A Malaysia - Singapore Contemporary Photography Exchange
Photography Exhibition
"Time: Chinatown" by John Clang
Sun 21 Mar to Sun 4 Apr
[Hours: Sun to Thu: 11am to 8pm]
Presented by The Annexe Gallery and 2902 Gallery
Admission Free
This collaborative exhibition between The Annexe Gallery & 2902 Galler features works by eight gifted photographers from Malaysia and Singapore, enabling a visual dialogue between the two countries.
Singaporean photographers: John Clang, Teo Chai Guan, Ore Hui Ying, Muhammad Nuruddin. Malaysian photographers: Bernice Chauly, Lim Thian Leong, Minstrel Kuik, Tan Chee Hon. Thematically, the works by Malaysians deals with the photographers' relationships to the country and the imaging/imagining of this home. Responding to representations of national aspirations and terror, they play with degrees of irony, wit and personal involvement. On the other hand, the works by Singaporeans presents distinctive and acutely clear voices on their affiliation with the land revealing detachment, exploration of identity in relation to their environment, nostalgia and memories all within a spatial context. Collectively, the single thread of commonality that these images share is that in communicating a sense of space and place, their works reveals the photographers' relationship and response to their environment.
