Date: 8 June 2007

Meeting Venue: Clark Quay MRT Station
The Itinery
1. Pablo Picasso: The Vollard Suit @Singapore Tyler Print Institute
The first-ever solo show by Pablo Picasso in Singapore, the Vollard Suit is a $2m exhibition of his rare and complete set of 100 etchings, aquatints and drypoints, made between 1930-37.
2. As Brutal As @La Libreria Gallery
In this solo exhibition, local artist Genevieve Chua explores themes of psychological horror and sexuality through pencil drawings on paper. Her evocative interpretations of light, texture and details invoke viewers to rethink their perceptions and conjure new experiences.
3. Azhanti High Lightning @Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
Contemporary Asian society is constantly buffeted by change, often sudden, unexpected, affecting an individual or entire culture, and with lasting influence. Come face to face with change, evolution and inevitability in this dramatic and immersive installation artwork that fills an entire gallery space. With seven distinct parts and film-set type construction, the installation takes the viewer on a remarkable journey of sights and sounds, beginning with a large sculpture. Describing the spaces will be a series of room experiences that feature, among others, a 360-degree movie theatre.
4. Domestic Bliss: Exploring the Myth of the Happy Home @Sculpture Square (Chapel Gallery)
The concept of family and home is an enduring and powerful force in Asian society. But laid over this hallowed reverence is the material gloss of the modern era. An idealised model of the nuclear family has come to be at the centre of advertising images, superseding the complex and multi-generational family structures that traditional Asian families possess. Three contemporary Malaysian artists - Sharmiza Abu Hassan, Vincent Leong, and Chang Yoong Chia - have produced challenging, funny and thought-provoking explorations on family and domesticity for this group exhibition. Their installations present a fresh and stimulating take on domestic bliss.
5. Engraving the World: A Selection from the Chalcography Collection of the Louvre Museum, Zeng Fanzhi - Idealism and Their Permanent Collection (recommended for those who are interested to know more about Singapore and South-east Asian Art) @Singapore Art Museum
6. Streetworks: inside outside Yokohama @The Substation
A highlight of the International Triennale of Contemporary Art Yokohama 2005, the work of leading Australian video artists, Shaun Gladwell and Craig Walsh, hits the pavements of South East Asia.
While Walsh connects the gallery space to the outside urban environment, Gladwell works in reverse. In different ways both artists have produced work that generates a tension between gallery and the public street. Their emphasis on other opposing values is also highlighted in the exhibition that moves laterally around concepts of performance and documentation, high art and low art, sub-cultural and pop-cultural, staged and real.

There will be time for lunch, don't worry:)

Few weeks back I had my pc re-formatted and installed an antivirus programme "BitDefender" - and guess what, every single time I visit our beloved AEP blog I get infected with a Trojan virus!
