ABOUT THE
GALLERY
U N V E I LI N G M O D E R N S I N G A P O R E A N D SOU TH E A S T A S I A N A R T National Gallery Singapore is a leading visual arts institution overseeing the largest public collection of modern art in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Situated at the birthplace of modern Singapore, in the heart of the Civic District, the Gallery is housed in two national monuments—City Hall and former Supreme Court—that have been beautifully restored and transformed into this exciting 64,000 square metres venue. Reflecting Singapore’s unique heritage and geographical location, the Gallery aims to be a progressive museum that creates dialogues between the art of Singapore, Southeast Asia and the world to foster and inspire a creative and inclusive society. This is reflected in our collaborative research, education initiatives, long-term and special exhibitions, and innovative programming. BOARD MEMBERS Hsieh Fu Hua (Chairman) Jose Isidro N.

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Dear friends, The Gallery celebrated a milestone in January when we welcomed our fifth millionth visitor, only a few months after our third anniversary. Our ardent followers may have noticed that in the last three years, our exhibitions have focused not only on art from the 20 th century, but also on more recent art. Contemporary artists have produced site-specific works for spaces within the Gallery and for our festivals. While a big part of what we do at the Gallery is about telling stories about the histories of art in Singapore and the region, we also acknowledge that how we understand the past is always changing, and that contemporary artists play a key role in helping us to see it with new eyes. This quarter, we will be launching several shows that exemplify this vital relationship between contemporary art and our past. Our latest Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission, SEA STATE 9: proclamation garden by Charles Lim Yi Yong, examines Singapore’s history of land reclamation by transforming the Gallery’s roof garden with over 30 species of plants found in reclaimed sites around the island. At the Singtel Special Exhibition Gallery, Awakenings: Art in Society in Asia 1960s–1990s investigates how artists became catalysts for change in some of Asia’s most turbulent decades. These artists’ experimental approaches to art challenged artistic and sociopolitical conventions and captured the changing times. Audiences can also look forward to encountering exciting new commissions in the Gallery Children’s Biennale 2019 returning in May. With the theme "Embracing Wonder," audiences can expect works by esteemed contemporary artists inspired by the visual culture and daily life of Southeast Asia's past. We invite you to come and reflect on the past and contemplate the present through exhibitions, programmes and conversations at National Gallery Singapore.
Eugene Tan Director, National Gallery Singapore

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS NG TENG FONG ROOF GARDEN COMMISSION: CHARLES LIM YI YONG
NEW
Until 27 Oct | City Hall Wing, Level 5, Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery
Image courtesy of Charles Lim Yi Yong.
The third work in the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series is SEA STATE 9: proclamation garden by Charles Lim Yi Yong, Singapore’s representative at the 2015 Venice Biennale. The artist completely transforms the Gallery’s roof garden with plants found in reclaimed areas from Changi to Tuas and the Southern Islands, offering not only a greater biodiversity of flora but also an inquiry into Singapore’s history of land reclamation. These narratives will be generated through the plants, whose transplantation, adaptation to survive, and eventual disposal tell the stories of Singapore’s urban and coastal developments. SEA STATE 9: proclamation garden is a work in progress, evolving over the exhibition period as the plants grow. Series Sponsor
The Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery is made possible through a gift by Far East Organization.

LONG–TERM EXHIBITIONS SIAPA NAMA KAMU? Art in Singapore since the 19th Century Ongoing | City Hall Wing, Level 2, DBS Singapore Gallery Goh Beng Kwan Black Afternoon 1963 Acrylic on canvas, 126.2 x 111.3 cm On display at DBS Singapore Gallery 2
“Siapa Nama Kamu?” means “What is your name?” The inaugural exhibition of the DBS Singapore Gallery poses this question, inviting visitors to consider how art may relate to issues of self and community, and what it means to look at Singapore through its art. Siapa Nama Kamu? weaves together a rich and captivating narrative featuring artworks in a broadly chronological sequence, tracing Singapore’s art history from the 19th century to the present day. Drawing on almost 400 works, it explores the influences and practices that have shaped and transformed Singapore art. Liu Kang Gallery Located within the DBS Singapore Gallery, this space commemorates pioneer artist Liu Kang’s role in the development of modern art in Singapore. In 2003, Liu Kang (1911–2004) and his wife Chen Jen Pin (1913–2009) generously donated close to 1,000 paintings and works on paper to the National Collection, forming the largest donation of a single artist’s work to the Collection to date.

LONG–TERM EXHIBITIONS BETWEEN DECLARATIONS & DREAMS: Art of Southeast Asia since the 19th Century Ongoing | Supreme Court Wing, Levels 3–5, UOB Southeast Asia Gallery Housed in the former Supreme Court building, the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery presents over 300 artworks that trace the shared artistic impulses across Southeast Asia since the mid-19th century. The exhibition navigates the art history of Southeast Asia as one that is characterised by a continuous engagement with global artistic concerns as the region’s artists negotiated the meaning of art and sought to reinvent vernacular traditions. Displayed in a largely chronological sequence, the exhibition is punctuated by key turning points in artistic sensibilities, demonstrating that art is inseparably linked to the region’s tumultuous social and political histories.

MUSIC AND MINIMALISM: COMPOSITIONS FOR CHARLES CURTIS
This talk by Jennifer Burris (Assistant Professor of Curatorial Practice, Nanyang Technological University) explores the intimate exchange between composer and musician in the development of Minimalist music. It focuses on four works specially written by artists for renowned concert cellist Charles Curtis. This series of compositions draws on Buddhist philosophies and traditions of Indian classical singing to investigate hearing, which according to Curtis is "not just [...] the physiological processing of sound waves [but] an infinitely complex layering of emotional and cultural responses, memories, habits, preferences, and so on."
