Dinh Q. Lê Finds Beauty in Tragedy

Viewing an artwork can be a very powerful experience and the memory may stay with you for a long time. The impact can be even greater for the artist who created it. One of the most powerful works for Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê is a series he first created in 1997, shortly after returning to Vietnam—the homeland he had fled when he was 10 years old. Titled “Cambodia: Splendor and Darkness,” the series comprised photographic portraits of victims of the Khmer Rouge regime woven together with shots of the exquisite wall carvings at Angkor Wat. “There are certain bodies of work you’ve done, you feel it’s completed and you let it go, and some others that stay with you. I think this body was kind of, maybe haunting is not the word, but I always felt it was not complete; for a variety of reasons. At the time, I was only using photography, which had a lot of limitations; I really hate the glossy surface of photography, its plastic feel, and I always felt this body of work needs to ...

“Village boy” Zai Kuning and his artistic inquiry into Singapore's cultural history

For the past 18 years, artist Zai Kuning has been investigating Malay history and culture, in particular the lesser-known narratives of the orang laut (semi-nomadic indigenous fishermen who live along the coastlines of the Riau Archipelago), mak yong (a disappearing traditional form of Malay dance-drama) and the pre-Islamic history of the Malays. His dedicated research culminated last year with a much-lauded, large-scale installation at the 57th Venice Biennale, which is now on view at 72 13, Singapore, an art space that may be better known as the home of TheatreWorks. Dapunta Hyang: Transmission of Knowledge features a 17-metre-long suspended phinisi boat skeleton made of rattan, string and wax that seemingly floats over piles of books. The ship is a representation of the imaginary vessel of Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa, the first ruler of the Srivijayan Empire as he went on ...

Sparkling Innovation - Can the right music enhance your champagne tasting experience?

For the last three years Krug Champagne has been inviting musicians as varied as soul singer Gregory Porter, modern jazz master Jacky Terrasson and the French indie pop duo The Dø to taste its annual offerings and then custom-tailor a music list that best reflects their experience. The list is made available through the Krug Apps which pair every Krug bottle with the right music thanks to a six-digit ID code on the back of each bottle. Last year, British soul singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas was asked to find a pairing for “Les Créations de 2004,” a limited edition tribute comprising the latest vintage alongside the Krug Grande Cuvée 160th Edition (Les Créations de 2004 are served in-flight in Singapore Airlines’ Suites and First Class). The singer chose to pair that vintage with her hit single ‘Unstoppable’ remarking, “Just as the lyrics talk about being carried ‘to another galaxy’, if you close your eyes when tasting Krug 2004 you are transported by its aromas and flav...

The Art of Evolution; Theo Jansen's Strandbeests

Every spring a new Strandbeest (beach animal in Dutch) is ‘ born ’ on the northern beaches of Holland. The strange-looking creature with spindly legs and wings on its back will then take its first steps, gently coaxed by its ‘father’, Theo Jansen, and slowly learns to adapt to its seaside environment before becoming dying in the fall. The Strandbeest is actually a wind-powered kinetic sculpture that blurs the lines between art, engineering, and science. Surprisingly in the hi-tech age of computerized Artificial Intelligence, they are built out of rather mundane materials (PVC tubes, zip ties, recycled plastic bottles) yet the beach animals can not only walk on their own but can also react to their environment having developed over time a sense of self preservation. Jansen refuses to label his sophisticated kinetic sculptures as artworks and instead refers to them as a fast evolving new species on earth, dividing each generation into time periods and giving them scientific...
