Art and
society in 1950s: A Discussion Series on Art Collectives and
Community HIGHLIGHT
In conjunction
with A Heroic Decade: Singapore Art 1955–1965
A Special
Showcase in Conjunction with Singapore’s 40th Year of Independence
Celebration
Driven by the local and global
realities of post-colonial economic and political situations,
social realism, beyond an aesthetic import, took root in Singapore
as one of the anchors of local art practice. Art associations in
the 1950s were crucial in spreading these critical ideas of art
making. The talk series examines the role of such art associations
and culminates in a forum which will consider the circumstances
that promoted interests for socially-oriented artistic approaches
in the 1950s and explore how universal elements of social realism
were absorbed into the local context. Invited discussants, drawn
from a range of artists practising during the period, will reflect
on their experiences and thoughts.
All talks are in Mandarin.
