Art Against AIDS 1999
First Prize
5 Bookmarks From A Memo Against AIDS
Jeremy Sharma
My painting represents the 5 most important aspects of fighting against AIDS.
Ribbon: Knowing about AIDS does not mean you are immune to it. Open Heart:
Represents your acceptance of AIDS and not discriminating against people with
AIDS (PWAs) through hypocrisy and ignorance. Condom: The right sexual attitude
comes with protection and knowing everyone is a potential target of HIV. Book:
Education is the greatest weapon against AIDS. Milk Bottle: If not enough is
done to help the thousands of children infected daily, how can we expect to
protect our future children from this disease?

KYTV (Kill Your Television)
Kill Your Television (KYTV) was formed in early 2002. Based in Singapore it is
best known for its performance art projects. In 2003, they embarked on several
projects in collaboration with other groups like FUNdaMENTAL Multi-Disciplinary
as well as dance company Arts Fission.
KYTV is the brain-child of Aaron Kao, Jeremy Sharma and Rizman Putra, graduates
of the LASALLE-SIA College of The Arts, Bachelor of Fine Art degree programme.
Besides being deeply rooted in a visual art foundation, they make music together
in a band called TIRAMISU. KYTV was formed because they wanted an outlet to
explore other artistic interests other than music and visual arts. Their concept
for KYTV is to explore the boundaries of various art forms like writing,
movement, music, painting, videography etc and to create new works. Since the
birth of KYTV, this collective has become well known performance art
practitioners in Singapore.
At present, KYTV are Aaron Kao, Rizman Putra, Jeremy Sharma, Dovan Ong, Choy Ka
Fai and associate artists (Jon Chan, Serena Ho and Vijay Singh).
