Sculpture Square is presenting its
5th Anniversary exhibition entitled "reformasi" from 9 June 2004 to
29 August 2004. Reformasi is co-curated by Sculpture Square's
Tay Swee Lin and guest curator Singapore based Iola Lenzi.
|
|
The exhibition, featuring
14 Indonesian Artists in the post-1998 era, will be the largest and most
comprehensive exhibition of Indonesian contemporary art shown in Singapore.
|
|
Southeast Asia's largest and most
populous country, has experienced radical change at every level of society
since the fall of President Suharto in the spring of 1998. Economic
instability, ethic dislocation, geographic disintegration, communalism and
political uncertainty all threaten the nation in ways that were unpredictable
less than a decade ago.
|
|
Yet as contemporary Indonesians
grapple with each new crisis, the challenges they face are reflected in
increasing openness in the press. And as society becomes freer, contemporary
artists are reacting to a less controlled but ever more complex environment,
in sophisticated and creative ways.
|
|
With reformasi, the largest and
most comprehensive survey of Indonesian contemporary art shown in Singapore,
this Sculpture Square initiated and organised exhibition seeks to give
contemporary Indonesian practitioners a voice.
|
|
Their work is sometimes radically
innovative in concept or form, and their art, in the expression of their
concerns and reactions to life as it unfolds in this unsettling world of
challenge and promise, cannot fail to engage universal audience.
|
|
Admission is free and all are
welcome. Exhibition opening hours: 11am to 6pm (Mon - Sun, excluding Public
Holiday)

Venue: The Chapel Gallery,
Sculpture Square, 155 Middle Road Singapore 188977.
