Event: Palimpsest, an Art Glass Solutions Exhibition
Opening: Thursday 10 November 2009
Duration: 11 November till 9 December 2009
Location: Sculpture Square, 155 Middle Road, Singapore

Art Glass Solutions is proud to announce our forthcoming collaborative exhibition Palimpsest. The exhibition will feature twelve artists of international standing all born or based in Singapore. The artists are working together in a collaborative working style to create artworks that use other artworks as canvases in order to create a Palimpsest.

A Palimpsest is a manuscript written over a partly erased older manuscript

in such a way that the old words can be read beneath the new…

The exhibition is curated by Dominic Fondé for Art Glass Solutions and features the artists:

Chris Yap, Ng Siok Hoon, Anita Nevins, Michelle Zheng, Noriko Suzuki-Bosco, April Ng, B. Jane Cowie, Sunny Chyun, Richard Lim, Chua Teng Yeow, Dominic Fondé and Joshua Yang.

The exhibition aims to explore the process of collaborative works, open a dialogue between artists conceptually and technically, and engender links between resident and expatriate artists living and working in Singapore. These artists work in a diverse range of media, ranging from photography to painting, digital animation to charcoal drawing. The project additionally provides artists with the opportunity to experiment with glass as an artist’s material within the Art Glass Solutions studios in Singapore.

Singapore is a country created by a diverse mixture of people, customs and cultures. We live together and create close collaborative communities, which over time contribute to the palimpsest development of our uniquely Singaporean culture. The exhibition is a celebration of our shared lives and living space as an important factor to the development of this nation state.

The exhibition will be held at Sculpture Square during November and December 2009 and is accompanied by a series of artist talks and workshops run in conjunction with the exhibition.
