This exhibition is currently on from 9th November to 3rd December 2017 at Chan+Hori Contemporary at Gillman barracks.
anGie seah has been around for a while, initially starting off with sculptures and 2d paintings and sculptures, then moving on to performance and community art.
She was in the Singapore and Venice Biennale 2013 so she is a recognised name. But however she hasn't really been in the Gallery system, so it was good to see her in a mainstream gallery. Because eventually for an artist to be really successful, he/she has to be known to the art collectors/galleries and auction houses and not only the institutions. Mainly because the institutions' tastes depend on the curatorial team which changes or is forced to change their focus ever so often, whereas the art collectors collect for themselves.
Anyway Angie presented videos, drawings, sculptures, prints, photos and paintings.
One can see that she is more proficient in sculptures and performance. She did her DFA majoring in sculpture. Pizza Queen and I loved her ceramics pieces. And there were three pieces of ceramics which came with a print of instructions on how to use the ceramics, a la a performance piece. We felt that it encapsulated the essence of her better attributes of performance and ceramics.
Point for collectors: Angie Seah buy to Strong buy rating. Really love her 'Breathe into heart of Sea" piece which I think had been snapped up on opening night.
