DESCRIPTION:https://www.fridae.asia/tc/agenda/8243\n\nContemporary art is o
 ften a dialogue with the social\, economic and cultural issues of the pres
 ent. The explosion of art produced in Asia since 2000 can thus be a window
  allowing us a view or vista into the epochal changes happening around us.
  Cultures melt into each other\, while urbanisation has transformed once f
 amiliar landscapes beyond recognition. At the same time\, local communitie
 s and localities have responded to these homogenising forces with re-asser
 tions of local identity and distinctiveness. Debates and discussions are t
 aking place in various localities across the globe\, and at ‘fibre-optic
 ’ speeds through the Internet which no longer allow us the possibility o
 f living in isolated silos.\n\nPANORAMA offers a wide lens to examine our 
 world and chart some of the issues pervading contemporary art-making in As
 ia today - the negotiation over values\, social and political change\, esc
 alating urbanisation and the subsequent pressures on nature. Artists such 
 as Agnes Arellano remind us of the power of myth and its role in construct
 ing tradition and identity. Agus Suwage tracks the power of media images a
 nd how their mass circulation in our consumer society has shaped our perce
 ptions of the world. Nalini Malani recalls the contest of values that has 
 led to many conflicts in the world\, while :phunk points us to ‘electric
 ity’\, as a symbol of the creative energy that has propelled the growth 
 of modern global cities like Singapore.\n\nDrawn entirely from the contemp
 orary art collection of the Singapore Art Museum\, this first edition of P
 ANORAMA features 24 artists from 8 Asian countries working in painting\, s
 culpture\, drawing\, photography\, video and installation. PANORAMA part I
 I is scheduled for 2013/2014.
