Stories That Matter: Myths

Stories That Matter: Independent Documentaries 
Date: 27 Feb to 2 Mar, 7.30pm
Venue: Chapel Gallery, Objectifs
Admission: $10 per screening, $8 student concession, $35 per season pass, buy tickets here: http://stm2019pass.peatix.com

This year’s selection of films brings to the fore the tensions and connections between reality and imagination, past and future, the individual and the collective, surfacing new ways of understanding how contemporary and traditional myths evolve and disrupt our ways of being.

Seminar: Constructing the “Self” through Art
By Kelvin Kyung Kun Park
Date: Sat 2 Mar, 2pm to 3.30pm
Venue: Workshop Space, Objectifs
Admission: $15, register at http://www.objectifs.com.sg/kelvinparkseminar

Award-winning filmmaker and visual artist Kelvin Kyung Kun Park’s work frequently takes inspiration from the cultural anxieties, myths and narratives that inform South Korea’s identity. With close reference to his own career, he will discuss how in Asia, where the individual is often overlooked in favour of collective identity, art making is an opportunity to construct the “self” he never had. He will also share his experiences straddling the film world and the art world.

Stories That Matter: ICONS and The Land Archive 
Date: 27 Feb to 14 Apr
Venue: Courtyard, Objectifs

Admission: Free
This outdoor exhibition urges us to question our ways of seeing and assumptions around photography. It features work from ICONS by Swiss artists Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger, who recreate the world’s most influential photographs in their studio, and The Land Archive, where Singapore artist Robert Zhao Renhui presents mythic scenes of Singapore from the past and the future.

Panel Discussion: Myth-making / Art-making
Featuring Loo Zihan, Zarina Muhammad, Daniel Hui & Nurul Huda 

Date: Sat 2 Mar, 4.30pm to 6pm
Venue: Workshop Space, Objectifs

Admission: Free; RSVP at http://mythmaking.peatix.com

Join us for a robust discussion on how the investigation of myths takes on different forms in art-making, with four Singapore artists whose practices interrogate and disrupt existing paradigms within history, convention and folklore.

Panel Discussion: Myth and Image
Featuring Robert Zhao Renhui, Ore Huiying & Tom White 

Date: Fri 8 Mar, 7.30pm to 9pm
Venue: Workshop Space, Objectifs
Admission: Free; RSVP at http://mythandimage.peatix.com

How and to what end are images constructed, and how does this affect our perceptions of the image and the stories they depict? Visual artist Robert Zhao Renhui and documentary photographer Ore Huiying tackle this question with reference to their own photography practice.

Venue: Objectifs, 155 Middle Road, Singapore 188977

When: 26 Feb - 14 Apr 2019,
