PANEL DISCUSSION: ART AS HISTORICAL METHOD IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Sat 25 Feb I 3 PM I National Gallery Singapore,
Supreme Court Wing, Glass Room, Level 4M I
Free, registration required

How can contemporary art create new ways of understanding the past?
This panel explores the turn toward history in Southeast Asian contemporary art practice, how it offers models for the ways in which we understand the past and the work that history can do in the world. Panellists will discuss works by Dinh Q. Le, Yee I-Lann and Ho Tzu Nyen, whose practices draw upon historical photographs, cultural artefacts, collage, video and performance to consider the roles of history and memory in the making of social experiences in colonial and postcolonial Southeast Asia.

The panel will feature Dương Mạnh Hùng, Goh Sze Ying, Issa Yi Xian Sng, Mark Philip Bradley and Seng Yu Jin. The discussion will be moderated by Patrick Flores (Deputy Director of Curatorial & Research, National Gallery Singapore).

This programme is part of "Art as Historical Method," a collaborative project between the National Gallery Singapore and The American Historical Review.
There will be a short tour in the galleries after the panel, with a chance to see some of the works that will be discussed. Participants who wish to join are kindly reminded that Gallery Passes are required and should be booked separately in advance.
