 EXHIBITION/FORUM/DIALOGUES  ---  THIRD TO TWENTIETH OF  AUGUST 10 AM-10PM.



1] THE EXHIBITION
-----------------

Eleven artists have installed ten site specific works around the Marine Parade
Community Building -- from the public toilets to the rooftops.

An aim of the exhibition is to juxtapose the perceptive and playful ways to
interrogate conceptual, geographical, vocational and socio-political
boundaries.

Another focus is to explore the kinds of formal and conceptual dialogues
arising from a meeting between interdisciplinary artists,the works, the
snazzy new Marine Parade Community Building and the local Marine Parade
population.

The sub-title for this project, "Encounters with New Model Communities" is
thus gently tongue in cheek -- as if drawing from legoland-utopias. And the
word "Encounters" is similarly self ironic -- referring to the
naively-optimistic artist who aspires to engage "the local".
