For the first In-Gallery Session of 2021, assistant curator Jennifer K. Y. Lam will trace the junctures and transformations that the Chinese ink medium underwent in the Singapore context. For much of the 20th century, migrant artists and scholars taught calligraphy and Chinese ink painting in Singapore. Their concerns on how Southeast Asian inspirations could be expressed with the medium, and whether the modern spirit could be infused into ink painting, often inspired innovations that have impacted subsequent generations of local artists.
The session will be conducted at DBS Singapore Gallery 2 (City Hall Wing, Level 2) from 11am to noon on Sat 20 Feb. Due to current regulations, audience capacity is limited. Click here to register your attendance for the live event.

Location: City Hall Wing, Level 2, DBS Singapore Gallery 2
