In 1981, the Filipino artist and curator Raymundo Albano adopted the expression “Suddenly Turning Visible” to describe the rapid transformation of Manila’s urban landscape. The visibility that Albano evoked was aspirational, driven by a desire for rapid economic growth in which art had a critical role. This catalogue traces this story through three influential art institutions: The Cultural Centre of the Philippines, the Alpha Gallery in Singapore, and the Bhirasri Institute of Modern Art in Bangkok. It presents in rich detail artworks from the period, an anthology of primary documents, and interviews with curators, artists and architects, revealing the links between architecture, modern art and the role of institutions in Southeast Asia.

Through character, narrative and composition, visionary artist Chua Mia Tee goes beyond mere representation to construct iconic images of Singapore’s changing landscapes and its inhabitants. Chua’s writings, collected for the first time in this catalogue alongside full-coloured plates and curatorial essays, lend insight to a prolific artistic practice beginning in the 1950s. One of Singapore’s most acclaimed artists, Chua was conferred the Cultural Medallion award in 2015.

Today, sculpture encompasses any time-based and spatial activity. It has expanded far beyond the conventional parameters that used to define this medium, such as volume, mass and presence. The discourses surrounding sculpture have also evolved to address a larger sociocultural environment, art world and time scale. Featuring a curatorial essay, and new interviews with artists and historians, this publication traces the evolution of sculpture in Singapore from the 19th century to the present, and broadens the story by including works that are not conventionally thought of as being sculpture, such as religious works, funerary artefacts, ceramics and sculptural reliefs, as well as performance and installation art.

Teo Eng Seng: We’re Happy. Are You Happy? offers a comprehensive overview of Singapore artist Teo Eng Seng’s bold experimentations over the last seven decades. Teo is known for his invention of what he terms “paperdyesculp”—a malleable mixture of pulp, natural fibres and other commonplace materials, and his technique of finessing it, inspired by Chinese papermaking and calligraphic traditions, and Western abstraction. Through painting, sculpture and paperdyesculp, Teo draws aesthetic vocabularies from an extraordinary range of cultural sources only to deconstruct them, directing the self—spontaneous and raw as he deems—in irreverent jest. Pervasive in his oeuvre is a radical openness to the social world, teasing us to question the human condition with unabashed humour, irony and wit.
