Tzu-Nyen Ho: 2 South Seas, 3 Chairs, 4 Suits

T118303097
2 South Seas is a revisitation of an event widely attributed as the birth of modern art in Singapore. In 1952, a few 'pioneer' artists made a trip to Bali and returned with an album of motifs from which they constructed the rudiments of a 'Nanyang' or South Seas Style. This trip revisted paul Gauguin's legendary visit to the 'Southern Seas' of Tahiti, 60 years later. In 4 Suits, Tzu-Nyen Ho will re-tell a history of repetition and difference by tracking the recurrence of the motif of the 'suit' beginning with the celebrated Felt Suit (1970) that embodied Beuys' personal myth of artistic rebirth. Ho extends his art history analysis with theories of cultural transmissions, repetitions and mutations.
