Eric CHAN's work
addresses the issue of how we register objects and remember the
fleetingly glimpsed. His recent paintings can be read as a
continuation of impressionistic exploration; they evoke emphemeral
shifts between "presence" and "absence". Eric
has exhibited in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia and his work is
in both public and private collections. |

The billboard replica
installed at The Substation Garden is based on a photo-postcard of
an old HMV billboard. This is the second work that Alan OEI has done

Arts Council, The Lee Foundation and Colorland. |

Romeo
& Juliet
|
|
Presented by Phoenix
International (S) Pte Ltd. An I-Theatre with ImagineArts production.
|
|
For people who think
that Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful love story, this may come as
somewhat of a shock. it is time to wake up and smell the roses.
Roses drenched in blood. Teenagers living in a world of violence
created by the hatred of their parents. A pointless, needless
tragedy in a society where businessmen and gangsters think they can
challenge the rule of law. |

Organised by
Centrestage.

The Beijing Opera Troupe
will radically alter any preconceived notions that the artform is
meant for Chinese-speaking grandads and grandmas. Instead, this
highly-acclaimed troupe has modernised China's age-old theatrical
art with an adrenaline rush that captivates audiences from all walks
of life, young or old. |
|
The performance in
Singapore will highlight six of the great Chinese classics, as well
as a full-length feature of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. To fully
appreciate the vibrant performance, pay attention to the remarkable
acrobatics, face painting and the art of the glance (eye movements). |

To
Share The Landscape - An installation by Nathalie Junod Ponsard
|
|
The visitor's eye is
invited to go through the screens to come back on its
monochromatic edge. Instantaneously visible landscape is behind
the coloured screens and as a result gives the space a fluctuating
appearance. The screen idea generates numerous centres and de-centres.
The eye dives into the screen to guess an image of an uncertain
space in which we are included.

Thin
Air - Minimalist Episode
|
|
A dance theatre
performance by Jux3 Production. Choreographer: Joavien NG. |
|
Despite living in a
prevailing culture of materialism, the cult of minimalism
nevertheless seems to have infiltrated the many aspects of our
lives: from architecture to interior decor, fashion accessories and
office stationery, to home appliances. |
|
Using dance theatre as a
primary medium, together with set installation, projected moving
images and alternative costume design, Thin Air - Minimalist Episode
examines the truth behind the trend. Have we found the balance in
our cluttered minds or is this yet another fad that will fade?
