Synopsis:
Accompanying the exhibition Transcend at Visual Art Centre, this lecture will provide an overview of Singapore Visual Arts History from the Pioneer modernists, through the Equator Society to the Second Generation artists who sought to adapt avant-garde artistic trends to their own cultural concerns to produce what they described as "new" art that was developed from modernity, and conditioned by Singapore and Malaysia's social background.
