The unofficial Singapore contingent arrived in Brisbane today. Spotted at the APT6 were Low Sze Wee, Joyce Toh and other folks from NAG and SAM, Lee Weng Choy of The Substation, Agnes Lim of The Esplanade, Eugene Tan of Osage Gallery, and Jose Tay of the National Museum (although he’s been here for some weeks now, on official attachment to the Queensland Art Gallery). I bet that, like yours truly, they weren’t able to check out the ongoing Open House  back in Singapore, which ends on Sunday. From what I gather, some say the three-day event that involves some house-hopping at Niven Road to check out artists’ works has been fab. But there have also been some lively discussions online about the $12 admission/tour fees, too. Anyway, I did catch some interesting talks at APT6, including Subodh Gupta's on the creation of his mammoth mushroom cloud installation, and another on North Korean “contemporary” art. More on these two in the next post.
