Published in conjunction with the inaugural exhibition of the National Gallery Singapore titled 'Siapa Nama Kamu'.
'The exhibition and this accompanying publication aims to provide visitors with an understanding and appreciation of Singapore art, its development and links with Southeast Asia, Asia, and other parts of the world. One of the key underlying issues that will be addressed is the relationship between modernism and modernity in Singapore. It will explore how we can better understand the story of art in Singapore in relation to the story of Singapore itself; how the development of art in Singapore relates to the modernisation of Singapore as a society. It will further examine some of the leading factors that have shaped this development of art and how this is connected to the development of art in the region, offering ways in which we can understand our art within a larger, regional and even global context.' - extracted from the foreword by Eugene Tan, Director of the National Gallery Singapore
