The IMPART Collectors’ Show 2019 spotlights visually arresting and unusual works of Asian contemporary art from Singapore-based collections. The exhibition, Fabulous Monsters, demonstrates the depth and risk-taking among private collectors based in Singapore today.
About
In times of conflict and uncertainty, one of the responses of contemporary artists has been a retreat from the horrors of our social-political realities into an inner world of dreams and the fantastic. Yet this trajectory is no simple escape from life. The dream-like worlds created by contemporary artists are also ways in which the rich repertoire of visual iconography in Asia are cleverly deployed to critique the current social-political fractures in oblique and suggestive ways beyond polemical positions.
Organised by Art Outreach with curatorial advisor and jury chair of the IMPART awards, Tan Boon Hui, Vice President of Global Arts & Cultural Programs and Director of Asia Society Museum, Fabulous Monsters will be held at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands from 17 January to 2 February 2019.
Join us at our public symposium on 26 January 2019 to better appreciate the visual arts. A panel discussion will correspondingly be held with prominent local and regional collectors featured in the exhibition
LOCATION: Expression, Curiosity and Inspiration Galleries, Level 4
