CCA Artist-in-Residence Koh Nguang How presents this exhibition based on rare materials from Shui Tit Sing’s personal archives and represents a microcosm of artists’ practice at a time that had been shaped by rapid globalisation. Shui was an active member of Singapore’s arts community in the 60s and 70s, whose oeuvre had been shaped by Western painting training in China and travels to Cambodia and Thailand in the 60s - a “golden age” of Southeast Asia.
The Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA Singapore) is a research centre of Nanyang Technological University, developed with support from the Economic Development Board, Singapore. Located in Gillman Barracks alongside a cluster of international galleries, CCA Singapore is led by Founding Director Professor Ute Meta Bauer. CCA Singapore takes a holistic approach towards art and culture, intertwining its three platforms: Exhibitions, Residencies and Research.
CCA Singapore positions itself as a centre for critical discourse and experimental practices for Singapore, the region and beyond. It aims to play an active role within the local art scene, as well as being a part of the development of regional and international art infrastructures.
