Explore identity, history and politics through “Cinerama”, Singapore Art Museum’s latest exhibition

The works of 10 contemporary artists and art collectives from the region, featuring artist loans, specially-commissioned artworks, and a selection from the Singapore Art Museum collection are coming together to construct a discourse on identity, history, politics, and the future of cinema at the Singapore Art Museum. “Cinerama: Art and the Moving Image in Southeast Asia” aims to delve into individual and collective memories on the aforementioned themes by way of animations, films and video installations.

The exhibition showcases works from the following artists:  Amy Lee Sanford (USA/ Cambodia), Hayati Mokhtar (Malaysia), Jeremy Sharma (Singapore), Korakrit Arunanondchai (Thailand) and Alex Gvojic (USA), Ming Wong (Singapore), Narpati Awangga a.k.a oomleo (Indonesia), Sarah Choo Jing (Singapore), The Propeller Group (USA/ Vietnam), Tromarama (Indonesia) and Victor Balanon (Philippines).

 

“Despite the proliferation of visual production and consumption that characterises our present time, artists continue to find new ways to relate to the moving image, challenging both its representations and forms. Presenting the recent works by artists from the region, the exhibition highlights the shifting boundaries between the moving image, film and art; reflecting, too, the dynamic and deft ways in which artists can transform the media, even as the media itself continues to evolve,” explains Dr. June Yap, director of curatorial, programmes and publications at the Singapore Art Museum.
