-long residencies: Hoo Fan Chon at <strong>HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme</strong> (Finland); Citra Sasmita at <strong>WIELS</strong> (Brussels, Belgium); and Vuth Lyno at <strong>Villa Arson</strong> (Nice, France). The artworks featured in the exhibition <em>Hoo Fan Chon, Citra Sasmita, Vuth Lyno: New Works</em> have been created by the artists in the months following their residencies, a much-needed time for critical reflection and material experimentation that allowed them to develop their research findings and creative inspiration into full-fledged artworks. Ranging from installation and video to sculpture and painting, some of these works also mark these artists’ first attempts at embracing new mediums and materials: 3D animation techniques for Hoo Fan Chon, video for Citra Sasmita, and paper for Vuth Lyno. Most importantly, they bear witness to how the artists’ interests in the cosmetics of food, cultural contaminations, decolonial practices, the empowerment of women, and the resilience of marginalised communities, have evolved over the last year.<br /><br /><span>In residence at </span><strong>HIAP—Helsinki International Artist Programme </strong><span>(Finland) from late February to late May, </span><strong>Hoo Fan Chon</strong><span> soon became fascinated by the salmon pink hue that adorns the facades of many buildings across Finland and its neighbouring countries. This chromatic cue tied in with the artist’s ongoing interest in issues of taste, class, and fish culture—the son of a fisherman, fish-based imagery and foodscapes are often the subject of his work. Hoo Fan Chon’s erratic investigation, imbued with a distinctive sense of irony, around the cosmetic processing of farmed salmon and the social status of salmon consumption as a signifier of class and wealth in Chinese culture resulted in a multimedia installation. </span><em>How to turn your siakap into salmon</em><span> is a video work, inspired by tutorials commonly found on YouTube, that illustrates DIY techniques to colour affordable fish in order to simulate a salmon-eating experience. The artist’s first experiment with 3D animation, the installation </span><em>I have never seen a swimming salmon in my life</em><span> projects swimming salmon cuts onto an aquarium with a voiceover about the plights that threaten the survival of salmons. </span><em>Finnish landscape painting series</em><span> is a series of painterly interventions on found paintings where Chinese blessings and images of the proverbial “carp leaping over the dragon’s gate” are inscribed onto landscape paintings that the artist sourced from thrift shops around Helsinki.</span><br /><br /><span>The artistic practice of </span><strong>Citra Sasmita</strong><span> revisits ancient Balinese mythologies and retools traditional artistic techniques and materials to address misconceptions that persist in contemporary society, especially with regard to the status of women. The residency at </span><strong>WIELS</strong><span> (Brussels, Belgium) from April to June enabled her to encounter and research the legacy of her ancestors held in European museum collections built during the colonial era by often dubious and unethical means. The installation </span><em>Timur Merah Project VIII: Pilgrim, How You Journey</em><span> revolves around the figure of I Dewa Agung Istri Kanya, a queen of the Klungkung kingdom in Bali, who fiercely opposed the Dutch colonisers in the 19th century. Ruled out from most historical accounts, the history of this charismatic woman leader is revived in Citra’s powerful imagery and interspersed with scenes from the Bhima Swarga epic depicting the hero’s journey between Heaven and Hell. Painted on traditional Kamasan canvases, the paintings are mounted on antique pillars arranged in an eight-pointed star configuration that references ancient Balinese cosmologies. The installation also comprises a double-channel video, the artist’s first video work, in which a singer performs the poem </span><em>Prelambang Bhasa Wewatekan </em><span>(</span><em>The Coded Language of Symbols</em><span>), written by the Queen herself. Underneath the tantric symbolism of the poem secretly lurk the Queen’s memoir, anti-Dutch propaganda messages, and military strategies.</span></p>
<p>Pursuing intersecting interests in architecture, the politics of space, and place-making practices, during the residency at <strong>Villa Arson </strong>(Nice, France) from March to May, <strong>Vuth Lyno</strong> had the opportunity to travel several times to the French capital and research the architectural remnants of the 1931 International Colonial Exposition which took place in the Bois de Vincennes, a forest park in Eastern Paris. He discovered that the former Cameroon Pavilion was turned into a Buddhist temple in the late 1970s. Following its conversion into a place of worship, the building and the surrounding greenery have come to play an important role in the spiritual, cultural, and social life of the Cambodian community in France. A migrant community’s appropriation of a site previously used to display colonial (mis)representations of those very communities led the artist to develop a broader reflection on the role of urban parks as sites of refuge wherein minorities and marginalised groups (sex workers, queer communities, the homeless, etc.) can find emancipation and enact their agency. The resulting installation <em>Vibrating Park-Forest </em>ensues from a comparative study of heterogenous uses and grassroots practices that unfold in specific parks in Paris, Phnom Penh, and Singapore. <em>Vibrating Park-Forest</em> is the artist’s first installation made of paper, a material he began to experiment with during his residency at Villa Arson.</p>

<p>From its first iteration in 2013, <em>Free Jazz</em> has pushed boundaries and expanded upon pressing concerns of our times. <em><strong>Free Jazz IV. Geomancers</strong></em> continues this approach, featuring artworks ranging from virtual reality to video, performance, and sound as an exercise in planetary awareness. The exhibition presents significant artistic practices from across the globe that are deeply invested in creating an environmental consciousness and that share an understanding of the world as a vulnerable, yet resilient, mesh of coexistences, correlations, and co-creations. As with geomancy, these artworks can help us to read the signs that our planet is trying to send us and that they can inspire a stronger commitment to create a sustainable future for life on Earth.</p>
<p>Alongside scientists, environmental activists, enlightened policy makers and civil society members, contemporary artists are increasingly concerned with future prospects of ecological collapse and planetary survival. They address these issues through the language of art, creating images, sounds, narratives, and experiences that allow us to establish affective and cognitive connections with the environment and partake in the planetary intelligence of the Earth. Stemming from NTU CCA Singapore’s ongoing engagement with the overarching subject of <em>Climates.Habitats. Environments.</em>, <em>Free Jazz IV. Geomancers</em> brings together a selection of creative practitioners who are distinctly alert to these urgencies.</p>
<p>Conceived for Singapore Art Week 2022, this programme consists of a film screening series, a virtual reality installation, a performance and a sound installation. Some of the featured artworks zero in on signs of earthly demise, others indicate pathways of resilience and strategies for regeneration. All the works result from long-term research and extensive fieldwork and, when presented together, they engender a kaleidoscopic overview of the multitudinous forms of ecological entanglements.</p>
