Community Art

It is interesting that the custodian who laid the foundation of this painting are the nurses, doctors, patients and visitors form the Singapore General Hospital, I imagine the red fingerprints as red blood cells from different blood groups and races. They depict our multi-racial society in great harmonisation. The heart shapes signify our four major races, and as a whole, most importantly, we are one people, one nation, one Singapore, that’s the way we will be forever more.

This exhibition features 50 mobile phone art works. This latest series of Tan Haur deals with issues of globalization continued from his previous series of Global Eyes; additionally the art works are digitally aged on purpose to a state they should be in a hundred years later in time. Altogether, the experience of this exhibition compels a viewer to see the situations of current world issues, their beauty and adverse, with a perspective of a person’s view a hundred years later. 

In this exhibition, there are works that include collaborations with French artists, Marie-Sophie Leturcq (Winner of 2nd France + Singapore Photographic Arts Award 2013) and Thomas Kimmerlin (Finalist of 2nd France + Singapore New Generation Artists 2010), Australian artist Jack Gamble and Singaporean artists Huei Lee, Sam Hong and Chun Chuan.

Global Eyes: Monsoon Rain

ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE DE SINGAPOUR, 1 Sarkies Road – Societe Generale Gallery. It is 29th November 2013 and there is a monsoon outside. A monsoon. Rain, wind, beams of lightning. I keep looking out the window expecting a whale to fly by… or at the very least a dolphin. Sipping coffee when its raining and am now trying to trace the journey that has led me here, attempting to figure out how and where it all started. My life has certainly not followed any  prescribed path. I refuse to accept absolute answers in exchange for gentle truths, and I count my wealth in the ability to own my dreams and pursue them when I wake up each morning. I abandon any faith as being entirely right, but rather recognize the fact that each one contains so many truths and accept the goodness and compassion of each as the juice and gift of life. I challenge my students to be citizens of the world and to rejoice in the differences they experience and encounter. They are black, brown, yellow, and white. All as one family on this living planet where we sing, dance, music and art.
