EX PARTE

EXPATRIATE EXPERIENCE EXPANSION EXPOSURE EXCURSION EXCHANGE In the year of Singapore’s 50th Anniversary of independence, there has been a global cultural campaign to celebrate Singaporean arts and creative industries. In June 2015, the Singapore Tourism Board presents the travelling structure, Singapore: Inside Out, which as part of its tour of 3 major global cities, will pop up in Shoreditch London to introduce a range of handpicked artists from different disciplines. As an official partner event to Singapore: Inside Out, the visual arts exhibition EX PARTE reflects on these cultural events via the lens of artists who have sojourned at home and away, and who continue to maintain connections to their home as well as beyond their original localities. What are experiences of those who have travelled from their homeland to another, and can examine at once, the perspectives of both, and the connections, confluences and conflicts between the two? Where are the points and modes of negotiation, and constructed specificities? EX - marks the activating co-ordinates. This exhibition brings together striking works and engaging talks by Singaporean and UK artists who have spent time living and working in London and Singapore. Via photography, print, handmade work, sculpture, video, communication technologies and live performance, they use a variety of intriguing modalities to demonstrate complex and rich ways of being, transiting and connecting to wider audiences in UK and beyond.
