The Future of Imagination
The Substation
6 December 2003
Organized by Lee Wen and Kai Lam
Performance Art practice in Singapore has been marginalized over the last 10
years due to lack of support and lack of understanding for this form and have
resulted in a dispersed practice without much critical understanding and
discourse for this form. Despite all this, Singapore performance artists have
persistently showcased their works in many international festivals and art
events with critical acclaim. Some of the artists who patiently engaged their
work in this form include Tang Dawu, Amanda Heng, Jason Lim, Lee Wen as well as
various new generation artists, working individually or with groups such as the
Artists Village and KYTV (Kill Your Television).
With the recent announcement that the National Arts Council will now allow
funding of performance art after ten years of not funding, we would like to make
an affirmative response by organizing this event to celebrate, acknowledge and
welcome the pro-cultural move by the National Arts Council.
We also aspire to reinvigorate a positive situation for performance art
practitioners in Singapore. This event aims to significantly re-define and to
kindle interests to the practice of performance art. In doing so we hope this
will raise a heightened awareness and appreciation for performance art as a
legitimate art form in itself.
We appeal to seek out a more leveled understanding to this art form and to
positively present it as a critical art practice along with the diverse cultural
arenas in visual arts, theatre, dance, music and literature. The future of
imagination” makes available a platform for the meeting of performance art
practice, positive reception and discussion in Singapore.
