love and hate relationship

'Taiwan may never be recognised internationally as a truly independent nation. But then neither will China be recognised as holding a credible claim of sovereignty over Taiwan.'

-Bangkok Post 23/12/08

competition

"you can live happily in this competitive world only if you yourself are not competitive.

...

actually, you will do far better work if you have a job that you love.

...

competition does not produce intelligence ...

...

unfortunately, we are not trained to love what we do. all that you are trained for is to get high marks, to pass examinations, and to prepare for a good job."

- From A Timeless Spring, pages 59-60

J. Krishnamurti

perhaps in designer's dictionary,

modify spells like this:

sleeping

once thought as waste of time,

now i've realized it,

as my way of escaping.

from reality.

fame

it's about who you are connected with and the persistence of doing what you have been doing.

About SCYA:

Singapore Contemporary Young Artists aims to gather and promote talented young practicing artists whose works show potential for recognition.

The first round of 23 artists selected represent a continuity of their practice as well as work in the art of the time. They could be dealing with pop-culture, identity, religion, history, sexuality, multiculturalism, globalisation, new-media technology, bio-engineering and even AIDS awareness in forms of painting, installation, printmaking, sculptures, drawings, performance art, multimedia formats and text.

SCYA aims to first complete a detailed website containing links and collaborations with various government constituencies, educational institutions and art communities, following after a curated exhibition of promising Young Artists in 2009 and eventually produce a publication in 2010-11 to mark a generation of Singapore’s Contemporary Young Artists.

SCYA projects are currently run by Jacklyn Soo and Sabrina Koh.

Project is kindly funded by National Arts Council
