The Center for Contemporary Art (CCA) Singapore was developed by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with support of Singapore's Economic Development Board. Located in Gillman Barracks alongside a cluster of international galleries, the CCA operates as a local hub with an international perspective under the leadership of Professor Ute Meta Bauer, the CCA’s Founding Director. CCA embraces academic and scholarly research with contemporary art as knowledge production in its own right. CCA incorporates a holistic approach towards art and culture, intertwining a variety of programmes from exhibitions, public programmes to research and residencies.
Paradise Lost introduces an imaginary Asia — Asia as conceived from afar bringing together key works by Trinh T. Minh-ha, Fiona Tan and Zarina Bhimji.
A series of events including exhibition tours, artist’s talk, lectures complement the exhibition Paradise Lost. Each event is an opportunity to get an insight into an exhibition from a different perspective.
