Introduction
Professor C.J. W.-L. Wee presented on “The Singapore Contemporary and Contemporary Art in Singapore”. He proposed that the idea of contemporary art entailed a pre-supposition of the existence of an idea of the contemporary. This meant that the structure of temporality is to be comprehended as the way time is conceptualised and lived out in society, rather than time that is natural. The contemporary is both an idea of the present time and the goal of effectively reacting to the demands of that present.
The lecture looked at how contemporary art in Singapore relates to the socio-political context within which it functions. Contemporary art draws on an alternative tradition of modernism, contesting the principles of autonomous art in the name of connecting art with life, and interpreting content and cultural orientation for the needs of the local. An exhibition and three moments of contemporary art in Singapore were used to illustrate this. This lecture was presented in conjunction with Singapore Art Week and the National Museum of Singapore’s latest contemporary art exhibition, What is Not Visible is Not Invisible.
