The Gallery’s first-ever 3D film showcase Painting with Light presents its inaugural 3D film screening. Tracing the artistic evolution of legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham over three decades of risk-taking and discovery between 1944 to 1972, Cunningham is a breathtaking explosion of dance, music, and never-before-seen archival material. The film takes the audience on a visceral journey through his visionary work. Exclusive Film Commissions This series of exclusive film commissions produced in tandem with the exhibition Something New Must Turn Up: Six Singaporean Artists After 1965 will deepen audience’s understanding of the exhibition, while also initiating new discourses. These experimental works by Singapore filmmakers respond to what the six artists in the exhibition present as “new,” exploring their works and key aspects of their artistic practices. These screenings will be accompanied by insightful post-screening dialogues. 27
