Art Stage Singapore 2014 kicks off visual arts season in Singapore
Art Stage Singapore opens on 16 January 2014 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on a high note as the flagship Asian art event of the region. With its new fair format, a strong showing of new and returning galleries and a comprehensive outreach and art education programme, Art Stage Singapore 2014 firmly places Singapore on the global art map, bolstering the city-state's position as the leading centre of contemporary art in the Asian region.
Eight country & regional platforms: best of Asian contemporary art
Art Stage Singapore's fourth edition introduces eight country and regional Platforms that offer an immersive and comprehensive experience of contemporary Asian art for visitors to the fair. The Platforms provide a contextual understanding of art from Asia Pacific, showcasing an impressive total of 70 exciting projects from the region, presented in a museum-like exhibition layout. Art Stage Singapore collaborates with leading international curators in selecting and curating the artworks for each of these country and regional Platforms; the Platform curators are Aaron Seeto (Australia), Charles Merewether (Central Asia), Huang Du (China), Bose Krishnamachari (India), Mami Kataoka (Japan), Kim Sung Won (Korea) and Rudy Tseng (Taiwan). All artists exhibiting artworks at the Platform exhibitions are represented by their respective galleries.
The Southeast Asia Platform, being the largest platform of all, will present 31 works from the region. Featured artists in the Southeast Asia Platform include Jane Lee (Sundaram Tagore Gallery), Jeremy Sharma (Michael Janssen Singapore/Berlin), and Donna Ong and Robert Zhao Renhui (Primo Marella Gallery) from Singapore; Victor Balanon (Artinformal) and Maria Taniguchi (Silverlens) from the Philippines; and Manit Kantasak (Whitespace Gallery Bangkok) from Thailand and Anida Yoeu Ali (JavaArts) from Cambodia.
Other platforms present works by both emerging and established artists such as Sam Jinks (Sullivan+Strumpf for Australia), Askhat Akhmediyarov (Central Asia), Yang Fudong (ShanghART for China), Sakshi Gupta (Galerie Krinzinger for India), Tatsuo Miyajima (Lisson Gallery for Japan), Seung-Woo Back (Gana Art for Korea) and Wu Tien-Chang (Tina Keng Gallery for Taiwan).
