Residencies Insight: Mapping Institutional Models by Riksa Afiaty (Indonesia), Curator-in-Residence

What kind of structures determine the need for art institutions in specific contexts? What is the role of art institutions in Singapore and what perspective on art are they shaping? Interested in how art institutions operate within the socio-political climate they endure, Riksa Afiaty explores ideas and models to produce alternative ways of thinking about art focusing primarily on institutions that use art as a tool to engage with social issues. In the context of this talk, Singapore is framed as a site where different kind of institutions coexist—independent art spaces and collecting institutions, archival practices and research-based organizations—in order to raise questions about production and participation and to address potential, albeit not necessarily probable, scenarios for the arts and the broader cultural sphere.
