Have you ever wondered how visual distortions–also known as anamorphic effects–are produced? Are you keen to create your own 3D drawings? In this workshop led by artist Isabella Teng, learn how to employ distortion and perspective in creating your own anamorphic masterpieces to bring home!

No prior experience is needed. This workshop is suitable for ages six and above.

This workshop responds to Isabella Teng’s latest public art commission Little Islands as part of Port/raits of Tanjong Pagar: Encounters with Art in the Neighbourhood. Through three anamorphic artworks situated across Tanjong Pagar Plaza, the artist attempts to subvert the notion of limited space through artistic interventions that give the viewer a visceral sense of spaciousness. These artworks offer different experiences of “island life” by revisiting and reinventing our relationship with Singapore as an island-state.

Join artist Michael Lee as he reflects on Creatif Compleks, from its inception at The Vitrine in NTU CCA Singapore in 2018, to its second iteration at its current location at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. The artwork presents a diagram of a hypothetical property development with various configurations for an art studio and personal living space. Proposed features of the property include “AmphiKitchen,” “Make with Pre-Anthropocene Matters,”“CryoCache,” “24-Hour Tech Support,” and “Refugees Welcome.” Five years on, Lee reflects on whether these ideal features are essential for artistic growth, or whether they are mere luxuries for privileged daydreamers. Uncover how myths, fantasies, perceptions and beliefs about creativity impact artistic pursuits and reflect the social dynamics of an art scene. This talk also serves as a preview to a long-term series of engagements where Lee will continue to unpack the themes of the artwork with different guests. 

The 2022 version of Creatif Compleks is commissioned by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum, with the support of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd.

Looking at the relationship with the self and others, as well as with liminal spaces and places in time, The Everyday Museum presents an evening of film screenings, with four films by local filmmakers Boo Jun Feng and Nicole Midori Woodford, and movement-based artist Ma YueRu. These films offer vignettes of introspection and retrospection, of the public and private, extending our exploration of relationships through various forms of visual language.

Join Andreas Schlegel, Chok Si Xuan and Shaiful Hardy as they speak more about the ideation process behind the installation The Oort Cloud and the Blue Mountain. The work was inspired by the astronomical phenomenon of the Oort Cloud, an extended shell of icy objects that exist on the outer reaches of our solar system. Learn more about how the work explores ideas of sensory perception. 

This talk extends from The Oort Cloud and the Blue Mountain: Edition Tanjong Pagar Distripark by Hazel Lim-Schlegel and Andreas Schlegel, commissioned by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum, with the support of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd. Through computer-generated images and augmented reality (AR) objects that appear when visitors scan a set of QR codes, the installation extends into a virtual space and reflects on the increasingly digitised world where technology has become a key mediator of human experiences.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the augmented reality (AR) objects created by Chok Si Xuan and Shaiful Hardy for The Oort Cloud and the Blue Mountain in their physical forms and structures. The celestial debris from the Oort Cloud belt will be reimagined as space jewellery fashioned out of organic and synthetic materials. Participants will tinker with these objects, combine them with basic circuitry and fashion them into wearable ornaments.
