ARE W E TO O P RAG MAT I C FO R ART?

Yes, the first few months had been painful for us. I’m sure the past 9 or so months have seen some of us tempting the urge to smash our heads into the nearest wall, tearing up our work and breaking into hysterical fits alternating between laughing and crying. I’m not sure how our Glaswegian counterparts did, but I imagine that we’d have struggled more when we first faced the briefs, and if that is true, what could be the contributing factor? Singaporeans are by large, relatively more conservative compared to westerners, as a country that is known to be so efficient, we’re used to SOPs, in other words, we’re used to being told what to do, and we do have a pragmatic approach in doing almost everything. As much as it is laudable that there has been increased government funding towards promoting Art and Design in Singapore (the opposite is true in the UK, from what I’ve read), and support for the Arts is at an unprecedented level, I’ve sometimes felt that Is Singapore the government has always been a well-meaning ready for ideas parent, one who supports the child financially, never being truly involved and understanding that could be but what the child is doing.
controversial and radical?
We always read about the importance of “a well-rounded education” here, but do we understand what is in it for us and what does it take to be an “all-rounder” here? Is Singapore ready for ideas that could be controversial and radical? As well as the metacriticism and narcissism quite commonly found in much of contemporary art in the western world? I’m raising these questions not because I am dismissing the importance of art’s tendency to overanalyse every single thing. In fact, I think art school is the time where one actually has time to cultivate inquisitiveness about every single thing, as I think that many of us don’t think about thinking enough.
Christine Neo
Design definitely plays a greater role here compared to the fine arts in Singapore as it is seen as economically more viable and practical, but for the time I’ve been in GSAS, most of the projects we’ve worked on probably be seen as “practical” in polytechnics. The designer here is still commonly seen as somebody who magically churns out “nice design”, and I’m sure design students get the “don’t you just draw/make models?” and the “it’s so easy, you don’t even have to study for exams”. To those people who’ve ever made that comment or if that thought have ever crossed your mind, I’m pretty sure you don’t even know the proper way to eat a Tim Tam biscuit. For prospective students thinking you don’t need to use your brain, hahaha you’re funnier than there should Santa Claus in a leotard.
also be a shift in the view of how art and design is viewed here in Singapore.
Anyway, I’ve been wondering what SIT had in mind for us when the partnership was made with the Glasgow School of Art. I think there has recently been quite a few occasions where the Ministry of Education, gives us a taste of the curriculum of famed institutions around the world, Goldsmiths, MIT and Duke, and after the investment, hopefully we’d turn out to be one fifth as good as the students who studied at the home campus, if direct proportion of fees paid here and there and the knowledge gained here and there applies.
I hope that if the Ministry of Education has got grand plans for us to become leaders in the art and design field, to contribute in shaping the burgeoning creative scene here, there should also be a shift in the view of how art and design is viewed here in Singapore. If we’re expected to do work for a few shopping vouchers or free alcohol, or that the creative process could be ignored, then I think there’s still a lot of room to work on for artistic and creative education, nevertheless, I see these partnerships as a step towards the liberal model of education, which is sorely needed. I’m sure change will happen slowly, and for me, that is the best kind of change.

Just a 50-minute boat ride away from Singapore, lies Bintan, a tranquil island situated in the Riau Archipelagos of Indonesia. Mention Bintan, and what spirals into mind is the mental image of beautiful island resorts, just a short trip away from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. However, Bintan is not just an island resort. With the land area of about 978 sq mi, it is very sparsely populated and is home to 334,875* people. The locals are made up of the Malays, Bugis, Chinese and the Orang Lauts (also known as the Sea Gypsies). A few short months ago, Frazer MacDonald Hay, the director of the Glasgow School of Art Singapore, and Leong Huey Miin, lecturer in Interior Design, led a handful of interior design students up to Bintan, for an observation trip to one of the villages by the sea. The students were tasked to help design and create a tourist attraction in the village. This attraction would help create awareness about the village, and at the same time generate extra income for the sea gypsies, allowing them to be self-sustaining. Currently, like all other sea villages, their main income derives from fishing. However, due to complications of nautical boundaries between countries over the years, the sea gypsies are now limited to a smaller fishing area. This affects their income notably, and the building of a tourist attraction would be of significant help to alleviate the village's situation.
Having been born of a generation that has never experience life in a kampong village, this trip was an eye opening experience for the group. Though the lives of the sea gypsies may not contain the comforts that we are used to, the smiles they constantly wear on their faces is one that is unforgettable, especially the ones on the faces of the children. At the end of the day, the question each student brought home was similar. How would they come up with a design that would not intrude in the locals way of life, but at the same time celebrate the rich culture of the sea gypsies? For now the project is still a work in progress, but we look forward to hearing more about the developments and news from the GSA Bintan team.

GSA is very proud to collaborate with the Museum of Contemporary Arts for our end of year show. Located on Dempsey Hill, a place famous for its restaurants as well as fine antiques and galleries. It might be surprising to learn that the area was once the Central Manpower Base of Singapore and former British army barracks during the Colonial period. We had an opportunity to talk to Shahirah Jasni, Museum Marketing and Public Relations Manager. Through her answers, it was obvious to anyone that she stands firm in promoting art not usually brought in by national museums.
Christine Neo
How does your museum curate and select works? Are they mainly from the region? There really isn’t any one size fits all method when it comes to curating an exhibition, but it does help to be managed by a gallery established in Chinese and Indonesian contemporary art and affiliated with an auction house. MoCA’s mission is to complement the existing museums through presentations of artists that are usually not brought in by the national museums. Contemporary art deals with the present hence, it is even more imperative that we educate the public on the variety of artists and mediums in the market. We have over the past four years brought China contemporary artists such as Jiang Shuo and Fang Li Jun, who in their own right have gained prominence through the quality of their works and the subjects they discuss.
On the selection of the artists, the works must discuss intriguing subjects that are relevant to the public, for example in Fang Li Jun’s ‘Documenta’, the Solo exhibition strongly reflects how an individual’s life is shaped and influenced by the major transformations of the Chinese society, as well as to reflect on how this specific historical background had caused an impact on artistic creations.
Could you give us an idea of the things that art collectors in the market here look out for? Does MoCA exhibit works of known artists, or do you try to look at new and upcoming artists? As we’re a museum, we do not sell artworks. However, we’ve noticed patterns in our collectors for our auction house and gallery. It really depends on where the collectors are from. Singapore collectors are keener on artworks that they are able to relate to. Simply put, they are buying an emotion or a philosophical idea that the artists have put into the work. This is because Singapore collectors are buying artworks with their own hard-earned money. Comparatively, to European collectors who generally come from a more mature art society, they tend to look at the techniques. With Chinese contemporary artists, they tend to experiment with a lot more mediums and new techniques as they try to break away or merge East and West, hence offer unique techniques. But at the end of the day, art is personal and it is subjective so this observation is not always true.

In Communication Design, we delve deep into history, to understand the past before we can design with a vision for the future, relating and engaging with social cultural and political contexts, establishing an inventive and critical approach to solving design problems. We not only regard the aesthetics highly, but also feel that the research process is essential to communicate ideas beyond the surface. Through the mediums of Graphic Design, Illustration and Photography, students are encouraged to explore every area and adopt the mentality of failing to succeed, to realize and fulfill their potentials in each specialty.

THE FEARLESS FILMMAKER Christina Choo
Christina Choo was calm and composed, as she sat down with WOLF for an impromptu interview. She answered every question in detail, leading us through her adventurous days as a student and young filmmaker, and shared with us her love for diving and the creatures below our waters. Not forgetting how it was like struggling to be a young creative, Christina is one of the few lecturers that understands the difficulties of being a student. Christina enrolled in Temasek Polytechnic’s Diploma in Visual Communications Course, determined to pursue her dream in arts, even though she scored A’s in Mathematics and Science. During those three years, she found her love for moving images and animation. Not one to keep within her comfort zones in film making, Christina went out to try and challenge every single rules of film language, emerging successful in the end and learning a lot from mistakes made. However she feels that the education system in Singapore has changed a lot in the past 10 years; what used to be open to discussion, and the freedom to explore is now restricted by grid-like rules of how students are graded, and a majority of students feel and act according to those guidelines. Believing that as long as you have an idea, one can make anything happen, she sheepishly admitted to going so far as to create an explosion with her project group at a secluded place to get a real explosive effect for a film they were working on. Her degree then took her to Brisbane, where she entered Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Being slightly dyslexic, she still pushed on to major in film and TV, and even minored in theatre and psychology. After one and
Lim Yan Lin
half years of studying, she graduated and stayed on to work in QUT for a couple of years before getting her masters, which allowed her to hone her craft in scriptwriting and filming. Talking about odd jobs and internships she says, “Truth is you don’t really know or learn all the technical ins and outs of any industry until you get out there to work, and you go through one year of pure slavery till you pave your way into this industry”. Drawing her I am a people inspiration from watcher and I politics, global cultural and am crazy about enviromental human condition issues, as well as daily life, for her and psychology. works, Christina Most of the tells us, “I am a time I write people watcher and I am crazy from lifetime about human experiences” condition and psychology. Most of the time I write from lifetime experiences”. When asked about the people who inspires her, Christina names the late Steve Jobs and Banksy, but she is mostly inspired by film makers such as Wong Kar-Wai and Ang Lee. She also admires actors and actresses, and how they are able to hold themselves and have their way of living
even when they are scrutinized every day. Christina tells us that “The most important thing you learn is to respect yourself and respect the craft. You will be role model for all these people, students and children in the world, if you don’t know how to live, you don’t know how to enjoy your life and your life will be a waste.” Besides filming on land, Christina is an avid diver who has dived along the coast of Philippines, east Malaysia and Australia, with a group called the Deep Diving Devils; filming what they see underwater and posting them up to dive shops to create awareness for the people on land, showing the beautiful waters, and emphasizing the importance of keeping it pollution-free. Her next adventure would be diving along the Great Wall of China, and to try and find the lost underwater Lion City. Nearing the end of the interview, this WOLF reporter sneakily asks Christina to tell us the craziest thing she ever did in her life. Taking a moment to filter out anything too explicit to publish, she laughs and tells us an interesting snippet of how she went sky diving whilst nursing a hangover, “One day I wanted to do something silly and it was my friend’s birthday, so we went clubbing and sometime in the middle of the night we squeezed into a car, drove 4 hours out of Brisbane, reached there in the wee hours of the morning really hung over, went through two hours of training and jumped out of the plane, that really woke me up!” We thus ended this interview by asking her to complete the sentence “I have a soft spot for ______”, and her answer is, “laugher”.

STILL WATERS RUN DEEP You might not have known much about him from his few words and quiet demeanour, but WOLF managed to sniff Nicholas Ang out, and got to know him under the sweltering heat of the afternoon. As an avid runner who has participated in a few marathons, the heat is probably nothing to him, but lately Nicholas has been busy with something else outdoors – photographing an unseen side of Singapore.
Nicholas Ang
Ranked as his favourite project so far, he talks about how materialistic society is, even in death; with the pursuit of grand funerals and burning elaborate paper houses. In four weeks, he photographed and interviewed sellers of hell notes, joss sticks and effigies, making use of light to create the mood in his photos, and to emphasize the importance of the human element. With a preference for Japanese dramas in the slice-of-life genre, it is no wonder that his photos portray a certain human emotion in them. Besides photography, Nicholas has a growing passion for graphic design, something he only discovered while previously studying in an animation course. He draws his inspiration from advertisements, illustrations and recently, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, who uses unconventional angles to shoot his photos. Lastly, when asked about the craziest thing he ever did in life, well, let’s just say it is too explicit to even have it published. You might have to ask him yourself.

A PENCHANT FOR THE MACABRE Lucky for WOLF, during a busy submission week, we were able to catch up with a pretty narcoleptic Sophia at 5am about her latest projects, inspirations and influences. With a love for reading, it is no wonder that Sophia is heavily inspired by the imagination and morality one can find in literature, and she attempts to translate them visually through her work. However, she admits that there is a perpetual sinister disposition that is portrayed in her ideations, which stems from her convulsive/compulsive addiction to watching films like those of Harmony Korine, which she describes as fantastically mad. When tackling a project, she spends half her time researching on ideation by reading books and watching films which can help spark off an epiphany, and she believes that “learning about existing works helps challenge one's originality’’.
Sophia Lee
Trying something new for her latest project, she ventures away from digital art and gets down and dirty with traditional charcoal which she feels requires one to focus as it has such minimal margins for error. Sophia counts this as one of her favourite projects so far, as traditional mediums allow her to be more instinctive, and the method of mark making allows individuality to be more apparent. As for times spent away from design, she enjoys decomposing into the couch next to her family and pet dog, Holly the Pornstar. Describing herself as your average plain Jane, we cannot help but disagree. With her witty sense of humour, Sophia Lee is definitely not plain at all =)

THE BURSTING ART HISTORY BUFF ON
LAPIS LAZULI Art History. 99% of the people can’t say these 2 words without wincing, but I happen to be the 1% who’s bursting at the seams to talk about (mostly dead) artists, which was why I begged to have a little column and I’m pretty sure nobody would really care to read but at least I’ve now got an outlet. I always wonder, what is the best way to get people interested in this subject? I think for my first article, I shall start with how I always feel and the reaction I always get when I try to engage somebody in the allegorical meaning in Botticelli’s Birth of Venus or how I always think Michelangelo only uses male models even for his females.
Christine Neo
For artists and designers today, pigments and colours come in just about every tone and shade perceivable by the human eye, but in the past, colours could be an indication of wealth and status. Vemeer, one of the greatest Dutch masters, painted “The Girl with the Pearl Earring”, which is sometimes hailed as “Mona Lisa of the North”, exuding the same air of mystery as her Italian counterpart (the former being prettier imo). Her turban has been painted with crushed Lapis Lazuli.
This illustration from an illuminated manuscript is titled “St. Nicholas refusing his mother’s milk.”
I of course, feel like the mother and whoever is the unlucky conversation partner, St. Nick. So recently, I’ve been reading and researching on manuscripts of the Middle Ages, both European and Islamic. Before the invention of the printing press, monks and calligraphers made books by hand and wrote every single word, often with elaborate decoration and use of precious materials such as gold and silver, thus the term “illuminated manuscript”. Colours like natural ultramarine from lapis lazuli was just as valuable as gold, where they were obtained from the mines in Afghanistan.
So I thought I’d leave a thought here. Do we as artists today, have too many colours to choose from? Should we try to limit our colour palettes so that it becomes our distinctive style, in the likes of Caravaggio and Rembrandt?

If the architecture of a building is the superficial anatomy, then interiors are the essential internal organs that function in the body. Surely if the building is a magnificent structure but the interior speaks otherwise, then there is no true beauty coming from within.
R
Interior Design engages students to create something that stimulates environments within areas such as existing buildings. The need to place importance on sensitivity, quality and understanding the needs of the inhabitants are essential for an interior designer as his/her role is to be the matchmaker between the existing architectural form and the methods to the organization, specification and enhancement of the space. To improve the quality of life would require intelligence and wisdom as such factors are conducive to financial success and propel an interior designer to greater heights and lengths that one could ever imagine of.

the Accidental Architect Leong Huey Miin
A few years after graduating with an architectural degree from the National University of Singapore, HueyMiin joined the Housing and Development Board of Singapore and was involved in the design and development of public housing. Thereafter, she worked for a hotel group which designs and develops hotels and resorts in Asia and Middle East, and worked as an urban planner with a planning office shortly before embarking on a teaching career. While her choice to study architecture was purely unpremeditated, Huey Miin eventually found her calling in architecture and design. She believes that when choices are not given, one should make the best out of the situation.
Zylvia Chang Zhi Ying
With respect to her working experience, she appreciates having been able to work on numerous overseas projects. She has memorable experiences of collaborating with the locals on the projects and engaging with the different cultures. The switch to teaching four years ago required her to adapt to a whole new working environment. The contact with every cohort of students provides ample occasions for her to observe and comprehend the complex nature of human conduct. HueyMiin particularly enjoys the process of putting together teaching content and exploring ways of delivery customized according to the different learning methods. HueyMiin explains that she herself also goes through the learning process with the students; as she constantly seeks for new knowledge and learning content. This mindset of hers is one that many should emulate. When asked for advice to students, HueyMiin points out that hard work and humility are two key factors in learning. She also adds, with a cheeky smile, that the one must also be critical of oneself and be opened to criticism from others.
The contact with every cohort of students provides ample occasions for her to observe and comprehend the complex nature of human conduct.
She further shares that she tends to design by intuition and critical questioning. She starts a design project by researching about the project, then questions what she has found and reacts in the way of a design process, drawing on her intuition and questioning it again throughout the iterative process. For her, the design process should be a spiritual journey where one be as authentic as possible, including being honest in material expressions. She shares a quote by the famous architect Louis Kahn, “when you are designing in brick, you must ask brick what it wants or what it can do.�

DEVOTION TO INTERIOR DESIGN Nas graduated with a Diploma in Interior Architecture and Design, from Temasek Polytechnic’s Design School, and his interest in the discipline has only grown stronger over the years. Featured here is of his school projects, where he had to propose an exhibition space for a local lighting company situated at the Red Dot Museum in Singapore. The perspective rendering shows a striking structure that clings onto the façade of the Red Dot Museum, capturing our attention.
Nas Hakim
The inspiration for the project stemmed from the concept of magnification in relation to how a microscope works. For the spatial design, Nas played with scale and perspective views. He incorporated the company’s logo subtly on the columns by breaking it up into graphics elements that are to be combined together again through the eyes of the viewer, thereby stimulating the viewer’s imagination. In order to fully appreciate and comprehend the design, the viewer has to view the design from a distance. Nas is inspired by the famed American architect Lebbeus Woods‘s way of thinking. Lebbeus Woods took a radical position on design, which people either love or hate. It is evident that Nas is passionate about interior design because from the way his eyes light up when he speaks about it. His energy is infectious, and in turn, we cannot help but feel inspired as well.

PROFICIENT FORM-MAKER
Armed with a Diploma in Architecture from the Singapore Polytechnic, Taufiq entered the Glasgow School of Art Singapore; a man of few words, often overshadowed by the more extroverted people around him. However, first impressions can be unreliable and his amiable personality soon won us over. We cannot help but to use the quote, “do not judge a book by its cover.” Taufiq’s hobbies include model making, something he got interested in while observing his seniors at work. While working on his intricate architectural models, he often incorporates light and sound effects to enhance the spatial character. Subsequently, he made use of online instructions to improve his knowledge on model making techniques. Using conceptual models as a starting point, Taufiq usually spends a few days exploring the conceptual forms, before moving on to build a fully detailed architectural model. The model making process will usually take up to three or four days, and it influences his designs. Ultimately, the models end up as the highlights of his presentations. Taufiq also finds inspiration by reading extensively and he takes an interest in design projects that incorporate sustainability. During his free time, he likes to gaze at the ‘forest’ (actually a park) in front of his apartment.

'Scarpa, Sergio Los 2009 Taschen, Koln German'
Carlo Scarpa was an Italian architect who ironically designed his own tomb, the Brion Family Cemetery. He had amazing sketching and drawing skills, and could draw two different ideas at the same time, using both of his hands. These quality sketches, from conceptualization to construction, were an amazing feat considering that AutoCad was non-existent back then. Known for his knowledge of materials and its properties, Carlo Scarpa used them to his advantage. His expert knowledge of how glass refracts light allowed him to create beautiful plays of light and shadow in an interior space, at the Canova Plaster Cast Gallery, Treviso. He taught me that to create a truly beautiful piece of interior or space, everything has to be considered. I am inspired by how he focused on the tiniest details and was able to design wonderful, clean spaces, and how he designed with intention and wit. He made me realise and want to do things with care and reason, and his works continue to inspire me to create clean and smart designs.

Geoffrey Bawa (Born 1919) The most remarkable thing about Geoffrey Bawa is not his prolific and inventive influence on Sri Lankan architecture. It is the fact that he amounted to anything at all. Born in 1919, Bawa was brought up from a privileged family, and studied English at Cambridge. After the death of his mother, he went on to major in Architecture and was only qualified with a Diploma in Architecture at the age of 38. Bawa revolutionized the Sri Lankan concept of urban living space, he was very much influenced by the character of natural vegetation to provide sustainable architecture. Known for his private houses and hotels, Bawa became the most influential Architect in the tropical Asian context. His philosophy was to re-examine his own culture and society’s tradition. Because of the forgotten architectural heritage, he and a group of talented young designers embarked on ambitious designs. Each of those explorations were treated as a test bed for new ideas. One of my favourite works is the Kandalama Hotel, located on the outskirt of Sri Lanka. This project is slightly more stylistically designed than his other works. Bawa was sensitive to site and context on various conditions, such as climate architecture and material usage which he meticulously articulated into his works. The Kandalama Hotel was an excellent example of how an undeveloped landscape can be integrated successfully with the fostering of natural beauty. Another resurgence of his innovative powers, the famous Lunuganga project, encompasses a play of light and shade, surprising vistas and a composite use of greens in the garden – a beautiful scenographic landscape of spaces. http://tourism.wildasia.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Heritance-Kandalama.jpg http://www.travelolanka.com/images/hotel/1358345780_0!!-!!HeritanceKandalama.jpg

How to survive submission week in GSA Singapore 1. Always remember where your USB flash drive is kept. Having your trusty sidekick within arms reach is the best choice. After all, we all know submission week is a killer, as most of us are busy rushing around making final touches to our work. What could be worse than the horror of finding your flash drive missing, and no one around to loan you one!
2. Remember to "chope" your spot before submission day comes. Take note, for this is one of the more important moves. Land space is a problem in Singapore, but that happens right inside the studios as well! To ensure that you have a good spot for presentation, remember to reserve your preferred space in the studio early. It does not matter what you use to mark the area. Feel free to unleash your creativity! May the best man win! (All is fair in love and war.)

3. Always remember your daily shot of caffeine Have you had your fix yet? There is a saying that goes coffee makes the world go round. Well, that is what we would like to believe anyway. Coffee is fuel for our poor, shriveled and dying brains, and as sustaining as nectar for the gods. If you have not met your daily requirement, do not fret, for coffee can always be found near the studios. No excuse for turning up in school brain dead!
4. Keep a bag of nuts with you at all time! No, stop looking down. I most certainly am not referring to those. I meant almond, peanuts, cashews, macadamia; the more the merrier! Just in case you get too carried away with your work and miss meals (like design students are bound to do); these healthy crunchy bites are easy to munch on. It will keep your stomach occupied and help boost your memory power too! Tip: Bring a bag to school and see how quickly it disappears!
5. Make the ‘CMD’ and ‘S’ keys your best friend. You know the old saying better safe then sorry? Always keep this mantra in your head. With the lack of sleep and your computer running longer hours then usual, anything can happen. Do it all the time. If you cannot recall if you have yet to save, just hit those buttons. Spending three minutes staring at the rainbow wheel of death is better then crying when the software crashes on you!
