When Producing Exhibitions is a Collaborative Effort
Art collectives and independent spaces offer a different approach to curation
In recent years, art collectives and independent art spaces have increasingly engaged with exhibition-making, giving rise to different approaches to curating that catalysed cultural and artistic activity in their localities. This will be highlighted through the programming of Esplanade’s Visual Arts in 2022, with a key programming focus on featuring collaborative forms of exhibition-making alongside collectives and artist-run spaces.
This conversation outlines the various activities and visions of entities we are working with, namely Sa Sa Art Projects that is based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and Moving Picture Experiment Group and Supernormal.space from Singapore. This talk reflects on how collaborative models of production have impacted artistic and curatorial practice especially in the context of Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Collaborative Exhibition Making is part of SAW Dialogues 2022, organised by National Arts Council in partnership with Art & Market as part of Singapore Art Week.
