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.

This outdoor exhibition urges us to question our ways of seeing and assumptions around photography.

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.

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.
